Like any player coming back from long term injury he looked woefully short of match fitness yesterday but as we all know he will come back as good as he was eventually and we need him in his best position not as a centre back except in an emergency.
I appreciate that but like yesterday if similar happened in the 70th minute could any of them come on for 20 minutes if named on the bench . The old cometh the hour cometh the man syndrome and Hall has played for Motherwell in the Scottish Premier
Looking at the games on paper and the teams strengths that seems an obvious move. I think that everybody would agree that Leeds away seems to be our most difficult game to be played.
This will break him in gently before Derby on Friday. With Duffy I would have bet on us beating Derby and him controlling Bent leaving Ince for others but not so sure without him.
Is Bruno next in line if Tonmori is a CB and a lot will depend on whether LR has to play left back or can revert to his best position at right back to cover Bruno.
The remaining fixtueres before Dunkl misses the last 3 if he can last that long are not difficult:
Leeds (a)
Blackburn
Birmingham
QPR (a)
Wolves (a)
Wigan
We should be able to get 10+ points from those games. That is of course assuming we get 6 points this week.
If the worse happens and it is true obviously Hunemier will step in but has anybody seen Dallision, White or Hall play and could one of them step up to the squad as cover or would we have to rely on Bruno or Tomori to play there?
