So we'll be without the skipper for the next three games (for the record for those who aren't on top of our fixtures, these are West Brom (H), Spurs (A) and Burnley (H)). How would you line up our defence for those games?

Stick with the five or change to a four?
Bring in Veltman?
Move Burn to CB and drop March back to LWB?

Based on his form this season, it’s not too much of a disaster.

Who knows with Potter.

I personally would play Lamptey, Veltman, White, Webster & March.

One area where we have more than ample cover, assume Ryan will be skipper

This is why we brought in Veltman.

White did a job in that holding midfield role. Can see Burn as CB and White continuing in front of them. But who knows.

Well be fine.
If Dunk had been bought by a PL rival, we'd be in this position regularly

Well, we have spare CBs that's for sure.

Chance to see something different, maybe Veltman.

Suddenly short of a CB, can't believe it. Roll out the next one

Veltman will come in.

Whether it's 5 or 4 at the back we won't know until Monday week

More CB's than you can shake a stick at, we will be fine. It's only West Brom.

Think we'll stick with three at the back (plus wing backs). Veltman or Burn to come in for Dunk - both good options for cover.

Dunk is an amazing player but doesn't look good this seaosn so far. I wouldn't be surprised with Ben White back to CD and with Dan Burn 1st squad, we would look better at the moment. Then Alazate it's going back to CM and that's first 11 for me

Probably White. Trying to work out whether Potter moved White to midfield as a long term change of position, as a one off tactical switch, or just to keep him in the side and confidence up - as it wasn't really tenable to keep him in defence right now.
