    Wing woes

    So Bennett is out for 4 games alongside injuries to Conway,gladwin and Chapman leaving us with just antonsson so how do we get through the next 2 crucial league games?
    We could use a inexperienced Rankin Costello
    Use nyambe as a right winger with caddis just behind or go with 3 at the back with 2 wing backs
    I personally would favour Rankin Costello for the unknown factor but Mowbray I feel will go for the wing back option.

    He might also put Whittingham wide, but he's not suited to that role. I suspect it will lead to a formation change, although the other possibility is that Conway could be switched to the right.

    Strong chance Conway still won't be ready if this is the case this is where Mowbray will earn his pay.

    Bring back Feeney - all is forgiven!

    Well if we needed any evidence Saturday was a prime example of a quick winger in desperately needed
    Conway and Bennett are the only fit wingers we have and we looked woefully poor in distribution on the flanks
    So while knickers get twisted over possibly losing out on bell maybe we should turn our attention to a winger and quickly.

    It's the absolute priority, Robin. I honestly think we we can make do elsewhere, but there is no obvious winger in the U-23s.
    Clearly, we could do with a creative central midfielder as well, but the chances of getting a quality player in that position in the January window (and in Division One!) are very slight.
    Chapman's injury is the most frustrating aspect of the whole season.
