    I agree about Nyambe's recent performances, and I have always been a supporter of his, but you do keep ignoring the fact that he was dropped in the first place because he had an awful patch of form, and lots of fans were saying he wasn't good enough for the Championship. That is exactly WHY Bennett was tried there, and - at first - it was generally acknowledged that he was an improvement.
    No-one would deny that he was persevered with for too long, but the history of the situation is what it is!

    On the general point, I agree that Rothwell has too many anonymous games. So does Armstrong. Once a month, one or other of them puts on a top-notch performance and seals a place, but then we seem to get little from them for several games in a row.
    I don't think for a moment that Armstrong (or Rothwell, probably) will be dropped, but if I was in charge, I might experiment with having Graham and Gallagher on at the same time. If you look at Gallagher's play, he seems to prefer running at the defence, which provides a good foil for DG.
    I would then have Bennett and Holtby in flexible roles on the midfield flanks. I just think 4-4-2, with defensively capable wide players (unlike Armstrong!), is more sensible in a game where the opposition is likely to have a lot of possession.
    Not going to happen, of course. Just a personal fancy!

    Off-topic. So it looks like the dodgy game-show host running the USA is going to be joined, long-term, in the UK by a regular finalist in the Monty Python Upper-Class-Twit-Of-The-Year competition.
    You probably don't realise how profoundly depressing this is for the rest of the rational world.
