A fresh back 4 will hopefully do the trick next season.
Nyambe is good going forward but doing the basics in defence sometimes passes him by.
Rodwell looks to be gone
Mulgrew Thankyou but goodbye
Downing looks to be gone
Lenihan good but he isn't a centre back by trade.
Magloire bright future alongside someone who can defend.
Williams on the slope downwards now finds the simple things tricky.
Bell is the same as nyambe,both good to keep as back up,but the majority of goals have come from crosses not snuffed out by the full backs.
Robin - I don't agree with this idea that Lenihan isn't a centre-back. Players often start their development careers in one spot, but eventually make a career in another. I just can't see that he would be better in midfield.
I know that we've certainly missed him!
