If Edwards is out, you can stick Butcher, Connolly or Reynolds in there throughout the season. But I feel we need to try and stay close to the Smith/Neilson on the right with Edwards central and Mulgrew left.

Even if Mulgrew was out, why not stick. Neilson on the right, Edwards central and K Smith on the left?? Reynolds showed last night he isnt good enough on the deck consistently enough to have an impact on this team (he did, however, play some nice passes last night that led to goals). That is not to say I dont rate him as a centre back, I do. But in this system you need ball players either side of a monster in the back 3.
agree to most of that but thought reynolds passing was good at times. However i feel he is not a first choice anymore. Maybe he will go to cove in january once connolly is back.
