I commented about the Chesterfield fullback breezing past Eli on a number of occasions which in turn pulled Notts defensive players out of position. It’s like a house of cards once one player doesn’t do his job properly. Having 4 defensive liabilities really is a problem.
It’s not bonkers. Bonkers would be playing Wootton in goal or Slocombe in midfield. At no point have I suggested replacing Palmer.

In terms of Ruben, I actually think he works incredibly hard at defending from the front and he tracks back. Wootton also does more than his fair share.
