I think Artell has to take a lot of blame for this, I can completely see why he'd want to get Ray back in the side against a team that are strong on set pieces as well as keep the height of NG and Hunt, but Pickering has been solid all season and most importantly , not been giving away free kicks. All you're ever going to do with a natural right footer at left back is put yourself under pressure and give away cheap fouls.
