    O'Donnell has played at left back a number of times and is a natural full back. If you are making someone switch it's far better to switch someone like that than stick Grimmy there. Positioning is half the battle and if you normally play full back it comes naturally.

    I have zero confidence in Lamie at left back after the Livi game. He was a mile out for most of it, 100% to blame for the 1st goal and played a big part in losing the second. Any time Livi attacked down the right wing he was caught out. (I don't blame him for not being very good, as it's not really his position).

    The irony is we had Carroll, Dunne, McGinley and even Donnelly that can play left back and only Grimmy on the right - and we are struggling to fill the LB slot.

    I'd be delighted if Lamie's performance was just a temporary blip and he plays a blinder there in the future with O'Donnell at RB, but I'll need convincing.

    A number of times? That many that he cannae remember...

    O'Donnell was in the papers yesterday saying he's played at left back before and happy to play there again.

    If it's a choice between Grimmy at RB and O'Donnell at LB vs. O'Donnell at RB and Lamie at LB I'll take the former.  It's far from ideal, but Lamie was a liability on Wednesday and his ridiculous handball changed the momentum of the first half just as we were starting to make some progress. 

    With 5 subs, it's easy enough to switch to the other option if it's not working out.

    Mugabe is a bombs scare, Gallagher not up to speed playing with him, don't shoot Grimmy the manager plays him in preference to others especially last season although think he really needs to concentrate on defending rather than going on mazy runs

    Mugabi defended pretty well the other night, his distribution isn't great...Grimmy is howling

    That's the managers job got to play players he can trust ,yes the injury list hasn't helped but playing people out of position hasn't helped so as I see it the only thing he can do is give youth it's chance . Now I haven't seen Devine or Hussain play but now is as good a time as any to see what they can do let's face it they can't be any worse than Mugabe and Grimmy . I would probably go for 3-5-2 on Saturday

                                                                          Devine.                       Gallagher ( if fit)                 Hussain 

                                                O'Donnell            Campbell         Turnbull        Ohara           Hylton 

                                                                                               Watt.                  Lang

    Until the injuries sort themselves out I would play a back four of O'Donnell, Gallagher, Mugabi and Lamie.

    Agree with that...lamie isn't great there but he is the best option...SOD is a better right back than Grimshaw...Gallacher is our best centre back and Mugabe looked reasonably solid the other night

    Who knows but some outgoings wouldn’t be a surprise. 
     

    One thing I like about O’Donnell is that he’s a leader and does a lot of talking on the pitch, we seem to be badly needing that. 

    I think that's a certainty once the lower leagues get up and running

    Seriously? Sorry mate can’t agree at all on that one. He’s played in 2 games and been shite in both.

    He’s absolutely crap and so out of his depth it’s embarrassing. Grimshaw is another who should be replaced. Both are total dug shite.
