He certainly started the game at LWB as he has done most of the season.

Class header but a strange area of the pitch to find him in, you'd expect him to be delivering those crosses rather than being on the end of them. Was he playing on the right wing or something? Looks like inverted wingers.

May have taken a corner from that side prior to the build up?

I'm not sure Ryan is a PL wing back, but it would be interesting to see. Dont think Kenny could continue to overlook him if he got that move (and played regularly).


Sheffield United aren't a PL team neither

Though even if they go up can't see them throwing money at it like last time given the signings turned out to be flops bar two or three. They'll probably do a Norwich and strengthen with a view to having a good team for another promotion push if relegation happens.

Ah I think the Blades will do it LOL, 10 point lead over Boro with a game in hand and just 16 games to play. They look an experienced enough bunch to see it through. Burnley look certs also. Will be nice to see Egan and Cullen make the step up (again obviously in Egan's case). Let's hope Obafemi can make inroads in to that Burnley team also.

Definitely. 
His clubs have in the past have had to ask him to stop training so much on his own time. I'd say he takes some pleasure hammering the younger players for times during training. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

I'm no fan of Stevens, who has had an injury disrupted season and is still out afaik and I dont think Seamus is really a wing back plus it means playing our best wing back out of position. While I share some of your reservations about Mc Clean, I still think, as things stand at the moment that he will get the nod vs France, his raw passion can still be a big plus in that atmosphere.

He's still well able for the Championship.

No issue at all with him being in the squad as a wingback to be used against weaker sides, his directness is useful when we need to be on the front foot.

Absolutely would not be using him against stronger sides though, he's too wasteful on the ball and his defensive positioning is not up to scratch against superior players.

So who is your choice to play LWB then? Doherty (Coleman at RWB)? The other contenders Brady, O'Dowda and Manning all look equally if not more suspect defensively. I think he will start vs France on merit.

And in the Whoscored Championship Team of the Week this week also, along with Luke Mc Nally who seems to have started brightly at Coventry, yet another promising young centre back, what are we feeding them? (Cashin best player in L1 this season as per Whoscored, Mc Guinness had a great spell with Sheff Wed and now back at Cardiff, Jake O'Brien flying it over in Belgium). Even the likes of Mc Loughlin at Hull, who have improved a lot since he came in to the team a few weeks back and O'Connor at Lincoln seem to be having fine seasons.
