Been caught time & again playing out at the back - accident prone - would only play him there if no other option available.

For me, I want Pring at LB, therefore Naismith is the best option to play LCB.

[Searles]

Would like to see him bring in Naismith and Scott, with King and Weimann dropping out. King was excellent mid week but how many times have we seen someone struggle to do it twice in a week, especially at his age.

I think Nige will go unachanged though.

I agree with you that Pring is a way better option than JD at LB, but also agree than Naismith can be a liability played at CB, does better playing defensive midfield - tricky call.

[RedEyez]

Would like to see some balance in the side today 

                  OLeary

Tanner Vyner Naismith Pring

               King James

                    Scott

         Sykes Wells Mehmeti

[Big C]

Williams back on the bench 

[petehinton]

What a team and subs bench that is. 
 

JD dropped despite playing very well, I think that answers any Qs about him being here next season. Forward planning. 

[Northern Red]

Also suggests that if Nige was pissed off with Scott and Conway the other night, he's gotten over it.

Very likely. However an aerial bombardment aimed at JD would of been highly probable

Strongest bench this season.

Pearson strikes me as the kind of person who’d just have a direct conversation with a player and see how they responded rather than let something stew.

He wants to see how they respond to the criticism.

Probably offered to wash his car and do a few jobs around the house...

[ExiledAjax]

Are we now just a Kalas away from a fully fit squad? Or have I forgotten someone bleedingly obvious?

Ah Wilson I suppose.

He strikes me as someone who gives a grilling, then the next day it’s over with and forgotten and everyone can move on. The way it should be.

Not just that. But on the front of the match day programme.

[Davefevs]

Happy with the line-up.  Then again, I usually am!!

[HOZDA]

Excited with this team. Really strong bench with plenty of versatility. Glad Pring is back at LB. Plenty of pace and movement up top with James/King to provide cover, tenacity and control. 

Hopeful for 3pts - COYR

Glad to see Naismith back and Pring at left back. Especially glad that Scott is starting, he is a joy to watch.

[italian dave]

There’s a depressingly positive and optimistic reaction to that team. Never ends well when OTIB starts that positive

[Baldyman]

Well Nige is in a great motivational mood today ! Radio Bris : “ so Nigel , talk me through why those 3 changes have been made “. NP : “Because I felt like making them “.  Done so much good this season but I can’t stand this side of him .
