Yeah, wrap him in cotton wool and slowly build him back up to full match fitness, we don't need to be risking him at this stage of the season. Hopefully he goes the rest of the season without any issues and providing he's still here which I think he will be, get him a full pre season and see how he goes from there. He's missed over 80 games for us now so injuries are an concern and he needs treated as such.

I don't think he'll go the extreme of all four starting but I can see O'Brien being punted to RB with Branthwaite and Tarkowski in the middle and Keane on the bench, or Keane starting and Branthwaite coming on after an hour or so, I don't think he'll be fit to play 90 and I couldn't handle the stress of him getting injured again.
Throw back to Ancelotti playing Holgate Keane Mina and Godfrey as a back 4

Guess if he did that he would play Branthwaite at left back, would still actually improve that left hand side


But he’s the best centre back we’ve got, surely he’s got to play at centre back as first choice

I am absolutely terrified about who the back 4 will be on Saturday.

Keane starts for sure, will be hooked at half time for Jarred.

No reason in my mind why he shouldn’t start Patto at RB, he’s had two steady performances now and growing in confidence.

Think he will be eased back in .
Patto Jake Tarks Mykolenko ( both Jarrad and Keane on the bench), probably Aznou out the squad ...

I’m sure Moyes will stick with the same back four, Keane and Brainthwaite on the bench.

He comes in at left back or we keep the back three.

You don’t keep someone this good on the bench.
