Why would Manga play at right back when there's 2 proper right backs on the bench?

I doubt Peltier is 100 percent fit due to not being involved last night and I'd pick Manga over Richards for our first game because
A) Better defensively
B) aerial threat & cover
C) did well there last night
I take your point though and I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if a fully fit Peltier or Richards got the nod

Looks a good team selection to me. The only thing I'd change is Richards at RB in place of Manga to provide more width from an attacking perspective.
Despite being away from home, I think the introduction of not one, but two holding midfielders in modern day football has placed less emphasis on defensive minded full backs. This generally invites more crosses from opposition wingers, so the tactic relies heavily on our centre backs having ariel prowess, something we have in abundance with Bamba, Morrison, Manga and Connolly.

With Connolly, Peltier, Halford, Damour and Harris all not 100%, I feel this is the best team we can field. Richards just has a bit of tightness in his leg, so he should be fit for next Saturday. If neither Richards, Peltier or Connolly are fit for Saturday, I would have no concerns throwing in Cameron Coxe at right back though. I don't think he would look out of place at all.
