Harris is considering starting on loan player Filip Benković from Leicester City away at Coventry City this Wednesday, its been 5 weeks since we signed Benkoovic and he is yet to start. Not injured just was not fully match fit.

He played little or no football so needed to get up his fitness levels,but 5 weeks seems long,lets hope he is given a chance Wednesday,perhaps get bacuna back in midfield.some pisters have said he was injured when he signed annis,havent tead snything slong those lines.

Brendan said he had a good pre season...and he went on the bench here 2 days after signing which suggests people got their wires crossed and the injury happened here..and whatever has kept him side lined happened after his arrival..

Great news if true. Time to make it a little uncomfortable for those who perhaps have been a little too comfortable if you know what I mean.

We need a change,perhaps if benkovic plays,bacuna can go back in midfield? As benkovic is obviously schooled in defence,perhaps he could stand in as right back?

Why would you play arguably the best centre back at the club on reputation out of position?

Benkovic is a £15mill International centre back Play him in his true
position and drop Nelson who is a liability

Sorry to say, but our captain is the liability.

Morrison looked as if he was struggling with injury so maybe Harris’ hand will be dealt for him.

It was a suggestion,as per the ? After the comment. And we have yet to see how good he will be for us,I think he is a fantastic addition.it wouldn't be the first player to be played out of position at this or many other clubs,my suggestion was he is primarily a cb,but may be able to switch? As he is a defender,whilst bacuna certainly isn't. :old: :bluebird:
