Id still bring in a centre half in the summer who will compete with Kitching and Thomas to start, then Latibeaudiere as cover.
Didn't look like a red card yesterday? Thomas was covering.

Totally agree, Matt. I really like Kitchin and Thomas. Think they will be a great pairing for us. I wonder what the scope is for getting McNally back? Didn't pull up any trees at Stoke, but he seemed to really settle in here.We will bring in another CB (maybe 2) in the summer but it won't be to 'replace' but to add and increase competition.
Kitching is a good player, he is going through a tricky patch but that's all it is, he'll come through it. His performances during this time have generally been fine but has let himself down with rash/bad decisions. With a calmer head and more maturity, those will be coached out of him.
Next year, Thomas and Kitching will be a brick wall.
This. I think in the PL thats a yellow because of Thomas covering.
We ask a lot more of our centre halves this year compared to last year. I don’t think McNally would look as good in this system.Totally agree, Matt. I really like Kitchin and Thomas.

We need defenders who can pass the ball forward, which is why I would prefer Binks playing, notice the difference at Wembley and then when he came off against Hull.
Is 3 games so probably rightWhat was his ban? 1 for a professional foul + 2 for his 3rd red?? So 3 games and thus misses the opener next season?
Always been the case. Tom Davies was suspended after we got promoted from League 2 for the opening League 1 gameI didn't realise bans carried over to another season. Surely that wants binning.off if true
That sounds far too complex for this forum to understand, please stick to surface level reactionary takes only. Thanks.I might be wrong here, but it feels as though our build-up play this season has been a completely different approach from last year - i.e. playing it out from the back to feet. And so, the defence is clearly going to be under more pressure, and more mistakes are going to happen. It has felt at times as though the problem is players not making themselves available for the ball in midfield, or at least pulling opposition players away to allow the CB's to carry the ball forwards. I also think if you want your CB's striding forward, then you need players at DM who can effectively cover if we lose the ball.

We’ve played out from the back for a while. But having Sheaf and Hamer meant we could play the ball especially to Hamer under pressure and he could get us forward or beat the press with a pass. We’ve lost that close control and passing range with Eccles this season for all his other traits.
Yeah I thought Thomas was on the cover but he's actually behind Gallagher and Kitching, Gallagher would have definitely have got a shot off, and therefore a goalscoring opportunity. Also had Thomas got across Gallagher would have rolled it to Szmodics for a free shot at goal.I thought it was a red straight away TBH. Player would have got a shot off before Thomas got over and if Thomas had gone over he’d have left a man free to a chance anyway so goal scoring opportunity IMO.
Classy centre half who’s just had a poor run of form. Liked him immediately. He will be a key player next season
Yeah he was there, he was wearing shortsDid anyone spot Kitching for the lap of appreciation? I didn't. Saw most the other squad, including those injured.
We used to do it at St Andrew's, so a long time.We’ve played out from the back for a while.

Binks actually passes to the player or just ahead of him, not yards behind sending us backwards - again.
In SBS?Apparently got in an argument with SBS and got sent back to the dressing room. I hope he sorts his head out over the summer as there's deffo a player in there.

Binks is better tha nKitching, i have said that all season, but he is raw. We need experience at the back, at minimum we need a 27/28 year old big bastard hard nut who is vocal and a leader as first choice CB, ideally who can play either side.I’d definately keep Binks if the price is right. Think there’s potential there.
I didnt. But tbh i was focussing on Kelly and Godden mainly as i love themDid anyone spot Kitching for the lap of appreciation? I didn't. Saw most the other squad, including those injured.
Torp has the ability to do that hamer role.We’ve played out from the back for a while.
