Would guess at Dion Kelly-Evans perhaps, though probably move Ricketts over and bring Martin in.
That leaves us with no cover whatsoever in the centre of defence though does it. :facepalm:
This squad is incredibly thin. We are already scratching our heads as to how we can possibly cover things and we are only 5 games into the season.
How many squads will carry 3 right backs?
Centre of defence I am talking about. If Martin plays we have no cover.
But we have 7 defenders in the squad with first team experience few have more than that.
Ricketts
Reda
Martin
Haynes
Stokes
Phillips
Who else?
Willis - also vincelote can play right back.

He has said we are going defensive too?
Ricketts, Martin, Reda, Stokes
Right decision. Burton are quite physical with some big tall players.
Phillips isn't good enough defensively. Everyone was clamouring for him to start because Willis doesn't offer enough going forwards but he's a better rb than Phillips.
Morris can play CB as well remember, and Harries is an option if we're down to it.
We've got quite a flexible squad to be fair.
I'd be surprised if Phillips is not in the 18.......unless he is injured or something has happened inside the camp
Could be a compete load of bollocks of course and he starts right back not ruling that out either......is the Dave Phillips
account genuine ......seems a very odd thing to do??
Coventry City squad 'perilously close to bare bones' admits Tony Mowbray?
I know that Shmeee, but did TM not say;
Coventry City squad 'perilously close to bare bones' admits Tony Mowbray?
Pretty sure he did. in fact, I know he did.
Only takes a couple more injuries in key areas and we may have real problems. We are also only 5 games in. For a manager to say we are close to the bare bones right at the start of the season does not bode well.
Given that we are down to "bare bones" do you not think Phillips would at least be on the bench though?
Something must have happened inside the camp for him not to make the 18??? Could it just be Dave sulking he is not in start xi?
Also talk of being wafer thin and down to bare bones is also ludicrous league one squads do not have 40 man squads how many more times!!!
Our squad is quite healthy and we have options all over the park for all positions and a variety of possible formations. Think TM has shaped squad
very well to get to this position!
I quite like Aaron Phillips but not entirely sure where his best position is......I would have liked to have seen him given a run in the team with Willis out injured
Maybe TM sees more at right back on one of the Evans boys......we will see today I suppose when teams line up.
Facebook Plonker said:If this is true then Mowbray is clueless no wonder Mowbray can't attract many players to the club what a joke
Yes it sounds like a tactical decision to make us more secure in an away game. Probably be Ricketts at RB with Martin in the centre
