I’d keep him as a backup LB. He clearly offers something different from most other players in that position, so a good bench option.Quite a few games now since JDS has been in for criticism. Should we keep him now?
Surely cost implications negate this happening in both cases ?Binks and Lati aren't good enough, so if you're going to replace them, you want to aim for better than Thomas and Kitching so they are either second choice or having to improve to earn a place in the team

One CB is realistic, but 2 is a bit optimistic. Both players are good defenders but the pace to play the high line and the ability on the ball is somewhat lacking for how we want to play.
Grimes being that 3rd CB in possession strikes me as a compensation for Thomas (in particularly) needed an easy out ball.
MVE shouldn’t escape criticism because he was rather error prone this whole tie.
Yeah but we're talking about an ideal world.Surely cost implications negate this happening in both cases ?
The good thing is we actually own our squad these days and even the fringe players would command some sort of fee. If we're smart it's going to be an exciting summer. Already bored of hearing Birmingham linked with everyone though.We’re at a stage where moving to the next level will involve hefty spend. Sunderland’s squad cost 50% more than ours. Unless we are very shrewd the players we need at CB, CM, ST are going to cost. Hopefully we can fund it with outgoings.
Agree with that but have to say I think that was down to just being knackered mentally from so many games...One CB is realistic, but 2 is a bit optimistic. Both players are good defenders but the pace to play the high line and the ability on the ball is somewhat lacking for how we want to play.

Agree with the third choice although I'd rather Binks went I think. Both still young and have improvement in them and Binks probably the better footballer, but I think Lati more of a leader that we lack and can cover other positions albeit not great at them.You want a third CB who's at the same level or better than them. Not fussed if it's Latibeaudiere or Binks that leaves to raise some funds and make space.
Lati is useful to the squad as he covers more than one position, would prefer Binks to go if it was a straight choiceAgree with the third choice although I'd rather Binks went I think. Both still young and have improvement in them and Binks probably the better footballer, but I think Lati more of a leader that we lack and can cover other positions albeit not great at them.
He was up further than our strikers last week as we had to win wasn't he?Both capable but if we want to challenge up at the top of the table consistently, they’re not the answer.
defence needs an overhaul this summer.
I like Bobby Thomas, not much ground he doesn’t cover, but when games are 0-0 and he’s further up than our strikers like last Friday just before the counter, not for me.
Kitching too, reasonable championship player but we’d be carrying him. Although I do like how he’s like a flea in the refs ear, like what most captains should be doing and maybe if he had the armband he wouldn’t get as many yellow cards for his troubles
