Has Baleba ever played at Centre Half?
Is it too early to write off Cashin?
Maybe the answer is play play a back three with wing backs?
Is Veltman definitely out?

I want to say (but could be wrong) that Baleba played a bit of CB last season, not from start but when defenders went off injured. And he definitely played some LB in the pre-season.
No, I just don't think we will or should start a match unfit rookie CB at this stage of the season and imagine Hurz will share this view.

This is set up for Cashin to show us all if he is able to deal with a Championship team.
Baleba at CB feels like forcing a round peg in to a square hole, he's more effective for us in midfield.
So Dunk & Cashin at CB, but who from the u21 will be on the bench as cover for that position?
Noticed Pedro with heavily strapped leg on Saturday at Smellhurst. Obviously carrying a knock and looked very ineffective ...
Big team selection ahead as we need to continue to break hoo-doos ....

I think Wieffer has to be the plan B at centre back.
I’d rather play with 10 men than this

Tbh if Cashin cannot handle Leicester then he really is not good enough. Leicester are a Championship team.
Blimey if that's the case Plan A must be horrendous.

If we are going to drop playing direct football and revert back to the Horse Shoe passing drill model I don’t think it matters really
I had a chat with Eric . . . His old sondico gloves have perished, but he's up for it.
This. Presumably bought in Jan to provide cover and make a contribution this season. If he’s fit but not selected, someone has messed up.

It would be the club admitting in a humiliating fashion for the player they made an almighty f up if Cashin doesn’t play next week. For a lot of reasons that’s very unlikely to happen

If I see that guy lying down holding his face once more this season I’m launching my 3 years of accumulated stash of bottle tops at the directors box
Cashin will be fine for Leicester. He is used to playing Championship sides.

Is the right answer. If he can’t perform at least averagely against Leicester, at home, after being here three months, we might as well just rip up his contract.
He has to be given a go.
Then again Buonanotte often only makes the bench for Leicester
