Francis at CB

[TJC]

Agreed with Francis retaining CB position, but would also stick with Herd who I thought was superb -MoM for me.
Barrett may have to sit the next one out, but can play at RB can't he?

Would be in shock and awe, if Francis was not returned to RB and Clarke and Barrett back in centre.

For my money, I would play Herd, but leave him out of the Chelsea clash as we want him to be a best kept secret. Looks to be an outstanding prospect and we don't want big clubs sniffing around, yet.

The back four was solid yesterday and much better than I feared but to be fair, Northampton didn't pose much threat. They looked a poor team to me. Akinfenwa and Constantine are just two big lumps with little pace between them. I thought Sankofa and Herd played well and I'd like to see both of them start tomorrow but I'm not convinced by Francis at centre back, I'm not sure if he's tough enough or has the concentration. Still, you don't change a winning team and if Tilson does stick with that 4 it will be interesting to see how they do against MK Dons who will probably be a much bigger attacking force than Northampton were.
