If no sinnott I'd play David Brown at rb.
... assuming he's registered with the league, which I don't know, it's certainly worth considering.

He was at start of season, so I'm assuming he still is.

Sinnott moult and clee are all midfielders and Heathcote is inexperienced we basically started a season with 5 defenders and s lad from the youth team,I did say this in August

We started 2014/2015 with Densmore, Havern, Leather, Marshall, Griffin and Williams. Effectively five then considering Williams' retirement, five in 2015/2016. The difference this season has been the unfortunate injuries. We don't have the purchasing power to run a squad that includes more defenders. Cover at full-back has been a neglected luxury for as long as I can remember supporting us.
last season we were incredibly lucky with injuries and yes we don't have the purchasing powers but still we managed to have 5 central midfield players

Because central midfield players are naturally more versatile and can cover a lot of different positions if needs be. The same can't be said about defenders, for the most part. The squad Lee put together made sense to me, the way he's dealt with losing members of the squad is questionable though. That's something I've openly criticised on here.

They seemed to be quite happy stood in the rain for 120+1 minutes the last time at Moss Lane.  And in numbers too!

They will have about 100 so it might not need segregation

It's not their job to be 'good' there though is it? They just need to be capable of filling in and keeping their head down, something Sinnott Jr. has done fairly well this season to his credit. It's not ideal but it's necessary when competing at this level. Better players means bigger wages, which in turn means we can't fill out the squad with bodies to cover every position. The money is spent on the quality needed to compete.

I'm talking about the odd injury there though, this season we've had a crisis beyond anything most of us could have expected... and I think we left it a bit late in terms of freshening the squad up.

Sinnott is equally poor as a full back as he is in midfield

He looked like Cafu in his absence on Tuesday night.

I think he's been alright at right back personally. He's gone relatively unnoticed, which isn't a bad thing.

I think Sinnott has done really well.
We certainly missed him on Tuesday.
I have got him in my top three for player of the season.
But what do I know!!!
