I thought Gillespie played quite well behind the two strikers yesterday, a point that Lawrence alluded to on Radio Robins. If LS is thinking of playing somebody there (as he has done with James Lawrie) then that could fit Gillespie nicely.

As an aside, I agree with moving Leather to CB. I do think that Sinnott has had his hands tied with that though.

Tom Marshall is a better CB than Simon Richman/Jake Moult is a RB. So whilst it isn't ideal to play Scott at RB it is more or less the only option I think.
When densmore got injured we shouldev either get a loan player in or risk david brown I don't know how good he is but playing leather at right back weakens us in 2 positions not 1

Scott Leather needs to be put back in at centre half. Marshall has done ok, but leather is better. Simple.

And what about Luca? It would be unpopular on here, but for me I'd play Marshall and Leather, dropping Havern. He hasn't yet stepped up to the level we know he can play, while Marshall has and looks like what he is,a Conference National experienced centre half.

After getting 45 minutes yesterday, I would think Densmore would start next week. Reason Leather has been playing right back is our other natural right back is far too important to move out of central midfield, Cavannagh.
Agree Luca hasn't stepped up disagree about Marshall not good enough

Luca will step up when he has a decent centre half next him like Leather.  I'd be nervous playing with Marshall. It's just mad that it is even a debate, those two together were awesome. I appreciate it's a massive step up but FFS get them back together and go from there Lee! We need another centre back, quick winger and forward to give us a chance.

Also if Marshall was proven at this level then he wouldn't have dropped down a league last season, he would have been kept on! Simply ain't good enough like some others.  I know I sound harsh but we are struggling big time!
