Slade did slip it into an interview a couple of weeks back that Ben Davies brought experience, good for the group off the field and can also play in various positions including left back............until a.n other dedicated left back signs i think it will be him sitting in there.
Davies started last season very solidly, Mills couldnt get anywhere near a start until Davies picked up a knock around 12 games in and then Mills made the position his own.

Whether or not Davies can perform that well on the opposite side is another matter but as a full back he was fairly solid, it was only when he started getting asked to play wing back that he looked uncomfortable.

He also said in an interview that Dembele was a young lad and gave the impression that he will be using him as a sub mainly. Based on this I don't think he will be the definite starter that most seem to imagine.

I don't think anybody should read anything at all about formations/selections for the first few friendlies.
It will be all about giving players a run out, improving fitness levels and also trying out various positions.  If someone is a proven centre half  or right back etc it's worth having a look to see what other positions they could play in an emergency.
I don't place any stock on pre-season results good or bad.  I like to see us do well as I do believe that winning does breed confidence, but it's what happens when the season starts that counts.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Quoted from Mariner93er
People are desperate to play jones out of position aren't they. I'd imagine for tonight a youth will be in left back with Davies and mills having a half each at right back. Something like this to start:

Mckeown
Mills clarke Collins youth
       Rose   Clements
Dembele jones   kelly/Osbourne
           Vernon


Not a bad line up but would like to see Macca a little more central  ..

Agreed and was about to post something similar. The first few games are leg stretchers and not much more.

You obviously did not see Davies performance against Wycombe


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Maybe that'll be the line up when we have a direct free kick against us?
