The Don (DoNacien not DoMacien) was bought on the strength of a title winning campaign at left back. Irregardless of where he wants to play he did well there and should stick to it. Match fitness dhould be there or thereabouts now so he just needs a cuddle pre match

Johnson - offensively he's decent, and gets good overlaps in with Clark. Doesnt always receive from him but opens up the space for Clark to go into. What does for him here, a little, is that Clark's delivery hasnt been the best this season and if defended leaves an instant hole down the right side. Defensively you can see that hes the product of an academy. Technically good with great feet, however, he doesnt often get a foot in quick enough. I think he's waiting for a technically astute midfield to help him out, which doesnt come quick enough. Before he's got the foot in he has either lost the cross or backed himself into the box.

Biggest problem is number 1. I wont say that Maxted is a good shot stopper as that should be a given, but the first 80%of Ripleys reign is what we need. Calm and assured, always an outlet, and good vocal command of the backline.

I dont often advocate the spending of money at our club, particularly on transfer fees, but this is where we could do with spending some.
