If Diaby is playing for a contract and we know that Sepp is highly unlikely to be here next season, I’d play him. Not sure he’s particularly suited to the CCB role.
Cunningham couldn’t move towards the end on Friday and again, if Earl is playing for something (albeit he’s not a wing back) I’d give him more minutes.

Don't think Cunningham is gonna be fit to start judging by what Friday took out of him, I'd expect Earl back in.

I must admit I've thought this.
Harsh on VDB though but if he isn't here next season we need to have a look at different options.

Possibly, but I hope not.
Then again, Lindsay played last time against Fulham and did okay, iirc?

Which is the root of the defensive issue. Our best left sided centre half is also our best left back and our best left wing back - and our right hand side is the same.Would he go Lindsay and Hughes if Cunningham isn’t ready?

Probably. But it seemed worth mentioning, he's put Lindsay at LCB before, and Greg might well be knackered still.

Lindsay didn't return to the 18 after his latest suspension expired.Would he go Lindsay and Hughes if Cunningham isn’t ready?
Hopefully that sensible policy continues.

just confirming I would play Browne if he was fit but I dont expect him to be.... he had a similar injury @ Derby and Friday might have made it worse.Iverson

Can see no point starting Ched because of all the running we will have to do off the ball and who knows the thinking on maguire....
IF RL doesnt expect us to get any chances we might as well play him in the 10 !!!
I'd quite like to see Diaby get a chance to play at the right of the defence alongside Bauer. That is obviously going to be his best position though van den Berg played well on Friday. With any luck Riis might be fit to start. If Murphy is playing for the chance of a contract then I don't see he has made a case for himself so far though I have a sneak feeling he might be more effective on the left than on the right.
Now what was the team on that day we left Fulham having deflated their hopes of winning the division title even if they had already been promoted - can't remember exactly even though I was there maybe:
Kelly
Ross, Hawkins, Bird/Spark(?), McNab
Lyall, Spavin, Heppolette
Ham, Ingram, Clark
Ingram wasn't the most clinical of finishers but he had a disruptive effect that created opportunities for others - Archer might have benefitted.

I just don't see what people see in Murphy.
He has the heart the size of a pea in an attacking sense, scared alá Earl to take his man on. Potts all day at RWB.
