    Agree but those difficult decisions have to be made if it benefits the team. I didn't watch the game so will watch the full match replay when available. I just assume that teams will have recognised by now if they let ogbeta have the ball and focus on stopping the middle and having 3/4 men around phillips and Vickers this will make us look a lot less dangerous.

    By encouraging Ogbeta to get more forward you're creating a bigger gap for our centre backs to cover when none of them can run anyway.

    He was still on the pitch when Plymouth scored

    As Menai has said above, Plymouth scored when he was on the field. The defence got better when he was sent off and the 10 men kept a clean sheet.

    You build your team around your best player and play to his strengths. Maybe DKD and McG can work together. I don’t see it so far

    I don't think the centre of defense got any better though, it was the full backs that massively improved when the two liabilities were moved inside and as Plymouth's attack was based on going wide then crossing in it suited us perfectly because the two new full backs were better at stopping that.

    In my opinion of course

    Yes, you are of course absolutely correct. And we did defend spectacularly well at Plymouth, mostly out of necessity. And because we had no immediate need to attack them and score any more goals, we could afford to pack the defence with bodies.

    I still think that we are a much better defensive unit with Shepherd than without, but I completely understand that others, you included, may disagree with me on that point!

    Absolutely spot on again as I saw it
