Quote lothlorian="lothlorian"Personally I think Mellor needs to be given a chance as I dont think Powell is due to return yet. We have time to build a partnership and allow it to gel before any potential wembley appearance so give the lad a chance and promote from within. As a second option I would prefer to see Russell brought back from Hull to play at 1 and slide Sam into the halves. IMO that will work better than SOL going to 6.'"
For me Sam has got to stay at full back. He gets more space and time there, and we've all seen what he does with it. I take your point though, it is an option. I'd want a solution that causes the least disruption to the squad. Lockers has played 6 before and he and finch already have a relationship as playmakers. Plus, Tommy's defence is going to be missed and I don't think anyone would argue with what Lockers would do in defence at 6. My first choice option, for the next couple of games at least would be to bring Mellor in and see how he goes.
