Olsson should start, he was excellent in the cup game.

I fear that Seb will start, although imo he is not ready. Having seen him in his U21 performances and the Bury game,, he appears to be carrying a permanent injury and probably needs a few more weeks to repair, he is not the player we saw before he got injured last season.  He may be our Ledley King.

 

However, if Seb plays then who drops out?  Again imo Russ Martin should be kept in the side for his leadership skills and ability to read a game, however this would mean dropping Turner of Whitts, which I suspect CH won''t do. 

 

Whitts has scored a couple of goals, but a RB is there primarily to defend and RM is by far the better defender, if we select a RB purely on his scoring ability what are we saying about our midfield and strikers??

 

Thoughts please.
