Griffiths; Imray, Campbell, Phillips, Styles; Mowatt, Molumby; MJ, Price, JJA; Heggebo

Why keep picking an injured player Campbell will not play. Out for at least 3 weeks according to reports. So as much as we loath it Mepham will probably play.

I’ll add to that, GC hasn’t played CB for us, unless I’ve missed it? He’s also dog shit.

I didn't realise the extent of his injury. In which case you can swap him out for Mepham in the team I've picked.

You must have high standards, he's been the standout of our defensive recruits this season. Overall, one of a very small group of players who stand to come out of this season in credit for their performances.

For some reason greets totally dislikes Campbell I’m with you wish he was fit as I agree one of our better performers this season, mind you that benchmark is low.
It's hard to pick a back 4 tomorrow, without him, that doesn't look set for a bollocking.

Well one thing you definitely missed was Campbell playing at centre half alongside Phillips at the start of the season.

More than decent. In fact our defensive decline started when he was shunted out to RB and Mepham bought in. Campbell is a good centre half imo.

He played centre back away at Derby and was superb. He is indeed injured though.
