Put Amankwaah at right back then, he's been decent there, certainly got better than when he first joined.
That's the first thing we should try and hopefully we will this week, I just have my doubts that Greer and Morrison will be a partnership that is as solid as Wilson is looking for as I just think they are too similar, but again only time will tell. |

Greer really picked the defense up when he joined last year, we became more solid and results show that. I think the problem was in midfield.
I'd be happy with either Ifil or Morrison starting alongside Greer because both have performed just as well since Greer joining. If Wilson thinks we've got adequate options at the back and Ifil is surplus to requirements then I'd rather we did find him another club and free up some budget.
What if this trial was for a loan move? The Dons have no money to buy players and Ifil is under contract. Maybe the issue is with wages. Worst comes to worst you put in a clause where he can be recalled.

** and Jamie Vincent came back from injury. I cant believe that we are willing to trim our squad even further when Wilson has spent weeks talking about bringing in more players. How many fit centre backs have we got 3? |

Cuthbert
Lescinel
Greer
Ifil
Morrison
We may be getting rid of Ifil to bring in someone else (a CB). Anyone think of that?
If we'd won 5-0 I'm not sure the reaction to this news would have been the same. That's not aimed at anyone in particular, but on the whole Ifil wasn't given good reviews last year and a lot of people were writing him off.

Cuthberts played right back and Lescinel left back.
Anyway, my take on this is Wilson has been told before he can bring in a striker on a permenant contract he needs to get rid of someone. One in One out.

If we've blown our wage bill with the current squad then I'd be mortified tbh and some serious questions would need to be asked. I can't imagine that with the sale of Cox and the number of players we released in the summer that we are already maxed out. |

If that is the case then we are in big trouble 13 out plus Cox and probably Ifil plus Cox Money, if Ifil is going before we can sign anyone else then we may need to re think how this season is going to pan out. |

look at the goals conceeded on saturday.none of them are due to lack of pace on our part.all of them are due to poor positioning and losing markers.

It wasn't just the goals though, if you were there (I'm assuming you weren't but sorry if you were) we were roasted alive for pace time and time again at the back. |

Both our likely normal 1st choice fullbacks have pace. A well organised back line far outweighs the need for pace and if we hang on to a player because he was a bit quick a couple of years ago, then we really are plucking at straws. I would imagine Cuthbert will fill the 2nd centre half spot, especially as Wilson still wanted a full back.
Christ, we want to keep a player who has been shit at League 1 level for over a year, yet get all precious about the prospect of signing a forward (when we only have 1) who has a proven record at this level and was still doing ok in the Championship (not great, but ok).
