Given

Lichaj - Vlaar - Clark - Warnock

Nzog - Ireland - KEA - Herd

Bent - Weiman

Bit controversial - but warnocks experience earns him a repreive in the absence of a new signings. A defence with 3 rookies is asking for trouble.

Out of our sparse resources this gives us our most solid feel - IMO of course.

Hopefully we'll sign a new left-back. Even if we don't, Warnock should definitely not be in the starting 11. Experience doesn't mean anything when you're as shit as he is.

I know - Hobsons choice ain't it ?

But who would you play there ? - Lichaj ? - with Lowton at RB ? - that's only senior player in the whole defence ?

Senior schmenior, Warnock is dogshit. I'd rather gamble on Lowton being slightly less dogshit.

I'd buy a new LB.

If not, I don't think it's a massive issue. There's a fair bit of experience in that defence, just not PL experience. Lichaj has got a bit of experience, Lowton has played a lot (admittedly in lower tiers), Clark was used extensively last season and Vlaar is a Dutch international. It's lacking PL experience but we're talking about Warnock here. The defence would be a lot better off without him in it.

PL experience is vastly overrated IMO anyway.

Given

Lowton Vlaar Clark Lichaj

Bannan El Ahmadi

N'Zogbia Ireland Holman

Bent

swapping Bannan with Delph or Herd for 'tougher opponents' and swapping whoever plays worse from Holman, Ireland, Zog for Gabby when fit against 'wekaer' sides

Clark is not going to be used as a CM this season unless we're completely injury ravaged. By the looks of it, PL has identified him as a CB.

Starting line-up against West Ham (considering current injuries and knocks)

.............Given

Lichaj.Vlaar.Clark.Stevens (unless we sign a new LB)

........Delph.KEA

N'Zogbia.Ireland.Holmann

.............Bent

Three behind Bent to rotate and support midfield and attack.

If Lowton is fit, switch Lichaj to LB and put Lowton RB.
