What a great player ,best left back in years ,who's the best you've seen. I loved Bobby Mcdonald. But Leigh is awesome real class.
Jimmy Phillips. Just a fantastic player who seems to go under the radar with us.

Yep. Very good footballer Jimmy. He played in the Prem as well when he left us.Jimmy Phillips. Just a fantastic player who seems to go under the radar with us.
I think that Bennett is a more orthodox right back ( defensively stronger, but less good at getting forward than Leigh).I'd play him ahead of Bennett every time but the general consensus is that he doesn't fit Des's system, so he'll be dropped as soon as Bennett is back.
Class player, great singing voice and perfect son-in-law material. I'd even let him carve the Sunday roast.What a great player ,best left back in years ,who's the best you've seen. I loved Bobby Mcdonald. But Leigh is awesome real class.
He's been playing well out of position thenI think that Bennett is a more orthodox right back ( defensively stronger, but less good at getting forward than Leigh).
I didn't see Saturdays game, but understand that Leigh did very well defensively, and curbed his attacking instincts.
So I would suspect that he will keep his place. I guess that it will depend though on who Des thinks will deal with the huge Peterborough threat better?
Agree with your last comment - I think Leigh has to play for physicality alone. Bennet has plenty of experience but if you’re Posh, you’d look at Mason-Clark vs Long especially, but Poku vs Bennett could also be something to exploit. Playing Leigh would persuade Posh to focus on Sam Long which should make it easier for us to control. We don’t have the pace centrally, nor a true defensive midfielder, to compensate for both fullbacks getting a roasting. Important we have at least one side that can hold its own.I think that Bennett is a more orthodox right back ( defensively stronger, but less good at getting forward than Leigh).

Murphy's been very open that he likes to play on the left, so I would be very disappointed if they moved our most in-form player, to accomadate Leigh. He's also no where near the winger that Dale is. If Leigh is to play, it should on be at the expense of Bennett, which I would be in favour of simply because of his superior pace to that of Bennett's. He didn't play at London Road (Brown played LB), so hopefully, should he play, he will cope with their wingers far in a way the Brown couldn't.As I said when the team was announced on Saturday - I still feel like our best 11 has Greg Leigh in it somewhere. And I agree against the calibre of winger P’boro have it seems entirely plausible that we need an athlete like him on the pitch.
(There’s an argument to drop Dale to the bench, move Murphy to the right and play Leigh in front of Bennett if JB is fit - harsh as that would be on Dale)

Brown pocketed poku last time everything was the other sides faultMurphy's been very open that he likes to play on the left, so I would be very disappointed if they moved our most in-form player, to accomadate Leigh.

Hmm, you say that, but Kioso had an absolute field day and all-in-all we got our a**e handed to us there, it should’ve been more than it was.Brown pocketed poku last time everything was the other sides fault
Ah, I stand corrected. Like many traumatic events, I remember little of that match, thankfully.Brown pocketed poku last time everything was the other sides fault
Maybe we play him in goal? Seems that playing him is more important than sticking to the system that has seen us develop some form and confidence.
