Oh dear, there seems to be a view, as seen on 262, that Glen Rea may be out for six weeks following knee ligament injury problems.
I really hope he is back sooner than that as I just don't rate Olly Lee one bit in that holding midfield role as skilful as Lee is, he simply can't tackle.
Am I being harsh on Lee? Is he really anything like the player NJ wants to have in that role?

I really do hope he is not out for six weeks as to my mind he is so crucial to protecting that back line.
Totally agree that Olly Lee is nowhere near tough enough to make any form of success in that holding midfield role.

Saw Glen at Crawley speaking to fans. He was being fairly non comittal but was very heavily strapped up and on crutches. He wouldn't say who clobbered him!

According to NJ, Rea just suffered a simple enough collision with another player the sort of thing that happens all of the time in training.
Jones said could be out for a week or maybe several weeks but he did look a worried man when he said it.

Could give a chance to the youngters, but with a resonably small squad not the thing we want happening to a key player.
And Greenwomen doesn't NJ always look worried!

Well the preferred, at least by most fans, holding midfield player, Rea, is out so other than "silk purse from a sows ear" Olly Lee, who could NJ have patrolling in front of the back four who is both capable of making a decent tackle and then finding a team-mate with a pass? Should NJ go for Smith? Maybe as his passing has improved a lot this season and I reckon he would do a lot better job in that role than Lee who to my mind is just not suited to that holding role at all.
I suppose another option would be to be very brave and play the talented youngster Justin in that role; his tackling is crisp and he can pass the ball. Fairly versatile player capable of playing either full-back role and also midfield.
I would rule out McGeehan as I reckon he would simply go missing too often.
The most unlikely choice would be Bakinson but it's probably a touch too early to risk him.
Thoughts?
