I think he mean't Leighs big wins against Championship sides.

I agree, Ryan & Reynolds certainly for Sheffield; Ridyard isn't performing as he can.

I wouldn't have Brierley at FB. Defensively he's not good enough or strong enough for the middle. That's why he goes to the edges when we're defending.

Seems Hopkins and Hock might be available for the Sheffield game too. Think Haggerty might be suspended so with Goulden back too I wonder if Sarsfield will get a chance.

Correct

Placing your 6 & 7 out wide is a defensive structure of a team or are you saying Brierley is weak defensively and he is put out wide to keep him out of the way ?

If it is the latter then no wonder he has gone missing v SL opposition and you would be better off cashing in ASAP

Personally the half backs have gone missing in the tougher games and the extra depth of someone like Ryan would have suited him and the team against quicker defences.

left and right sided halves with brierley out the back would be good to see.

As for Mcnally, as ive said hes a good lad but if he was that good he would have been snapped up by an SL club long ago

Are you sure? Ryan's not putting in half as much as riddy. There's too much pressure on riddy simply for that reason.

That why he needs a rest.

Players all develop at different rates and different environments.
Greg is one of those.
Personally I reckon he'd go okay in SL and his first year back in a full time environment is showing that.

No. Play Reynolds instead of Ryan. Rest? Don't forget they've got 2 weeks off!

I don't mean a physical rest, I mean a rest from having to organise everything.

I wouldn't change anything..Forced change fair enough,but if you have the players available with the games under their belts at this crucial point..You have to stick with them.

My opinion is we need Ryan in the side because he can score from anywhere on the pitch 'and his defence' is better than some folk think.

Our next match we need pace as I have posted before so I'd also play Sarsfield too.
