Mousinho can’t play in a back four. His legs have gone too much for that to be an option. He says that himself - not my opinion, his opinion. That’s why we went to a back three, so he could sit in the middle, and even then he couldn’t play twice a week and needed extra recovery time. He is 36 and stopped playing regularly nearly three years ago. He can’t get his conditioning back at this point.If I were to combine form with the need to shake things up, I'd personally play the following
McGinty
Anderson Mousinho Moore Brown
Jones McGuane Brannagan Henry
Browne
Taylor
I love the guy and the fact that he came in for a few games and won player of the month is simultaneously a credit to him as well as a damning indictment of his team mates and their own performance levels, but he physically cannot play regular professional football anymore. Especially in a four.
That he has played a handful of games and looked our best defender is such a dreadful reflection of where we find ourselves. The squad is in bits.
