I doubt we have signed a France international to warm the bench, so if we play 3 at the back its probably going to be Dann/Tomkins/Sakho. I just feel that Damo brings some intangibles and makes us better back there. He had a couple of ugly hacks last night but he is immense with getting his head on stuff and clearing it. Maybe Sakho can do that and do better than Damo in the other areas but I just would like to see Delaney out there. I think Ward is a terrible wing back so how about Delaney flying down the right wing?!!?
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Did have a couple of hairy moments last night. I imagine Sakho will overtake him within a couple of weeks but with Dann and Tomkins' injury records, I'm sure Delaney will have a part to play throughout the rest of the season.

I still rate Delaney ahead of Tomkins but I can't see any other back three other than: Sakho - Dann - Tomkins. Tomkins and Sakho are well suited for the right and left sided CB's roles respectively, Dann is the captain, decent on the ball, good passer but slower than JT and MS so should be the central one of the three. But bear in mind that Sakho hasn't played at all this season, so he may be a touch off proper match fitness and probably will be rusty for the first few games he plays.

Damo's time is nigh, he might have one more season with us but if so, as back up. It will be a sad day for me when he finally hangs up his boots. That day at Wembley, I remember feeling sorry for him, a player who had been instrumental in getting us promoted enjoying the moment but knowing he would be surplus to requirements. I could not have been more wrong, he has been immense for us, both as a player and for what he brings to squad. A real warrior. I am sure he will still have a role to play before the sun finally sets on his Palace career
