I don't think that's such a bad thing. We've got a good one in George Smith, Johnson just has to play him. Supposedly this Templeton is a good prospect too, so when we rest Smith we should play him. I don't think it's such a problem position, we've just got to trust the players we've got and only play Nyatanga at centre half.
Played there at times for the under-21s. From his brief cameo in the cup, he looked more like a winger. Short and quick.
Nyatanga is a CH and one of my favourite players. Tough call to leave one of the other two out after the start they've made - not a call I'd like to make.
It all comes down to Lee Johnson & his bravery. Is he brave enough to drop one of Roberts, Mawson & Nyatanga or continue to take the easy way out & leave the young academy lad out? For me he's got to play Smith & drop Nyatanga. Let's be honest if Nyatanga was such a key part of the team & his experience was needed then his mate wouldn't have given the captaincy to a 21 year old newbie
Yep and I've got to say from what I've seen, he's good enough and will be very good backup to George Smith.
And it will cost us I can see this turning into a Wiseman-esque episode where the manager is desperately trying to prove a point and ignoring the obvious and ultimately pays the price.
