I'd rather play Perch and Simpson than risk Colo getting injured for longer, just not worth the risk unless he's 100%. We've already lost Saylor long term, we can't afford to lose Colo long term too.
I know it sounds fucking ridiculous, infact is ridiculous, but the thought of starting with Simpson and Perch at the back even against Norwich fills me with dread.
Alan Smith at centre half? Obviously a disaster waiting to happen but possibly some leadership and authority at the back? Also am I right in thinking Gosling can play there? Seen a few people on FB saying he can?!!?
