Absoloutely on the defence, while I’ve been impressed with Nkounkou in every game he’s played in, he’s still inexperienced and if we have to make do with a makeshift right back, then we’re left in a position where we can be targeted down both flanks with Newcastle hoping to exploit the inexperience on either side as a result, especially if Godfrey is selected to play right back.
