Scores a few from set pieces, but Id send him back.

His reactions looked pretty slow today, much like Milosevic, should have been a f***ing breeze for these two today. Granted they had a big unit up front, but our CBs made a very weak looking Bolton side decent.

Figueredo & Worrall next season for me.

Figueredo for me is our best CB back

I was asking because I don’t know the injury stats of every player on our books I’ll decide he’s not injury prone as he’s had a couple of injuries during his time with us & he’s only 24 and in my opinion our best CB so I don’t want to write him off just yet.

I'm not writing him off hopefully a preseason will sort him out as he missed last year's and that can have a massive effect on a player.

We just need to be careful we can't rely on too many players with poor injury history, if we use Figs, Daws and Byram as the main part of our back 3 - 5 then I worry we'll end up in the same situation we did in December - Jan this year.

We all know how numerous of our seasons have been screwed up by injuries to key players.

We have enough centre backs at the club (with the additions of Milosevic and Benalouane, and the return of Worrall) not to rely on Dawson now, and hopefully the club aren't daft enough to spend money on Byram and opts for a less broken option.

I think Figueiredo has just been a bit unlucky with injuries rather than him being a biscuit. I think a back 3 (if we stick with that formation) of Milosevic, Figueiredo and Robinson has potential to be good next season.

Getting a blood clot as a consequence of a “dead leg” was desperately unlucky.

Unless it denotes an underlying weakness I would put it down as a freak accident.

Milosevic, Worrall and Tobias are our best three CBs. I like Robinson at LB but he still needs competition. I'd sign a decent RB and have Darikwa as backup.

Pretty excited about that back 3 to be honest and Worrall can also contribute with his willingness to bring it out from the back. Toby & Robinson also like to carry the ball forward.

Whilst we need to be adaptable in formation want this formation to be our base to work on in the summer the most. Things just look right since we have played it. Seems like our players have more options. Compare it when we tried 4-3-3 and our midfielders couldn't quite pick up the right positions.

4-2-3-1 worked to a certain degree we can't seem to find that balance between.all round defence (including set-pieces) and attack.

The diamond (if we chasing games) or 4-2-3-1 is probably the alternative.

Robinson is a decent left back, but I do like him on the left side of a back three. I'm sure he will find himself playing both positions over the course of the season though.

It will be interesting to see what Worrall can bring to the mix when he comes back, I do rate him and I am looking forward to him returning to us as a better player after his spell at Rangers.

With the above mentioned four, plus Benalouane and Dawson, we have a good set of options at centre half for next season IMO.

I agree, I think MON has discovered the best formation to suit the personnel we have at the club in the closing stages of the season. I hope we build on this over the summer, with the right additions I think we can be really effective playing this way next season.

I think we should really give Worrall the chance to start next season. Home grown, full season in Scotland under his belt. Chance to prove himself.

I’d see if we could ship Benalouane or hefele out. I think between worral Toby milosovic Robinson we have enough. Dawson play the odd game before coaching role somewhere in the club

Depends what happens this summer, some may stay some may leave we won't know tbh (some probably should go we have too many) .

Hopefully Figs is over his concerns and this conversation and point is moot.

Yaeh, looking forward to seeing how this year has bought Worrall on. Should definitely be in the squad next year.

If we are playing 3 at the back we'd ideally need 5 players who we can play there (due to the inevitable injuries and suspensions we'll pick up over the course of a season). Given that Dawson is unlikely to play much next season (if at all), I'd keep Benalouane around as I think he decent enough as cover/competition.

Hefele is crap and definitely one we should try and move on though.

Wague has grown on me. Milo, Wague, Benny and Figs are all absolutely quality options at this level.

Jury is still out on Worral. He was always quite shakey when i saw him play for rangers.
