At the moment it'd be replacing Clay. He doesn't look quite right, whether it's a niggly injury or not feeling 100% he seems to be tiring more quickly than usual and not making the same impact he did in the first game, where he was well up for it.

Wright has been our best performing CM thus far but needs someone doing the dirty work alongside him.

Never thought I’d be saying this but based on performances so far - and despite the goals he’s scored - he has to replace Wright. There is no way Clay can not start games. He is absolutely ideal in the current set up, 2 holding midfielders running their arses off and keeping it simple, letting all the flair players go and do their thing.
