Can he play left wing when he gets back?

Your poem doesn't rhyme.

I know , got the sack from Hallmark for not rhyming
But it often scanned and always had good timing
do I miss it no ,not too much
doing a job thats much more butch
they worked us too hard treated us like coolies
but losing it then was a kick in the goolies

He would be better in Harry's position, or maybe cover the place vacated by Kevin Macdonald.......get the drift?

The reason Brayford is currently injured is because NC decided to put him at CH and force him to try and win headers against blokes twice his size, it knackered his knees and we nearly ruined our record signing. Its pretty simple to me, put Freeman left back, put Brayford RB, give him the arm band and climb out of this league

Brayford's injury happened just after there was a misunderstanding between Harris and Howard which gifted a chance for a Swindon player and Brayford's block caused him to bang his knee awkwardly against the Swindon player. He had a lengthy treatment and after that I was surprised to see him stay on the pitch until half time

Disagree with this. The reason Brayford was injured was because he had to make a desperate lunging last gasp challenge to prevent Swindon getting in on goal after a McEveley rick and he did his knee when the opposing player landed on it whilst he was at full stretch.

It'll be good to see him back - rough estimate?

Saw something yesterday that said he was back in training in 3 weeks, not sure how reliable it is, think it was max Goddard on brayford twitter account

There were points last season when we lined up with a back-four comprised entirely of wingbacks:

Freeman - Brayford - McEvely - Harris

This is not acceptable. Playing Brayford at CB for anything more than 15 minutes at the end of a game / in an emergency would be catastrophic idiocy.

Far better to play Freeman on the right-wing ahead of Brayford. Two decent players, both with a bit of pace and technique, and good enough to cover for each other at the back when one runs forward to attack. That also gives you the option of swapping Freeman for Flynny as a like-for-like, in a game where you need to be slightly cautious (as in against some of the higher-placed teams), or by using an Adams or a JCR on the wing when you need to go all-out (if we're chasing a game for example).
