Do we need to drop Bola?

In my opinion he's been shocking since he came back. Defending looks worse than it ever did before and he's struggling to cause an impact attacking the left side on overlaps. He was at fault for 2 goals on Tuesday and has been very poor in all the games I've seen him in. We have missed Husband's defending desperately at left back. I'd give him a chance left wing or even MacDonald. We have 2 left footed attacking wing backs, why not use them in a slightly more advanced position? Bola has pace and a half decent cross at times but can't defend. We need to start using our players to their abilities and exploiting teams where we can.
 
Would love to see MacDonald given a chance in the first team again, don't understand why Grayson dropped him. Bola's still a good player but has suffered because of those six months doing fuck all at Middlesbrough. Will hopefully find his true form again before long
 
Did we ever get to the bottom of why McDonald was dropped just as we had found a winning team with a great shape/formation.
 
Yes we do need to drop him, IMO he`s played poorly (admittedly Grayson`s tactics may have played a part in this) however Id like to see MacDonald (don`t remember him doing anything wrong to get dropped)
 
Bola has been much improved the last 2 games, especially going forward.
I'd stick by him and look to actually provide him some cover.
Husband or MacDonald at left back with Bola in front could work.

Bottom line is no one knows how Dunn is gonna line them up on Saturday.

I'd rather get to the bottom of why he's such a darling on here! He looked tidy but lightweight to me, not as good as Bola and not as good a one-on-one defender as Husband.

He never put a foot wrong in the games I've seen... Losing run started when he was left out and team shape changed... Enough said.
 
McDonald is the best full back of the three and I've no idea why he was suddenly dropped for no clear reason.
I'd play Bola further up the pitch though, as he is a threat going forward but can't defend.
Most people could see this apart from our previous manager.
 
I think there's a case for dropping just about anyone but Bola has suffered most from Larry's lop-sided formation.
I think we need to see how the squad copes under a different Manager with fresh ideas.
Not sure what to expect from Dunney though.
 
Husband if fit is a 100% regarding effort a bit of a loose cannon now & then but as a defender he’s ok. I would return to the back 4 of Howe Heneghan Edwards Husband. Mids Virtue Ronan Dewsbury Hall. Up front Delfouneso Gnanduillet Feeney. Maxwell in goal. McDonald would feature at some point maybe Bola & Madine too
Edit if these are all fit
