I'm happy to either play as CM or as ANY in defense if we have fewer players. I've played as CM most of the time in the matches we've had (apart from last night) and had good ratings most of the time.
If we have 7 players, then I have no problem with 6 players taking the front 6 positions and me playing as ANY (or in fact all) of the back four.
I think when we have more than 7 is when we need to focus on rotating the positions. If people are happy playing as one of the back 4 roles, then fine, but they should also be given the chance to switch regularly.
I appreciate that it would be ideal to have people play a set position in one sense, because the more they play it the better they will get, but it is sometimes difficult to feel as involved if you are playing every game as CB.
One of the reasons for this could be the fact that currently we are only really keeping track of goals and assists - neither of which a defender is going to influence on a consistent basis.
Lastly, at the minute it seems a few players seem to have "confirmed" positions which means the other ones are on a first come first served basis on the selection screen. This is likely to lead to some people getting pissed off if they miss out on "their" position.
So I'll be on at 8 as well so let's see who is in the dressing room and take it from there.
