You're playing Preston and Hamilton out of position
All three centre-backs have been excellent, but the majority of Stags would have chosen Pearce out of the three.

I assume this is stats driven but v interesting
I think there is little to choose between the back three - as a unit they have been exceptional.
Its interesting that CJ's stats stack up and support the view we all have. I do wish we could stop talking about CJ being out of position. There is no doubt his stint at wb has improved him beyond belief

Matt Preston has played in all three of the CB positions and CJ has played mostly on the right. Does it really matter. Their stats show how well they have been doing. Bobby Olejnik on bench and Tyler Walker just misses out (level with Jayden Stockley)
Only Lincoln have 4 players in this team. Shows how well Stags have been playing generally.

It would be good to see how their index is calculated but it feels in the right area. CJ has been great and improving rapidly, he’s played in numerous positions so I’m ok with the right winger tag. Our defence has a decent record, we defend as a unit so singling 1 out is tough, I guess the stats are slightly better when Preston has played vs the other two, personally I think KP is more influential and Bishop has been cracking sitting just in front

Thanks for posting the stats James. That's very interesting reading and a decent side.
Danny Mayor has been a stand out player in League 2 this season.
I think Bobby Olejnik, Matt Preston, Krystian Pearce, Neal Bishop and CJ Hamilton are all worthy of a place in the team. Jacob Mellis will also be a good contender if he carries on in the 2nd half of the season in his current form.
I would have thought Mal Benning must be up there as well at left back for his attacking play allthough this does mean he loses his man sometimes when defending.

I agree. The defence has been excellent. However, if we are to achieve promotion this season - then we need another midfielder (Jacob Mellis?), plus a striker to also be in that team. Therein lies the challenge for the second half of the season.

No you don’t. Having a 20 goal a season striker isn’t key to promotion. Goals from all over the pitch can contribute, something which we lacked last season.
Burton Albion won promotion from L1 by scoring only 57 goals in 46 league games. They only conceded 37 goals.
