Kevin Long has been out injured since last season, so obviously isn't a realistic option to come in.
19-year-old Omobamidele having having to come on after 35 minutes against the formidable Portuguese attack demonstrated the folly of leaving out of the squad the likes of Lenihan, Williams and, especially, Clark - Williams and Clark being two of the few left-sided central defenders available to us. As it was, Egan had to play there, despite being far more effective in the middle.
