I too am curious about the CB room and what they're going to do behind Montgomery and Kobza. Field probably slots in as the third CB and we could potentially see Kamdem like someone in here suggested earlier (sorry can't remember who). That means three lefties in that group and potentially playing two left footers at CB which is an interesting dynamic as left footers typically don't play on the right because there's fewer of them (though this happened when Klomp was suspended last season, pretty sure it was Montgomery and Field as the pairing). Can Aird play CB? Doesn't seem like a natural fit for his skills but if he could slide over then Harms or Wahling can play at fullback

I had figured Trafford would see some time in the backline but with him gone there doesn't seem to be a natural fit in the midfield for someone to drop back a line when needed - with the caveat that Shome could play anywhere on the pitch and excel at it.
