With Del on the left side of the centre back partnership and Ayala in his natural postion on the right side if they both have a good game then Darragh shouldn't walk straight back in the team.

Ideally we have 3 centre backs fighting for the 2 shirts! 

Does anyone think there are any benefits on selecting the defenders based on the opponents or it will/should just be down to form?

You should absolutely NOT swap the defence around based on the opposition.

If you have to do that you’ve assembled the wrong defence.

Totally disagree.

They should get good game time in their recovery.

Lenihan has had plenty of game time already this season, why risk him aggravating it further. As for Evans until he plays for us he shouldn't be going of to play for Northern Ireland, in the 7 years he's been here he has always prioritised playing for Northern Ireland above playing for Rovers.

Lenihan is a doubt for ROI. Evans not in today's squad.

The Lenihan knock explains why Wharton was pulled out of yesterday's under 23 match v Man U.

I think a settled back 4 is key. Change only when necessary due to injuries or suspension.
