Jonny Howson played that role a few times for us 2 or 3 seasons ago and did ok. At 5’11” he aint the tallest, but I would play him at CB v Luton providing Crooks was in the team somewhere to add height at set pieces. Smith has played there before as has Bola too. If not Jonny then Smith, but he may not be fit either. I don’t mind who covers, too much, but Crooks is not someone who seems disciplined enough for that role and his tackling is rather clumsy at times, so I’d stick with Jonny as a makeshift for now and hope Fry will be back soon and McNairs problem isn’t too serious.
