The decision to play either Denis Odoi or Ryan Fredericks against Nottingham Forest tonight is not an option.

The latter is serving the second of a three-game suspension incurred at Birmingham last week.

But come Wednesday week when Fulham face Bristol City away, Slavisa Jokanovic has to choose between the pair.

The Whites gaffer reckons that what one lacks the other has, and vice versa.

Fredericks has pace to burn down the right. Odoi is more the obvious defender, and a 35-yard-goal against Wigan on Saturday, enhanced his CV.

Head over heels: Denis Odoi

“If you watch this season, you can see the characteristics of the difference, (one, Fredericks) a little more offensive on the right, and (the other, Odoi) more defensive,” Jokanovic offered.

“We have to be care about this player and the space behind (an opposing defender, for Fredericks).

Foot in: Jamie Mackie is fouled by Ryan Fredericks (L)

“(For Odoi) He showed in a few minutes he is the right level to play.”

Over to you Fulham fans.

When both are available who is the best right-back?
