Yes and no. No because Cordoba is a far better player but yes because

Jose has been out of form and we just won for the first time in a long time.

I think Darling and Maghoma (if fit) will keep their places simply because we won the game, they did some positive things and the mistakes they made (mostly Darling) were mostly mental and therefore coachable.

I also think that if those two do well at the weekend again, his next shake up might be Musaba ahead of Brooks. The criticism was his lack of defending but he ran a long way back to make a great tackle yesterday and showed willingness to defend on more than one occasion. Let him show that again off the bench next game and then start him to give Brooks a kick up the arse.
