Yes, we have a better board, so leaving the 8 blot gives us flexibility with low risk (only a 61 hits it). But if hit, in order to re-hit, uses a 5, which is also our best number for getting off the bar. The blot on the 8 should be moved or covered.
But with a better board, I'm inclined to be as flexible as possible and let roman have some long distance shots (which require 2 dice). That implies 11/8 to cover the 8 and 11/10 to be flexible, but then we only really have spares on 13 and 10 points.
Moving 8/4 safeties the 8 blot, but doesn't give us the flexibility I'd like.
What about 8/5, 11/10? Is not a choice, but safeties and gives flexibility. Of course, I still think I'd vote for covering with 11/10, 11/8.

31 32 21 11 22 33 and 44 all point on our head. That's nine shakes, after which we may find us on the bar and Roman picking up and stray blots. So I think we need to clean up.
I looked at 11/8 11/10 or 13/10 11/10, but I don't see the advantage of giving Roman another two or four shakes to go way ahead. Holding the eight point doesn't do much for us here. I guess if he roll an ace and steps up to our deuce point it helps. But he's likely to hit loose with an ace.
8/4
