Big C Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I find it quite funny that people thinks it so easy to go out and pick up a player. It’s like people think the manager can go down the local cash n carry and pick a right back up of the rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe that there were no suitable replacement right backs available either in January or even the summer ? There were absolutely no rumours linking us to any right back of any type if I recall correctly. Pisano is no spring chicken and Vyner is à Centre Back it is a big mistake not to have cover . The club obviously thought they could get away with it as our results were very impressive but now I fear it's costing the team . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season we had Pisano, Wright, Smith, Vyner and Brownhill who could play there. Realistically if we had signed another right back in tje summer the club would have got loads of stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright - Centre Back Vyner - Centre Back and inexperienced. Smith and Brownhill midfielders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInSA Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yep. A right back is the weak spot, followed by left back. Mags isn't a left back. And I'm not sure what to think of Bryan. I watched the Wright - Baker pairing at the start of the season and thought they were awesome. Even better than Flint - Baker. Wright isn't a right back. He offers nothing going forward (so little that Flint pops up on the overlap sometimes) and he's positionally all at sea defensively. Bottom line is we're a club run on a modest budget buying and developing young players. RB is a gap. We also need cover in CM. Many have also said a better distributing GK.

Lack of Action Man Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah we probably should have tried to loan in a RB, no question about it. But that's the inexperience of LJ I suppose - thinking he could get away with BW/KS/Brownhill in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there wasn't someone available at a decent value for money who would fit with or system. No use just getting a right back if they don't fit our style of play.

Don’t forget we started the season with Hegeler and Wright (not Baker or Flint). Think they’ve only partnered each other thrice (Brentford, Millwall and Villa), which resulted in 3 draws, 2-2, 0-0, 1-1 respectively. I didn’t see Brentford, but thought they were decent in the other two....better than Flint / Baker? I dunno. Too small a sample for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we're Barcelona,The Manchesters or any other top club looking to upgrade for the Champion's league . We just need a specialist right back who can defend , know his positioning and give us a bit of balance to our attacks . How difficult can that be for all our analysts,scouts , coaches and recruitment team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new right back would have recreated his problem and Bakers suspension just put a spanner in the works. One definate is that Flint & Baker play when available, and same for Eros....its a pisser for Wright but that's the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownhill plays there and he is found out time and time again Sunderland and mcgeady being an example of when it' cost us.....also negates his quality in the centre of the park. He then and also plays right midfield where he offers absolutely nothing. Wright plays there and he gets caught out and also offers no attacking threat, first goal today being an example. Patterson on fire in the hole we change shape and he loses his place in the team. Sorry LJ not signing a rb has cost us MASSIVELY AND you have no idea what you'e best side or formation is. We know you enjoy saturating the forum with numerous threads after a poor result, but ignoring the hyperbole I agree with your underlying message in this thread. I was very confused as to why we didn’t sign a right back. Cyrus Christie as you mentioned would’ve been my preferred option, although wages probably high.
