Red7 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Despite the clamour for the return of Pisano at right back a few weeks back, I think we look more solid as team with Wright playing there. He did a damned good job there despite his limitations going forward. I don't know whether Pisano is fully fit or not, but he hasn't done it for me at all since his return.

class not gas Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 He' certainly not the player who started the season, hopefully a good pre-season and we will see him back to his best.At his best he' first choice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Whilst Wright is limited going forward we certainly were a lot more stable at the back, so Wright for me. Not sure what Pisano offers and if he's at full fitness then that's a massive worry, although why we never signed a right back in January is beyond me.

Dullmoan Tone Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pisano has his limitations, but I thought he was good against Sheff Weds - Birmingham are not a good team and are likely to set up to avoid conceding, we need someone who can get forward and cross the ball, Pisano for me.

Chicken George Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Wright for me. Pis has been awful since his return. Defensively out of shape constantly and with the ball hea given it away more than he’s found a team mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I thought Pisano looked excellent in his earlier games. Would still start him over Bailey Wright at RB even though EP has not been great. A young backup RB needed in the summer though, Brittain from MK Dons or James Justin from Luton would be ideal. Taylor Moore will never be good enough imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Wright stands off the attacker a bit more and doesn't venture forward as much, he looks pretty solid by comparison. I don't think having Brownhill at RM helps much, whoever plays RB.

I keep hearing lots of responsibility going on the wide midfielder. Wright coped perfectly well with Brownhill in front of him for most of the season. Pisano has struggled big time. It’s not Brownhill’s fault. Likewise on the other side. I hear so much nonsense about Bryan not getting protection from his left mid. I didn’t see Kelly getting out of shape, easily beaten and lack desire to get back when he played there. Nothing to do with the wingers, our two first choice full backs are poor and need replacing urgently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Onion Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thought Pisano was bloody awful against Millwall, consistently giving the ball away. A relief when he was subbed. So no to him, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly- I don't fully agree on the fullbacks not being good enough, but during our golden period, when Brownhill played 5 games as a wide right midfielder, the result? 5 wins. I prefer him in the centre, but I don't subscribe to a view that says he doesn't protect the full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fullbacks did a good job when we were playing well as a team. I would certainly be going with Kelly and Wright at the moment. Re the other issue, I may be in a minority, but I just don't see what Brownhill offers. And I haven't done all season, even when we were playing well and getting the wins.

Redstart Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 A fully fit and playing like he did at the start of the season Pisano would always be my preferred option - however I feel we lobbed him back in the side too soon as the 'natural' right back choice and I'd personally be a lot happier with Wright there at the moment. Pisano has been losing the ball, giving away niggly fouls etc. - sorry to say he has not added anything to our performances at all since his return.

Bailey-Wright has to come back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singingsuperstar Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 He (piano) was lucky not to give pens away at Barnsley, nearly ripped the shirts off a couple of players. I actually prefer BW at right back to centre back. He's disciplined in the position and cos of his CB experience we look more solid at defending set plays. We need an experienced RB, play making midfielder, proven goal scorer and a new premier experienced keeper. Basically a new spine! I'd say get ready for departures and some low offers for our "star" players based on the last 3 months (except Bobby who is class above imo).

I'd like us to sign Yiadom from Barnsley in summer. Athletic right back. Not convinced with Pisano but in fairness he did have a bad injury.

Davefevs Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pre-injury I thought he was great. I haven’t really seen much of him (Brentford only) since his return and I don’t think he has a good game....who did though!! On form I’d pick him over Wright every time. If he hasn’t returned the player he was, then you’d pick Wright....unfortunately I think he’s either carrying a niggle hence the last 6-7 performances, or he’s lost form. I would play Pisano tomorrow if I was playing a 4. Is Hegeler fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I am no fan of Wright, but would put him straight back in, Pisano could be good, but needs more time I think (he was also absolutely hopeless at the early away game at Brentford btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
