Port Said Red Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Baker and Wright both out, (OK Baker is doubtful, but we have all seen what he is like If he decides he isn't fit) As it stands, we will have our top academy product up against possibly the most formidable set piece players in England, unless we can bring someone suitable on loan. Love Kelly, but I hope he doesnt get damaged by the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Out of interest I always see a bit of Rennie in Pack. Could he play at CB if desperate? I think he could but maybe Boro not the one to experiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalcub Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 This is the game Webster has to step up and handle flint at set pieces, the games not happened yet so let's get behind our new signing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes having pressure put on you brings out the best.

Chappers Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 You just have to make the best of what you have available, Preston coped with a major defensive injury crisis last year.

What's the issue? As to a striker, Djuric was a bit-part player last year. Other than that, we've lost Reid and gained Weimann and Eisa. When you say 'everybody', don't include me in that.

Perhaps part of a back 3/5 - as a libero (Football Manager PC game term!). Would be interesting if our options are limited.. perhaps you could do Hunt - Webster, Pack, Kelly - Dasilva. Depending on how the game is going, Pack could come forward into midfield. Maenappa Hunt - Webster, Pack, Kelly - Dasilva Smith, Brownhill, Walsh Paterson Weimann I wouldn't be against us trying that against Boro, we're going to need to be on our game and being quite defensive aiming to keep a clean sheet might be sensible. If we want to go for it we'd have O'Dowda, Eliasson, Watkins on the bench. Might be tempted to play Watkins instead of Paterson actually as he'd be better at holding the ball up and allowing Weimann to run off him.

I think he could but maybe Boro not the one to experiment I think Dave Rennie was usually a centre back when we signed him, and we converted him into central midfield. When he left us, he went back to centre back elsewhere. Whatever happened to Tin Plavotic? Has he gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire reds Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 if we don't sign a centre back before the Boro game then flint and co will have a field day on sat. Webster by the sounds of it the only fit centre back. Kelly a great prospect but not ready to play there just yet. with all the injuries at this early stage is a major concern. let's hope lee gets it sorted but his record with loan players I don't hold out much hope.
