Bristoliain Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 If its already been mentioned sorry but ex Leicester defender Alan Maybury will play @ Hereford tonight. Could prove cover/competition for McAllister. Your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesM Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 If its already been mentioned sorry but ex Leicester defender Alan Maybury will play @ Hereford tonight. Could prove cover/competition for McAllister. Your thoughts I think he's more of a Right Back than a lefty? However he is noted for his versatility and dependability. He's always been decent enough when I've seen him play for the Foxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MaloneFM Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hopefully something may be composed in time for the fixture Samuel. However in some quaters the name Lavin may be met with the call of the Tawny owl. Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristian444 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Back to Maybury... He's a right back, but can play at left back or right midfield. If he's anything like Wilson, that probably also includes left midfield, centre midfield, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhyde Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Unless Wilson's on his way it's pointless. I don't like bringing in senior players as cover in any circumstance. Maybury IIRC was a decent champ player..but meh really don't see what positionally GJ is up to. Need a centre back and central midfielder and a couple or one striker.

I seem to remember that he said after the game that Lavin would never play for us again.....until of course we had injuries and he needed a full back! Fool!

If he's anything like Wilson, that probably also includes left midfield, centre midfield, etc. etc. I'm all for getting value from or players, one size fits all, but don't we sometimes end up with 'a master of none' situation? I'm not judging Maybury as I don't know anything about him. Yes, we do need competition for all places but I think I'd like to replace like with like. We aren't a small struggling team where there squad numbers have to be kept as low as possible to save money. Isn't there a trial (cup games?) where the number of subs to chose from is increased this year, and maybe this rule will be brought in for the future; if this is the case would players who can play in many positions not be so necessary as subs places can be filled with dedicated position players?

Classic away trip, Classic post match interview from Penis too. "Well if he's done what I've seen he's done, well, that's not for me. No, sorry, I'm not having that".

chinapig Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 So if you're Ribeiro and you've just signed a new contract and Gary has said you can play right or left back, how do you feel about this guy being given a trial? I'm totally baffled. We suddenly seem to be dropping our standards and lowering our expectations all round. BTW what happened to Michael Ricketts?

However he might prove decent experienced cover and did play UEFA cup football last year, so maybe they were just being bitter (as it should be noted none of them were Aberdeen fans). Most likely. As an Aberdeen fan aswell as a City fan. Maybury was outstanding last year. Played really well in Europe against Bayern Munich, and then when the Scottish press were absolutely creaming themselves over Aiden McGeady, Maybury marked him out of two games in a space of 10 days. I really wanted Aberdeen to keep him, but he wanted to come back down south. I'd be really pleased if City signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Sussex Red Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 sign him up because we need a right back. we know what happened at wembley this year. orr went off injured so we had to put marvin right back cos we didn't have any cover. would give brad a bit of compeititon aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwickshire Red Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Spoke to a Leicester fan today as Maybury played for them - ultimately a very poor signing and ended playing for their reserves as made too many mistakes. Trial players are exactly that for a reason - hopefully GJ will be exercising extreme caution. Doesn't sound like a step up from what we've got. Would prefer we go for a player BCFC courts not the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
