Keep the Faith Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm sure i remember reading not long ago that Johnson was considering signing a centre back and a left back on loan before the deadline. Given that we kept a clean sheet last night do you think he'll still be in the market for a few players or will he stick with what we have? Personally I think our defence has been weak all season and I think the two targets Johnson identified (a commanding centre half and a left back) should have been priorities earlier (I understand that at the start of the season he had McCombe and Blackman but as McCombe probably isn't good enough and is injury prone and Blackman was young this was always a risk). However I don't think loan signings are necessarily the way forward. I liked the days when we made fewer loans I think a couple of season loans with potential permanent moves isn't bad but when you start making panic loan signings you might find yourself in a Charlton/Norwich state of affairs and we all know how that ended for those two clubs. I'd like to think we've enough to stay up so I would probably stick with what we have a give the youngsters a run out when (if?!) we're safe.

Agreed, once we are safe write the season off and bring in the young 'uns. In my opinion Johnson has ignored the defence and ploughed all of his money/effort up front (and failed pretty miserably, Big Chris is about his only success up front this season). He should have started from the back, you cannot loose games if you do not let goals in. Once you have got that right, focus your attentions on the strikers.

vincent_bcfc Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Left back will be unlikely now McCallister is back ... Agree we do need a left back and a commanding centre back though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Rumour on here a week or so ago was that we were interested in Danny Shittu.. Would love it if that was true, just the sort of commanding CB we are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hang on guys not checked my facts but I think I remember our defence was one of the best in the league after the first 10 to 15 games? There wasn't a problem to solve back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
