Lew-T Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 He can barely play his natural position at the moment so it's an easy no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 He looks a bit awkward whenever he's played as a LCB before, but at the same time he has the attributes to be pretty competent there. Would only if Williams is injured though, and Karleigh is probably next in the pecking order anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 He can barely play his natural position at the moment so it's an easy no. Very harsh. Thought he's been good coming off the bench or occasional start at LB/LWB. Not easy when you haven't had a regular run of games. LCB obviously not his natural position, but isn't to say he couldn't get the hang of it. Looked out of position at times last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I understand that but he hasn't been the same player since he was crocked at p'boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 He can barely play his natural position at the moment so it's an easy no. JET could barely play his own positions without a run of games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ideally no, to be honest. Can fully understand WHY he's been deployed in that role in a pinch, but personally would rather see Osborne fitted into the back three if Williams cannot make the Sheffield United game. The back three have been excellent all season, and any of them changing at any time is a blow, but for me, if you have a specialist for a role; play them in it. Osborne might not carry the ball forward in the same way, but he's a solid and reliable player (albeit likely not match sharp), and he could do a job for us, I'm sure. Save Greg for the left wing back role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Tough choice if Williams is out. Cunningham looked all at sea in midweek, whereas Osborne is not match fit and all right footed, so it would disrupt the back three either way. Think I'd just go with Greg in terms of pace and left/right balance if Derrick is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Greg Cunningham centre back yes or no Of course, yes. He's play 90 mins in Derrick's position and looked sound. Let us be honest though, Flint is our only centre back in the starting 11. Ayling and Williams tend to play more like inside full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Not for me, especially against a team like Sheff Utd. He has some good attributes but when it comes to a physical battle, he is often found lacking IMO - and I think Saturday will be a very tough game.

Jevans Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Id pick osbourne everytime over cunningham. Osborne came in last year and was our nest defender, now cant even get a game! Feel sorry for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Osborne came in last year and was our nest defender, now cant even get a game!

MichaelRobartes Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'd pick Osbourne over Cunningham at centre half any day of the week. I know he's hardly played but I think Greg looks really uncomfortable playing there. On the couple of occasions he's had to, he's worked hard and done his best. Osbourne's omission from the 18 man squad is a bit of a mystery to me when we've no recognised centre half on the bench (especially since we play three of them) but we've hardly come unstuck so I can't complain.

Big C Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well he played Greg when Williams was suspended so I cant see any reason why he would change that unless Joe is in need of a rest and he plays Greg at wing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd just go with Greg in terms of pace and left/right balance if Derrick is out. My thoughts exactly. But do we know if Derek is out? Coterill just said he was taken off as a precaution because he had a "tight groin". I get that when big Sarah down the pub has her low-cut top on.

Sounds like he's fine. http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/williams-given-green-light-2267053.aspx Alarm over, though stand by my original thoughts that I'd prefer a specialist centreback (even if not left footed) in for him if was was rested.

Taylor10 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 He can barely play his natural position at the moment so it's an easy no. Agree unfortunately. When Greg steps in after weeks of watching Joe Bryan he just looks so poor. Technically nowhere near on Bryan's level. Due to the formation and personnel though I feel as though we have little option but to play Greg if Williams is ever unfit. Fortunately it looks like Del boy will be fit this weekend!
