Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Haven't saw his name mentioned anywhere today. Anyone have any idea why he wasn't in the squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Think we went with Joe at left back because of his attacking attributes. We had Adam Matthews on the bench to cover full back positions (he can play RB or LB) and Derrick Williams as the centre back cover. Think he will play in the cup game on Tuesday.

Roe Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's a tricky one but unless we only have 18 decent players, there's unfortunately gonna have to be a few that miss out on making the matchday squad all together. I think Golbourne will get his chances, but it will be interesting to see how many seeing as Johnson highlighted Bryan as a left back last season and you can't play two of them..

Davefevs Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Think SG may get the nod in games where we want to be a bit tighter, maybe more away from home...but JB excellent today, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is a winger and a quality one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said at half time , he needed to be 10 yards further forward, Maybe it is as Gillies says , SG will play when we need to be more solid, personally I'd have him in all the time and let JB attack more.

HoldenBall Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hope he's not being shafted out the club, don't think he's had a bad game for us yet he's the definition of a solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thing will be happening more and more due to the scrapping of the emergency loan system this season. Clubs will have to carry more players and ultimately more players will be sat in the stands as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think having Golbourne and Bryan rotating the LB role is exactly what we will need this year and perhaps next. Golbourne is a very solid Championship defender, while Bryan has the potential to far surpass that. However Joe needs to improve his defensive game, and area where Scott is better than him.

I like him at LB though. Hes so hard to track there and it really opens up a lot of space for him. I think his value goes up as a LB as long as he continues doing his already solid defensive work. Now I think there will be games where him and SG will be starting on the left together. Joe being very good with his right foot makes him so versatile. Great player we got there. Looks confident again after an up and down season last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between heaven and hell Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Difficult selection decisions all round for our Lee in the coming weeks. Does Tammy start up top, does Lee stay out wide or come in more central. Joe Bryan left back or the reliable Scott Golbourn in, Adam Mathews or Luke Ayling at right back or Bobby in for Brownhill. Oh and in a few weeks Korey in for Marlon The one thing to say is we have a good squad now that are fighting for their places every week which can only be a good thing. Would still like to see another centre half as not a fan of Derrick and still a bit nervy about the middle with Korey's ankle and Gary's knee.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Who plays LB depends on the game I think. We were always going to attack today hence Joe but at Norwich for instance I suspect Scott will play as we`re likely to be up against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 The "problem" is that Bryan is very adaptable and we've seen him wide left and in midfield and he does well wherever he plays. If I were LJ, Bryan would be one of my favourites for the very reason of his versatility. If he had to he could probably play in goal........
