Buster Footman's T shirt Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Never mind the loss of Webster....is anyone else seriously worried by our sheer lack of numbers and cover at CB? That is without worrying about the quality of cover. I get why the club sold Webster but it makes the decision to send Vyner out very strange to say the least. Espeically as Baker and Wright are hardly known for being injury free. Who is the next in line from the U23s or academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible we go into the season with 4 CBS, but had 6 last season when you include Pisano and Kelly who both had minutes there. We must surely have one great prospect ready to come in if needed. Baker and Wright both injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 So we've got 4 centre backs in the squad currently. 3 of which are proven championship quality defenders (albeit two with potential fitness problems) and the other is a promising young player who we spent a few million on. How many do you think we should have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 LJ said in the interview that he’s looking at the OOC players at the moment so we may have someone soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get 2 unavailable which could easily happen and we are in serious trouble. 2 minutes ago, RedorDead BCFC said: LJ said in the interview that he’s looking at the OOC players at the moment so we may have someone soon. Doesn't look like many options. Ashley Williams is dodgy. Though i would take him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoch Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Very short on numbers especially if we carry on playing with 3 CBs. Unlike last season we haven't got the full backs to slot in as a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked really good the two times he played centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, only 2 games. But for me he is a centre back if that's how he plays. He was constantly taking on the strikers and defended aggressively and very well.

DC Red Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Former Nigerian international Efe Ambrose is considered to be a ball playing CB and is on the list. No idea how good he is now, but he played for Celtic and Hibs. However, he didn’t get any game time while at Derby earlier this year as he was unable to displace Keogh or Tomori.

If we got someone else in just to add numbers all we'd be doing is wasting money at best and at worst you'd end up playing an out of sorts wildcard who could be well off the pace.

Depends if Johnson likes the idea of playing 3 at the back , i think its a wasted formation unless you have a webster/ayling who can bring it out from the back. I do agree with not signing a ooc player for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 One niggling thing to me is if Dasilva done his injury in training I hope it wasn’t before Thursday as that would of been stupid to have not got someone in then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just a thought, can Pereira play CB? If he can we do have Hunt and if needed Brownhill who could fill in as RB. On the left side we still have CoD. Also Fammy who wins most balls in the air defending but not much attacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
