gurujuan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Following the capture of Connor Whickam, do we need to move again for another defender? We are short of cover in defence, particularly on the right side. People have said that Buxton's form has dipped in the last few games and with Lee now considered a midfielder, we lack cover there. Perhaps we'll look to bring in a Premiership youngster, someone who is comfortable at right back and centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think CB is where we need cover. We only have Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatMyGOAAAALLLLL Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 If we could get a defender that's comfortable with both feet that would be ideal to cover all across the back. Failing that, a centre back wouldn't go amiss. We need tough competition for all areas during the run in to keep the players on their toes.

victorturner Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've always thought Buxton has struggled at this level and Llera wonderful though he has defensive lapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shabba Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think CB is where we need cover. We only have Taylor Yep. I suppose Reda could cover, as we have enough left backs. But his lack of centre back experience at this level would be a worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I dont think Buxton has struggled recently! Against Brighton he was as good as ever, the whole defence werent great yesterdaycbut hes fine we don't need cover for RB. We perhaps need it for CB though.

alanharper Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 No point bringing in another loan defender now just to add cover in case of future injury/suspension - only if they were going to be first choice in the team. With Llera being a bit of a mixed bag, Gardner with a history of hamstring injuries and Taylor being mostly rubbish so far, we're definitely light on cover in the centre, although in an emergency we also have Reda and Buxton who are capable of filling in there.

gurujuan Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Haven't been since the game at Charlton so can't say re Buxton, although a few on here say his form has slipped a bit. Were that the case, or he got injured, who would replace him? Another right sided defender coming in could put pressure on Buxton and also challenge Llera for a place in the middle. Most Premiership clubs have youngsters who are equally adept at full back or centre back. I suppose we will need to get a few more out first, starting with a couple of keepers as 5 is totally excessive, especially when you consider our limitations elsewhere.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What about Mattock? He was great at right back earlier in the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What about Mattock? He was great at right back earlier in the season...Great? Really? Against Hull in October I witnessed one of the worst full back displays ever from a Wednesday player by him. He made Tommy Spurr look like Roberto Carlos.

Orlando_Trustful Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Buxton has been our most consistent performer this season! Buxton is consistent, but he's still partial to odd big blunder. Like against Brighton last week when he nicely set up Orlandi for their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Lee would slot in at full back no probs , central midfield is our priority now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Think we're ok til the summer, to be honest. Our covering players aren't even getting a game, so why the need for additional bodies..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not meant to be a Buxton bashing thread at all, just saying that we are a little threadbare down that side. With Lee now excelling in his midfield role and Taylor seemingly out of the picture, we could do with another one in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Antonio moving back out wide to accommodate Wickham alongside Lita, doubt Lee will be starting anyway - so cover sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
