Ash77 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) not bashing taylor etc but against a striker more mobile than zigic taylor might struggle. against a big lad he'll probably do well. buxton has good pace for a cb and has played well there before, stronger than he looks and good positioning, anticipation etc. lee is unlucky to be on the bench, away from home at least maybe he should play right mid with antonio coming on if needed for now, or antonio up top if wickham goes. if antonio continues to start and played for 90 tho, what do people think about buxton at cb with lee rb when gardner's out?

Tea Baggins Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I mentioned this to my bro and its certainly an option, however it worked in L1 against Yeovil (when I saw it) It would be a risk against a higher calibre of striker. Saying that Buxton is offering loads at RB and playing well, so why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senwar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Taylor has done the job you say he may struggle with for several years in the prem and championship. So no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Use the loan system. That's what it's there for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hasn't really been considered for a centre back role has he, though may have been down to the lack of options at right back. Could be a short term option. As for Lee being unlucky to be left out, ditto Jermaine Johnson, that's what happens when you start to get a competitive squad.

BRADDAZ Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nah. Taylor played well Tuesday and for that reason should not be dropped. Also, Buxton is our second highest assist maker from right back. His attacking assets outweigh his defensive. Plus Lee is playing well in front of him.

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Would be absolute madness to move our best player out of his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash77 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 taylor got praise for a decent show against a donkey but he'll get slaughtered on here if a pacy striker tears him another one. might do him and us a favour to at least consider buxton covering at cb with lee rb against a pacy front line imo, we wouldnt have to defend as deep either.

FlyingOwl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 We've discovered a good little player in Lee as a winger. Buxton is the most reliable RB we've had in years. And the chances are we're gonna bring in a CB on loan.. I also think Taylor is competent enough at this level, a couple of dodgy games doesn't change that!

Guest Wilf Marshall Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think he should rest Antonio for a bit or keep him on the bench for a few games. Then Lee can play in his regular position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
