Full backs


Recommended Posts

Kirkland, Zayatte and Gardner were all quality on Saturday, a bit of Premiership class.  

 

But we were seriously weak in the full back areas, particularly when Mattock went off, playing two midfielders out of position and it showed.  For the 2nd goal Helan didn't seem to notice Barton sneaking up behind him and didn't defend his back post well (and got a huge bollocking off Prutton as a result) whilst Palmer was constantly skinned by Hoillet.

 

Assuming Reda, Buxton and Mattock won't be back in the immediate future what is the answer?

Dunno, because according to you we can't afford to bring anyone in. Perhaps play Madine at full back seeing as everyone apart from me and Neil thinks he's rubbish as a striker.

Absolutely gutting that our first four full backs are all injured. You couldn't move for fullbacks in the team last season. Shouldn't underestimate what a blow it is.

This. Mattock and Lee could have come into their own in this situation and made some competition for place s

Short-term full back loanee's till Reda and Buxton return or put in some development squad full backs (Fenwick and Harvey?).

Was Floro any good last night?

I saw he came off at 70mins.

Tbf he wasn't bad

Seemed decent in the air for a small guy

1 or 2 misplaced passes

Decent pace

Apart from the 45 yard shot that was dreadful

He wasn't bad

And until reda gets back he may be the best option

Loanees required. Buxton and Reda both a fortnight from being close to a return and even then wont be match sharp. Lee/Mattock out for a couple of months. Palmer/ Floro arent the answer. Id put Helan/Semedo there if we cant get anyone else in

Kirkland

Semedo Zayatte Gardner Helan

Coke McCabe

Antonio Maguire Maghoma

Nuhiu

Mostly agree but don't get why people keep dropping Prutton from their fantasy line ups.  Apart from Semedo he's are only ball winner so you need him in for balance and he played better than Coke at QPR and better than McCabe at Rotherham???
