Interminan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 For me we're still a top class centre half short (to partner Lee's). Sasso & Loovens are sound enough as back up, but we don't need to make do anymore. Infact I'd say Hutchinson is a better option than both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Carlos said himself today that we won't be signing another centre-half this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supernige Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think Hutchinson will end up playing centre half ,it suits him playing there ,and probably won't pick as many bookings up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Carlos said himself today that we won't be signing another centre-half this window. If Turner and Lees are nearing fitness, we're covered. I guess he didn't speak specifically about targets, but is his stance still, just fine tuning?

ramone Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Don't get the stick Loovens gets on here. He's a class act and he's our skipper. Oh, and he played a big part in breaking a club record last season for the most clean sheets recorded in a season. All of a sudden he's not good enough. What's up with people.

frastheowl Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 We're more than covered at centre half. We have five centre halves, who are all very capable at Championship level. It's the position we're strongest in. I can't understand the clamour to bring in another. Lees is one of the division's most consistent centre backs. Loovens has been superb for us for the past three years, and continues to be a rock and a brilliant captain and leader. Turner is, at the very least, a very reliable back-up, but looked a sound first choice earlier in the season, when fit. Sasso, granted struggled against a direct, physical Bolton side, but has otherwise looked remarkably assured, confident with the ball at his feet and has slotted in seamlessly in a side that's maintained a 100% since his return from injury. And Hutchinson, although it seems will only play at centre half when desperate, is actually, as reliable, if not more so, than most of the above.

Guest HATETUNALOVECHANSIRI Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If loovens is a weak link then im pretty pleased with the quality of the squad but i do feel he is prone to the odd error and is on the slow side so for me when fit turner and lees have to be our starting cb's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens was excellent last season and has been very good this season, despite playing with 4 different CB partners. The Loovens & Lees partnership is superb. We don't need a CB at all.

jonnyowl Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Lees and Hutchinson won't give much away, I'd love to see these given the chance to play at CB together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Carlos also said today Pudil can fit into this role if needs must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Pudil has proven he is our best LB for a long time. But also if needs be he slots into CB with out an issue. I think the Bennett signing was as much to ensure we had some to cover should Pudil have to move inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Carlos does right to ignore calls to strengthen in this area, in fact he needs to strengthen the one area where we have no cover, and that's Forestieri. If he's out we have no spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 And if the poo poo really hit the fan and we totally ran out of centre backs, there is always Semedo! No point chucking any cash at a C/B now we have others nearing fitness and 3 players what can cover there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Loovens isn't great but fairly solid and does a decent job With him and lees at CB more than happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's out we have no spark Agreed, a loan move for a good, young player would be ideal I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Shame about Turner and Lees in the sick bay as that was the pairing I wanted to see get a run of games. Also a threat at set pieces in our team of diminutive dynamos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
