Beholder Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Needs an upgrade. 3 players but not none of the standard required for the league position we aspire to in my opinion. Hunt has neither assuredness at the back or end product at the other end. Palmer, I like him but he is a converted midfielder. Decent as a back up, but not really specialist in that position. Prone to the odd mistake. Vermijl. Hardly seen enough of him to judge. But nowhere near the first team. Would like to see us chuck some money at this position. Someone of the standard or Roland Nillson would do nicely...or one who can really threaten in an attacking sense.

torryowl Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 hunt is the weakest player of the regulars, average at best but pie in the sky to think we could get someone of roly's standard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't we all want a RB of Nilsson's standard? Where the feck would we get one from though? Never mind, Hunt is not even in the same stratosphere as what Nilsson used to be so at least there should be a reasonable upgrade that is within budget somewhere.

batemoor owls Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 don't think anyone can come close to the Swede which is MR ROLAND NILSSON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Obviously we can't have the full offensive & defensive package, because those players don't play lower league football So it depends what CC wants from his full backs We could go the other route and sign someone like, Chambers from Ipswich, who is a converted centre half I doubt CC would want that though, because THE DIAMOND IS COMING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batemoor owls Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 CC needs to get on the phone to his old mucker Jose and see what he's got spare at the back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vid80 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 No reason why we cant get an upgrade, we should sent our scouts out into europe to find us the quality we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt concerns me I admit, but probably not as much as other areas. I personally think him and Pudil are wing backs all day long, but that formation won't be happening. Even as a wing back he just doesn't carry any attacking threat. Gets in good positions but then just passes it backwards to lee or wallace. Frustrates the hell out of me.

Mr Hooper Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Why all of a sudden is hiding getting sick? Big fan of him, pace, energy and a great touch. We seem to be finding someone to blame for points behind dropped....earlier this weak it was Hooper, now it's Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Sasso is a RB as well as CB and I would have liked to see him and play there once or twice when he was here. I worry about him physically at CB but RB could be ideal for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt gets a lot of undeserved stick, but I think he's a good attacking right back at this level. Never got the negativity, apart from a pretty poor start, he's looked good.

Eccy Owl Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hunt is more than capable, genuinely don't understand why he gets so much stick on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think Lee is a fantastic midfielder but how can we accomodate Jones, Abdi, Wallace, Bannan, Lee, FF, (and possibly Hutch when we have Lees and Loovens, and possibly another, fit at centre half.) Lee has played full back earlier in his career and I think I'd rather see him there than sat on the bench because you can bet other clubs will come sniffing.

james o connor Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 ideally i would like an upgrade on hunt . he is ok but gets skinned a lot. Having said that, he seems to be getting major pelt since the Burton game. To me this is unfair as the worst players on the field were Hooper, Bannan and lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hunt is a decent full back and Palmer is not bad as back up. This position can wait until next year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Always been really impressed with Maxime Colin at Brentford whenever i,ve seen him. Failing that Darikwa on loan from Burnley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Carlos has not spoken of right-back as being a position he's looking to strengthen. When linked with the Turkish guy, Sarioglu, Carlos brushed it off. Seems content with his options for that position, even if many of you aren't.

Spookone Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Personally I like Hunt and think most of the time he performs his duties well. Edited August 19, 2016 by Spookone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If Carlos wasn't happy with Jack then we would not have signed him in January. Everybody has differant opinions but two clean sheets vs relegated teams followed by a freak set of circumstances vs Burton and people are complaining the defence is too weak. Part of of the issue against Burton could have been avoided if we had kept Dielna with the squad , especially after failing to sign Bennett and given the injury to Loovens, I agree he's not the best and we are actively looking to upgrade but he's what we needed on Tuesday a specialist left sided CB.
