Blatter Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Thought Fox looked promising. Couldn't really see why he was dropped for Pudil. Better defensively and added a bit more height to the defence Can't remember him beng dire but didn't see many away games 2 hours ago, Holmowl said: Pudil and Fox flattered to deceive from time to time, but neither were consistent, and occasionally they were dire. Reach filled in from time to time, with mixed results. Its a tough one to answer at present as we don't know whether FF will be striker or winger, so don't know if Reach is a sure-start winger or not. Just for the sake of this thread, if we assume we use FF or a new buy as LW from August, who would you want to see as our first-choice LB? For me, in order... Reach New buy Pudil And who would the new buy be? I'm struggling to think of a realistically priced LB significantly better than Reach and Pudil.

malek Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised to see Matt Penney push likes of Fox and Pudil for left-back spot. Ideally we would sign first choice left-back of real class, move on Pudil and Fox, and keep Penney as a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn home and Leeds away (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birstall Owl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 George Friend always looks decent when I've seen him, doubt we could get him from Boro though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We need to get a Worthington - Kingy thingy on the wingy going. Reach amd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I doubt we will bring one in as we have 3 options there already. Think Carlos will go for a CB, a CM, a winger and maybe even a RB before he even thinks about left back. Personally I'd like a better left back but it won't happen.

fred mciver Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Reach is finshed as a winger so wing - back on left for me, or left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcheeks Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Wouldn't we need to try and sell Fox and/or Pudil before signing another L Back. I think part of Carlos' problems last season was having too many players yet never willing to drop his favourites. Definitely agree that Reach better as a L Back or wing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to recruit smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1947OWL Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Having watched his recent performances, Matt Penney has shown enough to be a real challenger for the left back position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomas613 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Personally think fox did ok can cross it and looks sharp enough to run up box to box all day. He's young enough to improve think he ok. I'm gobsmacked why we signs emanuelson not to play him when he's a decent player when fit then to release him anyway ?? Pointless wage bill if ask me. And you can't tell me he wasn't fit all season that's shocking if so. But other than that reach can stay there with FF on left I think left side is our strongest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 None of our full backs (left or right) are good enough to play as wing backs for a top two side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'd have Reach with Pudil and Fox as back up. Have FF on left and sign a quality winger to provide competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 James Meredith at Bradford City now they have failed to get promotion. He's 29, 6'1", and has impressed me when I've seen him on T.V. Matt Penny has been cover for him whilst on loan and hardly featured but I can see why even though I consider him to be an excellent prospect.

doubleo Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Pudil looks tired, Fox - the jury's out, we've spent £5 mill on Reach, so to get some return on that I think LB is his best position and he's the best out of the 3. We need to strengthen but I think we have other priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
