michael spowage Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Who to replace hectoring if we don't sign him for next season promotion push, not van aken for God's sake thorniley too young for me, think we need to sign a strong commanding defender Edited April 5, 2019 by michael spowage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be looking to beef up our strength in depth and make the position competitive. But Thorniley has every opportunity now to be a great CB here. Reminds me of Maguire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorniley has been brilliant when he's played this season. To not give him his chance should we not sign Hector would be very harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We need 4 reliable centre backs, if Hector leaves, we’ll need to bring in two Agree though, Thorniley wouldn’t let anyone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewsburyowl58 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 If we are serious about a promotion challenge next season I feel we need a proven quality centre half , is Thorniley up to high end championship performances yet ? Great back up though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumboldowl Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 This is clearly a case of the halfs and the half nots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sign hector. Him lees and thornillly would be a great start. Plus one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We also have Iorfa to put at CB if Hector leaves. Then we’d need a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Lees and Thorniley are good defenders, but Hector’s mobility and extra height, have given us something we were missing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spondon Owl Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I see thornilly as being similar to Tom Lee's in his play. I'm not sure they are complementary. Hector and loovens previously compliments Lee's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Thorniley is a good replacement, Iorfa can play there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 We'd better start looking soon. It took us 200 scouting reports to find van Aken; another 400 and I reckon we might find what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Would love to sign Hector. I really like Thorniley but him and Lees together don’t dominate in the air like Hector does. New contract for Palmer, Sign Hector, Loan Lazaar again, sell Van Aken, Fox, Pudil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Someone i deal with through work is a Blackpool fan and rates their centre half Curtis Tilt very highly...............out of contract at the end of the season as well, apparently Rangers and a few others have shown interest.
