Belfast Owl 2 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Yep. I'm freaking out about our strongest position cause I look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiejohn Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 To say we had our best player so far this season out today our defence was immense. Our captain and best defender in recent years has been out a while and cannot reasonably expect to start when fit and suddenly Fox looks a player. The defence is in great nick and is the least of our worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazaston Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 If we run short of centre halves I'm sure Kieran Lee could fill in seeing as he's 6 foot odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch is also twice the player Lees is, in any position, as he showed today. Thornily also, given the chance. sorry Lee's, but get to the back of a very strong queue.

Today we lacked cover big time. We have 3 top quality centre backs at this level plus Hutchinson who can play there. Plus we have Thorniley and Bates. That’s 6 players for 2 positions, 3 of which are fully fit, one of which is very close to being fit and another which pulled out of the game today at short notice with something that probably will be sorted by next weekend. It’s hardly a problem position, it’s pretty much the only one where we can sustain multiple injuries and not weaken the line up too much. Imagine if Fletcher got injured, then we’d have an actual problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa has had a great season playing at centre half How long is Borner out for because we now look very short suddenly! However well done Hutchinson, immensely professional performance coming in at short notice. Watching it back on sky now, and I can't believe the pundits were suggesting Palmer or Odubajo could have come in at centre half because Hutchinson is not natural there! Do these people not watch us other than when we are on TV?!!! Err Thorniley is potentially our best CH chill Winston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we can nuture him and develop him. But to do that he needs game time. And that wont be easy with the way Iorfa and Borner are playing. Definitely something for managment to ponder.

bradowl Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Fox could play central defender, he played there at Villa a few years ago and did ok even though he was fans scapegoat. He's improved massively since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Borner I would imagine back for next week with an ankle roll , Thorniley also an option ,Lees can’t be far away at all . Come Blackburn you would hope they are all fit and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I thought Thorniley would have started yesterday, keeping that left right combination, and allowing the midfield to stay the same. However, Hutchinson did well there (no surprise really) and Joey had a decent game, so all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Hutchinson is not only our best centre back, he’s the best in the division....he should be first choice there and it’s the managers decision whether Borner, Lees or Iorfa partners him. For me it would be Borner with Iorfa at RB and Lee, Bannan and Luongo in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
