He has to cover for the inept Lees and Borner. We can't afford to move iorfa. Iorfa is surely one of the best CB in the division now. Sadly he's got two duds in Lees and Borner that he's always covering for He is a RB playing at CH! Can’t recall Borner having a bad match since he arrived.

Bleeder Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Borner is the best footballer of the 3 of them. Also does alot of talking.... he's a good leader. Him and one of Lees/Iorfa for me, personally think he and Iorfa complement each other very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Agree absolutely with the OP. He's our best defender and should also be captain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 For me, I'd play Iorfa in place of Palmer at right-back, bring in Borner to partner Lee's and move Palmer to left-back. It's the strikers that worry me though, Rhodes offers so little - his Forest goals have completely masked that he just doesn't contribute anything of significance. Nuhiu is a real pain to play against but yesterday he was woeful too... Fletcher is leagues above them both and we DESPERATELY need a reasonably quick clever striker to cause any kind of threat. And we need to stop just hoofing it. I'm not averse to going direct and think in Bannan and Fletcher and Harris, plus Nuhiu we have the ability to do it well - but we constantly do it and almost never try anything different. It usually starts from countless back passes to Dawson from either Lees, Fox or Palmer - who hoofs it up for us to lose it. All 3 of those defenders are shockingly negative. Free kick in attacking position? Pass it back. Free kick in our own half? Pass it back. Drives me nuts - we'll never get anywhere with that attitude.

Nothing particularly, he's solid enough, but personally don't think he gives us enough going forward with deliveries and a general tendency to be slow with throw ins or general urgency. We don't have a left full back that I rate in the squad. I thought we had one with Penney, but something went really wrong before he left for Germany. I'm equally not content with Palmer on the right... he seems lethargic and seems to give up too easily, yet wierdly seems to do well on the left plus seems to link up with Harris far better and is defensively sound there too. Just personal choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just personal choice. I see both our regular FBs as similar in ability. I think Palmer is better when he concentrates on defending and doesn’t have to go forward as much. However I think Fox offers a bit more with his deliveries yet is not as good defending. But as you say, it’s all about opinion. I do however have reservations about Iorfa playing RB, I wasn’t impressed by him there. Likewise I don’t agree with Palmer at LB IF Fox is available.

Maddogbob Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'd simply replace Lees with Borner. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1601 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Borner in every time. Iorfa and Lees need a centre back partner to coach then through games at times. Lees needed Loovens for this. Borner loves defending, he also gets us up the pitch and out of the box when we clear balls in the box. In short, he’s a leader, we have few of those.

4evaowl Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I’d like to see us try all three centre backs in one game, with two wing backs, three in midfield and two up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I’d play Borner and Lees with Iorfa RB. Borner is just outstanding at CB and I think Iorfa offers so much as an additional physical presence at the back but also the way he can drive forward with the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Iorfa was poor against Derby and woeful against Stoke. He’s going to get roughed up again against Cardiff and I’m not convinced he’s going to stand up to that. Iorfa — Lees — Börner —Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players continually drift out of position leaving the excellent Iorfa to cover. Without a player of his calibre we wouldn't be where we are. When the window opens we desperately need a solid left sided CB. Borner not good enough? Behave yourself, the lad is quality. I'm amazed that Monk isn't starting him. We are desperately in need of a few players, CB is not one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepitsteel89 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Boner and Iorfa must be our Cb's the lack of leadership in that last 10 minuets was so obvious, get the line forward ffs Edited December 28, 2019 by keepitsteel89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
