In my opinion, it was because both Sarr and Pearce were almost completely only able to play on the left side of defence. Pearce at RCB gave away a lot of fouls.Bubble said:
Sure Bowyer had a dose of this with Sarr and Pearce when Bauer was injured midway through 18/19 season - we was pretty dreadful so can see why he’s not keen on itGarrymanilow said:People are weird (I don't mean on here, in the general footballing world) about having two left footed centre halves. If you look at the history of teams, ours and those all over the world it's really common to have two right footed centre halves, and no-one cares. Vidic and Ferdinand, Terry and Carvalho, Toure and Campbell, Hummel and Boateng, Puyol and Pique. All right footers. Bowyer very specifically likes to have a right and left footer at the back, and there tends to be much more of a fear of having two lefties across football. It's strange0 -

but i would suggest that the game is different with the level of pressing increasing significantly in the last 5 years.
The ability to naturally distribute on the left and the right and not get caught in possession when playing out from the back maybe where this new "voodoo" comes from.

That makes sense. As right footers are so much more common, they're more used to playing on the "wrong" side, where left footers are less likely to have to play as right CBImnot Athletic said:
Thats because if you're a leftie, you never play in the right whereas righties will have experience of playing on the left.

Similarly I imagine that right footers playing at LB are far more common than left footers playing at RB0 -

Disagree with this, I see him as a starting 11 player. I’m not sure we would have won the Doncaster home play off without him that night, and he was our most consistent player last season (except Dillon).DOUCHER said:Leuth said:
Pratley really is pretty good for a L1 centre-backDOUCHER said:famewo and pearce r first choice now - we need another who is at least as good / ready - barker and oshilaja should be stop gaps this season, nothing more
couldn't disagree more - he gets thrown around like a rag doll when he comes up against a proper striker - he's another who shouldn't be a first choice player if we are to go up0 -

Maybe he could in a 3 at the back.bolloxbolder said:Gunter is a big unit. I wonder if he could play as a 3 at the back? Doughty as left wing back so just the RWB to sort.
But he's not a specialist CB and that's what we really need.Could work... But ruins the rest of the team...

I don't disagree, but that formation easily transforms to 3-4-3 with Doughty and Maddison alongside Washington and Gilbey in the CAM position behind.DOUCHER said:Dazzler21 said:Oggy Red said:

Don’t get people posting these possible teams. We’re likely to be five players better off soon and the team will look completely different.10

Washington plays in a 2 up top or doesn't play for me

"Currently I can see us lining up like this in our next game if we don't get a striker deal done, but once positions are filled we'll be back to 4-4-2 diamond for sure."ShootersHillGuru said:Don’t get people posting these possible teams. We’re likely to be five players better off soon and the team will look completely different.
I just think it's interesting to see how our options change as we move towards the end of the window.
It's obviously only supposition and with 1 full week remaining to get in 4/5 players according to Bowyer I hope it's read as such...
Without any leaks it all has to be guess work.

He was right footed as evidenced by the fact that he took all his penalties with that foot as well as free kicks. He started at right back too but, to be fair, unlike a lot of modern day footballers, you wouldn't know that he wasn't predominantly left footed if you saw him using it.Cafc43v3r said:

Paolo Maldini was one of the best left backs of all time and right footed.

So will it be Koiki (the obvious option), or will it be a total curve ball that nobody has spoken about?3
