Solving the left side of the defence

If you were like me and said no we should not play him then you are. I wanted us to put out the bits and pieces players, like Rousillon.oohaahmortimer said:I know I’m cleverer than the majority of people (I’m no relation of Doucher’s )0 -
Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four.That’s their bread and butter.1

Quite, that why I said if it really is the case that we’ve left ourselves in the situation where we can’t actually play the most basic defensive formation the its utterly negligent.MrOneLung said:Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four.That’s their bread and butter.0 -
But that doesn’t factor in that Ramsay and Bell are really fullbacks who were converted into playing CB so it isn’t really their bread and butter at allMrOneLung said:Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four.That’s their bread and butter.0 -
But in a back 4 they'd both play fullback anyway.fenaddick said:

The issue is Burke, Jones and Gillesphey all being slow, physical centre backs, they're all too similar. We need a left footed centre back with pace to play alongside Jones, or you accept a right footed centre back at LCB (of the 3 it would be Jones again) but have a pacier option with them at RCB.0 -
Well not really considering our centre back options are a mix of full backs and then the actual centre backs have only really done well playing in a 3 in their careersMrOneLung said:Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four.That’s their bread and butter.
So I really don’t think it’s laughable, in fact it’s more laughable to think they can play in a four when there is very little evidence to support that0 -
Ramsay and Bell were both wingbacks/fullbacks beforehand used to playing wider in defence than central. Jones + Macca have performed much better in a 3 for us than a 4 we’ve seen proof over the last 18 months-2 years of that. Burke have no clue on but he can’t even stay fit enough to test the theory anywayMrOneLung said:Makes me laugh people saying we have not got centre backs that can play in a four.That’s their bread and butter.1 -
Unfortunately I think every team is constantly looking for good left footed centre backs with pace. Not that easy to find - and when you do they cost a fair bit of money.sam3110 said:

I think we have to stick with a five. The majority of the players we have suit it so unless we are bringing in quite a few before the end of the week I don’t think it makes sense to change. We have seen that we can be solid with a five earlier this year. To try and get back to that I would go for:
RWB: Ramsay/Clarke RCB: Burke/Clarke CB: Jones LCB: Bell / NEW SIGNING LWB: Chambers / NEW SIGNING.That relies on three things: some injury prone players staying fit, one player rediscovering his form and us bringing in a left footed defender who can cover two positions. Not sure which if those is least likely…1 -

Agree with this but if we get the left sided signing right then that will hopefully also mean we can add Apter back in to RWBelbiglad said:I think we have to stick with a five.
