Him, Stanger, Mcginty and, if we sign him permanently, Sanders give us very solid options. He’s got plenty of cover so I’m never bricking it when he’s out injured or away on international duty. It’s the lack of cover at full back that’s the issue at the back. We have the second worse defensive record this season and people are wanting the full defence re-signed for next season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be my starting left back for next season based on recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack semi competent full backs. Stanger and Sanders have looked good under Brown. Besides the odd brain fart, Mcginty is a solid enough player. And Musonda is a really good player at this level. We’re really weak in wide areas and that’s where most of the attacks are directed against us. Doesn’t help that our two wingers - who are both excellent going forward btw - don’t provide any protection for the full backs either. That’s been the case for the last two seasons.

It’s the lack of cover at full back that’s the issue at the back. Frankie is decent and maybe could be a first class sweeper if we go 3/5 at the back . He deffo has the touch and passing skills to play in behind two big lumps who like smashing everything . Its the missing 50% of our games that is the issue .... I guess we'll know how Brown feels about that pretty soon . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Musonda has been ganting every time I've seen him, his performance at LB earlier in the season at EEP was probably the worst I've seen from a full back this season. It'd be nice to try and exploit that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know we need big improvements in the full back areas, that's not under question. However, we lose so many goals from crosses by a) not being able to stop the cross and b) our centre halves not being capable of defending the six yard box. Morton goal in the 1-1 a prime example of centre halves not being able to close off their runners or get to the ball first. Stanger and one other is absolutely fine for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, he’s not a left back… 7 minutes ago, callum-ayr said: Oh I know we need big improvements in the full back areas, that's not under question.

Stopping crosses would be the job of a full back. Don’t see what’s objectionable about having Stanger, Mcginty(or sanders) and Musonda as our three CBs. Those three plus two good full backs and we’d be absolutely fine at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I wish we would kick off the rebuild with a bit of a marquee signing that will turn a few heads and a few further players our way. Now, I know this doesn’t always guarantees success, but what does in the championship other than the biggest budget? I feel it would be good for the fans and create a nice buzz that would get a few more season tickets sold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't slag Joe as it will upset some who are still in love after he found his level last season. They've still to realise even if the manager now appears to have, that he's not cut out for the 2nd tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
