SmogInSheff 66 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Boro have just confirmed that Damia Abella has done his Anteria Cruciate Ligaments and could be out for 6 months!! Are people happy for Fredericks to be our number one with Nsue as cover or do you think we should enter the loan market for a new RB? Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 @PTallentireGaz: Abella out for up to 6 months Karanka confirms. #boro story to follow. Massive massive blow he was settling in so well. I think we may go into the loan market for another right back now. #PrayForAbella :( Link to post Share on other sites
robbieboro 80 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Very disappointing news , he really started to look good last few games , not sure what AK will do now ? Fredericks or will nsue play there. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think Fredericks will play there but could we really rely on him for 6 months? What if he gets injured? Link to post Share on other sites
DonnySmog 9 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bad news, looked a quality right back and will be missed. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,238 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Shame. Started slowly but just got going last two games. Fredericks is supposed to be pretty pacy. Let's hope he can defend. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Gutted for guy. Not sure we will go in for another rb. Fredricks, nsue and Bennett haven't got much experience with us but what's the point of bringing in another player when we have three. Just a thought, luke young on a short term deal anyone?!?!

"KM" 1,653 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Can't James Husband play right back as well? Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Shame. Started slowly but just got going last two games. Fredericks is supposed to be pretty pacy. Let's hope he can defend. The word from millwall fans is he was quick, decent at attacking but a bit dodgy defending. Sure I read somewhere that he's a winger converted to fullback. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Believe he can, as can Omeruo, so there's 5 players. No need to go in for another. Link to post Share on other sites
Armster 29 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 can't see the need for another player, we hve freddy, Atkinson, Bennett both can do a job for any short term cover, if freddy gets injured long term then we can get someone in Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Personally I think we should be looking at getting someone else in if there's anyone available. Fredricks is just a kid and there's an awful lot of games in the next 6 months. Obviously if there's no one available that is better than the kids we have, I wouldn't bother but if there is we should definitely be in for them. Lowton? Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Fredericks, Nsue, Omeruo, Husband, Bennett, Atkinson. Absolutely no need to get cover, that is more than enough to see us through. Also, if you're good enough, you're old enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Only Fredricks is a natural full back with any experience though. You don't seriously want to go back to square pegs again? Because thats what it'll be in case of any suspensions/injuries/loss of form. You don't get promoted playing players out of position. Karanka also said he wanted competition in all positions, we now don't have any at right back for 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We can't just replace players if they get injured with loans and transfers. The whole point of getting competition was surely partly so we didn't have to do that? Say when Husband is fit, Friend gets injured. Do we then have to go and get a LB? What happens if someone else gets injured, do we go and replace them too? We already have 5 loanees on the books as well which means any replacement would likely be a transfer. Can we really afford to bring anyone else in? We have 6 players who can cover the role, 3/4 have more than enough experience there to warrant not bringing anyone else in.
