MikeyBoro 373 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 We were much, much better defensively at the start of the season when Dijksteel was playing right centre back in a back 5 with spence as a wing back. Personally I’d go back to that formation once Fry is back 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Whoppy 593 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Here's a question for you all, as he's a fullback... Who is your favourite and least favourite fullback Boro have signed? (either flank) Loved Quedrue and Nsue in particular but I'm going for Geremi! Least favourite was Barragan, the way he couldn't take a throw in blew my mind! Link to post Share on other sites

I've preferred him at right back, so I hope not permanently. But it does give us more versatility and depth. Can play Dijksteel in two positions, can sub him for a more trusted defender. We'd manage okay in defence for the rest of the season as long as Bola stays fit. Link to post Share on other sites

"It’s been alluded to on here that Neil rates him, but those above don’t" "Depends on how good you think Darnell is. I just want someone that doesn’t have to be subbed every game due to being at risk of sending off." "Strange season... before we started we would have all agreed that; Fisher, Davies, Pearson, Johnson would all be first on the team sheet. We’re going in to the second half of the season without 3 of them..." Brilliant, thank you... no better gauge than the fans who watch him. No one seems thrilled about him going from there which is positive! Link to post Share on other sites

Somebody said earlier that Fisher has also played left back so he could be the perfect cover for either side Link to post Share on other sites

I would of said Geremi as I think he's the best loan signing we have ever made personally, but he played more RM Least favourite - Djed Spence 😂.TBF It's really Justin Hoyte but Spence reminds me so much of him. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Preston have mucked up on their player retention haven't they! Fisher, Davies, Johnson and Pearson all out of contract in the summer, all big players for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ziege was quality, but a bit of a snake. Spence as your least favourite right back of all time made me chuckle 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The fact that we're losing our best full back for *** all isn't something to celebrate IMO. The shambolic rumour of a replacement is even worse.

I'd guess that all but kills Spence's future here as a right-back. So it all but kills Spence's future here. Or he sees him further forward and Dijksteel at CB Link to post Share on other sites
