AllBoro10 2,232 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It’s clear a signal of intent though, he doesn’t wanna be playing a right footer in that position in the first game of the season, that’s clear. I would expect us to bring a left sided centre back in very soon. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us signing a young one and an established one reading that Link to post Share on other sites

Bola is definitely good enough to fill in at times. Sounds like Wilder will be content with him covering at LCB as well. Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope we go back in for Greaves at Hull once the Spence sale goes through but guess it will depend on how much they’ve quoted us for him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

So with the signing of Lenihan and Wilder making it clear he wants a LCB what does this mean for Djiksteel, McNair and Fry? Lenihan will take one of the CB spots and a new LCB will take one of the other spots? Link to post Share on other sites

Think he just wants more completion/rotation so may be a case of either fry & Lenihan and either Dijksteel or McNair for example. I agree I wouldn’t be surprised to see us try get two left sided CB to compete one experienced and one younger. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When Paddy played rcb on Saturday he was okay but when Dijksteel played the second half in that role he was much better and linking up with Izzy. Obviously it was Bishop Auckland but I still think Anth looked more suited to the role 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We had a couple of links with players in that position (Chalobah I think?) ages ago, but we haven't seen any for ages. It may be that we want to try one of McNair or Dijksteel there.

Pork Slops 576 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 "Paddy McNair generally lined up as the left of the Teessiders’ three centre-halves last season, but the Northern Irishman is more naturally right-footed and is set to compete with Anfernee Dijksteel for the right-hand side centre-half spot next term" Taken from the Echo article on the same topic, they seem convinced it's either Dijksteel or Paddy.

That's not from Wilder's mouth like the other section is though, that's just the Northern Echo writers opinion which is about as good as anyone's on here... with some notable exceptions 🤠 2 Link to post Share on other sites
