The club are watertight with transfer dealings. Bausor, Scott and Gibbo don't go round spreading rumours to their mates. Maybe they just don't have any mates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to flashscores, these have been all of our starting back 4s this season. This includes both cups but not any substitutions (cba with that). Beside each line up tells you how many times we have seen it this season. 29 games played. 13 different combinations. I know we have had injuries but that is ridiculous to me. Ayling Clarke vdb Engel x3 Dijksteel Clarke howson Engel Ayling Hunt Clarke McCormick Dijksteel Ayling Clarke Neto Ayling Edmundson Clarke Neto x6 Ayling Edmundson Dijksteel Neto Ayling vdb Edmundson Neto x5 Dijksteel vdb Edmundson Neto x2 Ayling Edmundson Clarke Dijksteel Dijksteel Fry Edmundson Neto x3 Dijksteel Edmundson Clarke Neto Dijksteel vdb Fry Neto x2 Dijksteel Edmundson Clarke Engel Thanks (for finding it interesting and for doing the work haha) no it just occurred to me the other day when I was thinking about our good run need of last season we had a settled CB pairing of VDB and Clarke most weeks and Ayling and Engel usually and noticed this season we have changed a lot. I know some is injuries but surely it has some effect when players are chopping and changing so much be interesting to know results when we played the 4 of Ayling Clarke vdb Engel x3 I think our best combo would be Dijksteel, VDB, Clarke, Borges Edited January 11 by Riverside94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle_rico 453 530 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Do we need another centre back? Unless we’re selling Clarke as was mentioned the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman 29 23 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) It was widely rumoured at the start of the window 3 players had asked to leave and Boro wasn’t going to stand in their way. Jones has gone and Dieng and Clarke won’t be far behind so a keeper and centre back are top priorities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's on a daft wage, which I doubt he is, I'd extend and sell in the summer if he's still struggling. Seems pointless to sell a back-up CB now and have to bring in another back-up CB on loan, and then have to sign another back-up CB in the summer, at a time when we could already quite possibly be having to sign a new first choice CB if van den Berg is sold. Churn for the sake of it, unless it's Clarke actually pushing for the move, which would be fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't play for another side after playing for Ipswich this season Let’s see what happens this week. It does sound odd, but what I was told (if true) would make sense for why he’d be leaving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond_Boro 44 47 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I get the feeling we aren’t going to be making any major signings this window unless ELL leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
