Hi All, I'm definitely not an ITK! I infrequently get the odd snippet on match days. 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?

I thought this was an interesting question so I have done a bit of research. 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

1-0 vs Swansea

0-1 vs Derby

 

Must have made a mistake somewhere. Those are the only 2 I can find now

🚨 | Hjalmar Ekdal is set to depart Burnley on loan.

Middlesbrough are one of a number of Championship clubs in talks over a deal.

He linked 3 clubs, the usual rule is 3 or more clubs and its agent trying to get the club linked to hurry up

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.

Clarke and Edmundson both will be gone at the end of the season, I presume we might sell Clarke now before his contract expires 

There's the option of a year there with Clarke, no need to sell now.

They is the bloke can’t move, it’s painful watching him 

He's on the bench right now.

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.

 Like I told you before, where? 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.
