Uncle-Festa 478 295 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Anyone know what type of RB Alfie Gilchrist is? Is he more defensive minded or an attacking type of RB? Went to Sheff Utd last season and started well but then struggled to get in to team. Kessler Hayden would be my first choice but he appears out of our or ice range. Jimmy Dunne on a free from QPR looks good but given we now looking more for a RWB he probably does not suit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get forward and he scored for Chelsea for example, but I think he is more of a defensive minded fullback. Kesler-Hayden is more attack minded for sure, and its worth mentioning as its probably went under the radar, KKH was the right back for half a season at Plymouth when Whittaker was performing well and scoring lots of goals. He got recalled in the January and Whittakers output dropped a bit. 13 goals 5 assists before Jan, 6 goals 2 assists after, it might be completely coincidental obviously, but then again it might not. We all seen Whittaker needs a fullback supporting him and making outside runs to make space for him to cut inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then Mumba seems like a cheaper, viable option. Both of them are attack-minded overlapping right-backs and both have played alongside Whittaker so it would be part of our rebranding as Plymouth-on-Tees.

But as @Adam P said, definitely more of a Full Back. Reads the game well though, and not afraid to throw a tackle in. Would certainly work on the right of a back 3 as well as a right FB.

BelgianBoro 999 751 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 When the enemy seeks the goal, deny him the space. Place all eleven upon the high ground, and build your fortress there. To yield no ground is not cowardice, but strategy — for the greatest victory is won not by attack, but by impenetrable silence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing he had around a goal every 2 games just can’t remember for what team Yeah banged at least 10 in for stoke and sure he did 4 in one game. That's why thought was off wilder got nowt out of it. But from some the striker's he bought in the prem first time , and the way he handled our striker's and some of the duff 1s he wanted, I've come to the conclusion he is terrible with picking and using them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaCider24 18,385 23.4k Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 They'd be lucky to get half that. They turned down more than he was worth in January because they were in the automatic spots and Luton were desperate. They've not got that same situation now.
