Borodane 6,246 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Daniel Ayala & Dael Fry are out for the season Fry has torn his hamstring and will be out for 12-weeks What a blow for Fry. Could miss a large part of pre season unless 12 weeks means back to full fitness. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Letting Danny batth go after not using him in favour of flint looks like a huge error now - especially since stoke are saying batth is their player of the season despite only being there 3 months. By not having any full backs weve screwed up massively. Only one man to blame for that one. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 we'll have to play shotton flint cb's mcnair and saville fullbacks. downing right midfield tav left with x2 cm's and britt fletch up top. but we wont we'll play x3 cb's still with howson playing rwb i bet. with mcnair as cb maybe.

Every club pulis goes to he sheds the team of natural full backs and replaces them with centre backs. This is his philosophy, not gibsons. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Could be any number of factors re batths decision to be fair. Though I doubt hed have wanted to go to stoke if he was playing here given the two clubs situations. He was on a year long loan, he could have stayed if he wanted to. Anyway, the main issue with all of this is the fullback one. Every one of us said at the start of the season and again in January that one full back to cover 2 positions for a 50plus game season is ridiculous and we done nothing about it, because pulis is happy to shove any old player out there.

I was told that a new RB was one of pulis main areas he wanted filling in January. Yet Gibson and he’s mates in the recruitment department failed to bring any in. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yeah I find that very difficult to believe. It might be true, but everything in his career to date both with us and before suggests that full back is a position he just fills with the biggest lads he cant get into the team elsewhere. He played woodgate there for christ's sake! Weve had not one, not two but three centre midfielders play in fullback roles this season, it's actually crazy when you think about it.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Uncharacteristicaly he’s failed to buy enough CBs though! Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Well we have two injured and had another on loan, that was more than enough had shotton been used in his actual position. In fact were still fine for CB this weekend with shotton and flint (not that I rate either), it's the full back positions where we literally have no one. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Do we have any decent Academy CB's that could be brought in for the final few games? Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Not only have we lost 2 CB's we've lost our 2 best CB's, because Ayala & Fry buy and sell Flint & Shotton as defenders. Link to post Share on other sites
