p_mards 1,365 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Oh great that probably our 2 first choice CB's our out injured :( Gibson will be needed to step in yet again. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,942 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Gutted... and suddenly we're looking a little thin in the position that was best stacked a couple of weeks ago! Lets hope Woody can get a run of games like the start of the season. There's always Karanka if needs be ;) Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 woody could still be out at the weekend so it could be gibbo and hines Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Woodgate, Gibson, Omeruo, Chalobah and Hines can all play there, we should be ok until Ayala is back Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We'll be in terms of numbers, but potentially not in terms of quality. Relying on three U21s and Hines IS not an ideal scenario by any stretch of the imagination! Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 1,000 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 If Woody's not at full fitness, then Omeruo and Gibson for me. Omeruo looks a similar kind of player to Ayala (big and physical) and Gibson and Given are very vocal and will make sure he is in the right place and doing the right things for the team. Would feel more confident with him there than Hines who is probably also not at a great level of fitness. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I doubt it but does Burgess have a recall clause?. We should be ok I suppose as Woodgate, Gibson and Omeruo are good options. Hines and Chalobah ok options. I think we will struggle without Ayala as he is our most unique CB as we don't have anyone with his aerial ability. Link to post Share on other sites
L3 UTB 7 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 -----------------Given---------------- Varga----Omeruo----Ayala---Friend ------Chalobah-----Leadbitter------- Adomah------Ledesma------Carayol ---------------Graham--------------- Scrappy 1-0 win, Up the boro Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Woodgate is fit for tomorrow and fortunately so is Adomah. I'm more than happy with a Woodgate/Gibson partnership. My team would line up as follows: Given Omeruo Woodgate Gibson Friend Leadbitter Chalabah Adomah. Ledesma Carayol Graham Link to post Share on other sites

But we have to change things we didnt want to so thats not good Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I still think we've got enough strength in depth at centre half. We have four options with the possibility of a fifth in Friend. Can Burgess be recalled? Link to post Share on other sites

boroinbishop 65 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 KARANKA OUT :p In all seriousness though, why does he keep picking main? Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Main must have a picture of Karanka in a compromising position.... :p Link to post Share on other sites
