"KM" 1,653 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Omeruo and Ayala or Gibson for me. Think it's time for Woody to take a back seat, we need a consistent back four Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,384 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Agree with KM on this. We need a consistent partnership and woody, as good as he is, is only ever going to be in and out of the side. Link to post Share on other sites
Barumaru 3 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I agree too. I am a big fan of Woodgate, he's still a classy defender who wins nearly every header but his injuries :( I would rather have a settled back line. Link to post Share on other sites
London_born_Boro_bred 29 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Some bod called agent boro on twitter saying we will offer 2m plus Butterfield to Forest for Lansbury. Also that we have accepted 2m for Steele from Stoke. Total crap I reckon, but I wouldn't be happy with that Lansbury deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Can we not just swap Lansbury for Leadboots? :D Link to post Share on other sites

Was on the Forest forum that Wigan had offered 2mil for Lansbury and Forest just laughed it off. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Woody will start every Saturday if fit. Might be on the bench for the midweek games, injuries permitting. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thing is when he is in and out of the defence each week it can unsettle them so much. Its vital to have a settled defence. He is our best CB though Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yep. If I were Gibson and wasn't selected as first choice - given the partnership I'd forged with Omeruo last season - I'd be tempted to ask for a transfer... Omeruo has even said he wants to move to develop his partnership with Gibson further... Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I get settled lineup argument, but if one of our less talented defenders is in the lineup and makes a mistake that woody wouldn't have made had he been playing and it costs us 2 points... and we miss the play offs by one... for me the best players play if they're fit. Its karankas job to make the wholr thing seemless if the best players cant play and a replacement has to come in. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 for me the best players play if they're fit. Yep. Gibson and Omeruo ;) Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 No way will woodgate be a 1st choice. It will be omeruo and Ayala if he comes back. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 And I think the defense looks a lot more solid with Woody in as a whole Link to post Share on other sites

Its karankas job to make the wholr thing seemless if the best players cant play and a replacement has to come in. true but under mogga when we were struggling so much at the back I would say it was mainly down to not having a settled back 5. This doesnt mean we will have the same problems with a different squad and manager but its surely better to keep the same team as much as possible. Ability wise surely woody is our best CB but with the fantastic partnership Omerou and gibson have made, its a very tough call for the manager Link to post Share on other sites
