"KM" 1,653 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Batth indicates that we will definitely be playing with three central defenders and he will be first backup to Flint, Fry and Ayala. What's to say he won't go straight into the team? He's not going to be leaving the Wolves bench to come and sit on ours. You have to remeber it's a 46 game season so everyone will get the fair share of games. Link to post Share on other sites

You have to remeber it's a 46 game season so everyone will get the fair share of games. Maybe. We could be trying for both him, Puncheon and Adomah on the same time. Either we continue with mainly three at the back or we give ourselves the option of 4-3-3 depending on which players we get. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,211 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Didn't Pulis say we were covered for defenders other than needing a left back? Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Realistically we won't get 7 loans so we're probably getting Saville, Adomah and Batth I'm assuming Puncheon goes Villa and everyone's happy not sure how I feel about Adomah and Downing pencilled in the first team with the other options just being non existent it's... yeah I don't know how I feel about it.

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Didn't Pulis say we were covered for defenders other than needing a left back? Certainly did. Said we don't need anyone at centre-back. The only reason I can assume that would have changed is that either we're letting someone go or that was based on us not continuing to play 3/5 at the back.

Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Daily Mirror reporting Adomah heading to Teesside to finalise move. I hope it’s by private jet because the M1 on a Friday afternoon means he won’t be at Rockcliffe by 5pm believe me. Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Don't see us being in for Batth at all, we have 6 players who can cover the 2 or 3 CB slots already without wasting a loan slot. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'd have Batth, signed him for my boro FM team and he captained us to promotion haha Link to post Share on other sites

Another cb certainly points in the direction of sticking with the 3 at the back formation which is pullis changing his mind now that he hasn’t got players he wanted. Good actually that he can do that and go in a direction he might initially not have been comfortable with for the good of the team rather than being stubborn on a formation that wouldn’t work with our players.

I remember him mentioning that we needed someone to replace Gibson? Believe he followed that by saying Shotton can cover in there so he'd prefer a full-back. But we haven't signed anyone to play right-wing back either, unless he fancies Adomah there... Link to post Share on other sites
sambaDTR 260 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just a thought. If Puncheon does not come will it be Puncheon off?? Link to post Share on other sites
