Tom 2,492 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'd desperately be looking for a CB right now. Wood has not looked anywhere near ready when he's played. Link to post Share on other sites

RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If we're not signing a replacement I'd rather we kept Shotton. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Howson isn't a right back and Friend is essentially being shifted from left back because he's too decrepit now (no offence if you're reading this George ?) Having players who can fill in is all well and good but if you need them to fill in for months then it can be a problem. Still, absolutely the right thing to do ?? Coulson can play either side I think (but not 100% sure) and Howson as a back-up isn't the worst position to be in IMO. Rather a CB if a defender was coming in but much more preference is on the 1 more attacking player which could be huge for us. Link to post Share on other sites

If Shotton goes we literally have 2 senior Cb’s, one of which always gets injured. still lacking 2 attacking players imo, we have been crying out for wingers the last 2 years, for both sides. We’ve signed one in Browne who looks a quality player but we really need someone else. George was a CB before he joined us. If Wood, as a top academy prospect, can't be 4th or 5th choice, when is he going to ever get a chance? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Coulson looks very left footed to me and he's just starting out in the first team. I can't say I'd want to see him moved to right back at this stage but it's a lot of 'what ifs' of course. I think we still need a few players in. Link to post Share on other sites
