BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) So we are back to having no natural wingers in the team for the foreseeable future 😞 Unless you count Johnson.. As mentioned, now need an attacker and a CB minimum. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,641 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Even without a new attacking signing, it highlights the desperate need for a CB. We can push McNair back in to midfield without dropping anyone. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I wonder if the deal for Roberts does have an extension on it for after this season. As he could potentially not be back until April which is a massive chunk if it was a short term deal. It might give a bigger opportunity for Nmecha to get a decent run though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 If Woodgate reverts to 4-4-3 it could be Nmecha and Fletcher either side of Britt. Not too bad but certainly missing the pace and trickery of Roberts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 On the bright side at least Robert's won't have time to impress so hopefully we will be able to get him for a full year next year 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianBoro 765 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Roberts impressed me in the short time he's been here and fit(ish) - let's already start negotiating with Citeh before the summer window opens. Hope we can get another player with a low centre of gravity (read short) before tomorrow evening as we're missing an exciting game changer.  Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ayala is six weeks too. I mean will he actually play for us again this season by the time his fitness is back up to speed? Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,047 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So we finally sign a half decent Winger in Roberts and he's out for 2 months 😩. Link to post Share on other sites

But highlights the need to get in fitter, younger CB's Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Regarding central defenders, Fry's injury was just a tightening wasn't it? Nothing too serious and the rest should have helped with that. Shotton and Friend will be back in the first team in time for the Barnsley game by the sounds of it. We'll only be missing Ayala at that point so we're not in as bad a position as it seems, whether we sign anyone or not.

Borodane 6,301 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Let's hope Roberts is 6 weeks counting from last Tuesday when he was injured. Link to post Share on other sites

Our two best performances of the season came before he signed and we haven't won a game that he's played in 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites
