Didn't see much wrong with Harty there the other day, although he didn't have much threat from Pltymouth!

Seems a natural long term move for him though. Hasn't got the pace he used to have, decent tackler and he's had plenty of experience defensively as he was always doubling up with the full back in the matches where we were under pressure i.e. most of them.

Like El Abd too, but surely it's good that there's a bit of competition for places?

BW, of course we need a new leftback, but you should be fair enough to admit that Kerry has not been embarrassed thus far (and neither has Reid come to that).

Errr... he looked like a statue several times against the pacey Reading attack, for example...

Agree with all of that... the problem is that there are many who can play well at rb, but, IMHO, none in our squad who can do the same at lb... personally, I would stick with Reid, as opposed to our one 'lb specialist' Kerry...
