Dodd seriously injured

[B.W.]

... this only emphasises the need to sign a first-choice lb, and cd cover... the thought of Kerry coming back gives me great cause for concern...

I think it does mcghee too, he would rather play midfielders ahead of him

He has selected him when fit.

We do need a left footer there, a couple of times on Monday the play got slowed down as Reid had to get the ball on his right foot.

Did not get banged up then?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Alas no i didnt - all tho there was some dodge 41 year old action at one point

Can someone please advise me why Adam El Abd is not currently being considered for the RB position ? We've had Paul Reid and OGH filling in, with Bomber on the bench...whats he done wrong ?

I didn't go, but my understanding was that he didn't quite impress against Shrewsbury?

Reid is more of a "fill-in" now surely? McGhee has recently said that RB is now his best position.

And I would have thought very few people could argue with OGH's performance the other day?

Agreed re Reid and OGH... conclusion: we need to sign a 1st-choice lb, or we will be consistently viewing Kerry being outpaced by opposing players...

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).

McGhee won't let El-Abd go out on loan, yet will play a striker at right back ahead of him?

Odd.

As cover at centre-back, as explained in the Argus today.

They hadn't updated their online edition this morning.

Did it say who wanted to take him on loan?

 

[Yorkie]

El Abd didn't shine at centre back against Woking either.
He will be useful on the bench though.
I have been impressed with OGH at right back.

That will disappear very quickly against quality opposition, hope MM re-organises the defence for the Leeds game.

He came on at Derby and coped although it wasn't for long.
Reid was at left back for that one.

Sorry Yorkie as much as I admire your rose-tinted visions Harty in defence against quality forwards = serious problems IMHO.

Adam El-Abd had some damn fine games last season. IMHO he looks the most accomplished of the juniors coming through. Well, apart from Jake The Messiah. Obviously. Not surprised the current manager won't let him go out on loan. As to why he put OGH in the right back slot ahead of AE-A, well only McGhee and his Attack Poodle London Irish know that for sure. Obviously.

And the other 6,200 people at Monday's game, natch - which I thought included you!

we were mullered down the flanks by shrewsbury

i think hart looks a good bet at right back - ok, plymouth were very poor, but based on current form i would still have him over el abd
