Is there a shortage of decent left backs in the league as I noticed that Coventry have taken Chris Hussey from AFC Wimbledon on an initial loan deal until January. Didnt we look at him or try to sign him?

Is this meant for 'Ask the Club'? Didn't we trial a left back from them a while ago? I am sure I saw an AFC Womble turn out for us vs Worthing at the start of last season.

We've already picked up one shit left back from non league, don't need another.

Excellent support for one of our newest signings, you should feel so proud of yourself. As usual, your comments about our players are pathetic and bordering on disgraceful.
We're actually quite strong at left back when we have both McNulty and Wright fit, they're very different options to have there and imo, that's a good thing. You'll get injuries along the way, and that's why Adam El-Abd is here. We have players who can cover, and personally, I like both McNulty and Wright. Obviously, McNulty is the better left back individually and I think Wright looked better in the centre of defence.

I noticed this too, they've also signed a striker on loan from Carlisle 
What's going on up there? A bit early to be giving up on the season surely

Nah, we had Michael Haswell on trial. No idea where he is now though!

Hasweel wasnt on loan he was on trial. As for coventrys signings, possible rumblings of a cash shortage??

One of the most bizarre signings of the season that. 5th choice striker in a season where we can't hit a barn door, although PROLIFIC at reserve & Youth level, he's sent to Coventry on loan (with a view of a permanent move..) to play some games....BAFFLING. ABBOTT OUT

Isnt Wright actually a centre back by trade who can FILL IN at left back, like Virgs can fill in on the wing?

correct - crawleys first choice left back is a certain sam rents, who has also played for the england 'c' side since leaving us
the fact that we spent a large amount of money on a centre back who at best can only fill in at left back was certainly a strange one - especially when he was never going to be first choice once mcnulty returned to the side, and we already had a plethora of centre backs
Not so strange really! - isn't it exactly what our transfer policy has always been for the last few years?
Is it any stranger than bringing in bucket loads of midfielders that are no better than what we've already got? And still not an attacking CM among them, or one who can take a game by the scruff of the neck!

As I have said before he was panic buy as we didnt have a fit left back. I would have sooner we resigned Sam Rents as I think that he is better.
Yes, but that would mean someone admitting to a cock up.

Not really, since we've changed manager (twice) and chairman since Rents was let go.

i was surprised when we let rents go to be honest as i thought he was pretty good- cracking left foot on him
another surprise was letting sonny cobbs go, he was very highly rated although having said that he hasn't done much since leaving us so maybe we were right

Rents was a shite left back, from what I saw. He may be doing well at Conference and England C, but that is different from this league. Far too lightweight to hold his own.
He may have had a sweet left foot, but that was all. In my opinion.
