Are we saying that Micky Haswell is out of the picture then? I think what happens with him will influence what happens with Richards & Mayo.

Presume so. Didn't look at all good against Worthing, could have fitted into the Worthing side nicely but not a league LB sadly.

Apologies if this option has already been mentioned but it seems to me we have loads of cover in the centre of defence so how about Lynch at LB. I have always rated him and he has the advantage of being naturally left footed. He also has a bit of pace and reads the games fairly well. The only slight worry I would have is his slight lapses of concentration at times. I know a few others on the board have probably seen him on the odd occasion he played LB and may have a more informed opinion1

Joel Lynch at Left back cost us the game against Mansfield in FA cup. He was woeful but maybe to do with confidence?

 

[Caveman]

But if that's the case, why offer Mayo a contract too?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Caveman]

If we signed him and complete the Currie deal, then I will think we have a decent squad ready to make a go of promotion.

Ahem to that!

I don't think he was well that day. There was a flu bug or something like that going around the squad if i remember correctly.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Gotta keep Hinsh as if he does come through this time he will be the best FB we got.
Gatting looked a damn sight sharper today than i have ever seen him.
Robinson just dosen't cut it anymore
I reckon Adams might just be able to turn Loft around?
Dixon needs to be shipped out

Hinshlewood was never a full back.

Correct. He had also just come back from injury. Also the whole defence was a shambles in that game (with no protection from the equally dire midfield), it wasn't all Lynch's fault.

Sorry did mean CB but was half asleep at that time of the night

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Being in Turkey means that I don't usually have sources but......

a mate of mine connected with the tractor boys has told me a little about this. First altho we are interested there are others. Secondly supposedly Richards is thinking twice about the Albion because of the change of management. Dont know what that means.... liked Wilkins?... thought the way it was handled was bad etc? just that its made him more cautious. Also suggested that loan and signing are different and will want good wages.

Its a source... how reliable I dont know but there is some logic to it.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Totally agreed the LB position is the only one that is worrying me at the mo

Sorry total ballshit. the other position I'm clearly worried about is another striker option. Because at this moment in time, all we've got is Gatting and Dixon!

I thought that he looked 0k in the first half and would be worth a longer trial. Comfortable on the ball, his distribution was good and he is naturaly left footed.

OK they are both way below standard but at least we have cover there

No we aint got cover, maybe Virgo. But we quite clearly need another option.....

Agree we need cover there but we need a LB first

Who would you play LB then?

 

[BensGrandad]

Do not want to see Virgo mplayed up front he is ok to push up for the last 10 mins in search of a goal but not for the whole game.

Our best left back option at the moment is Haswell and Mayo. Unless one of those reputed premiership players is a left back no not Wayne Bridge or Ashley Cole

I would take Richards again, but we need to put a reasonable offer for him. Because Magilton, clearly aint going to send him out on loan again. Because he wants rid of the players he doesn't want.

I know we are in discussions with him but have no idea how it's progressing

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i may be wrong, but i think mcleod can also play as a striker? might've just made that up though
