All sorts of difficult choices for the manager to make. To start with, Webster. He's predominantly right footed, so an obvious choice for RCB. Last season he got moved to the left to accommodate White at RCB (or so it seemed) where he did extremely well. I think that he has even said he prefers the LCB role (think I read that somewhere - needs confirmation). So, do we now have an excess of LCBs? - Webster, BDB and Roberts. Even Dunk, I seem to remember, used to play the LCB in a back four.
Given that Duffy is only likely to play in the centre of a three, does that only leave Veltman as a player who prefers the RCB position? I guess Webster will be the obvious choice, even if it isn't his preferred option - I'm sure he's got the ability to adapt to anywhere in a back three or four..
So, first choice - Webster, Dunk and ? BDB, or how close is Roberts to a break through - or does he need a season, or even half a season, in the Championship frst?
The problem that he has is that there's no vacancy. He could play in the championship all he likes, but displacing one of our first choice defenders is going to be very very tough.
Same goes for Ostigard, Clarke, Van Hecke and others who we're going to have to make a decision on
