[Albion] Centre back combination

[*Gullsworth*]

So who do you want to partner Dunk first game next season?

 

[Thompson720]

White and Webster. Have it as a back 3 though

 

[Chicken Run]

Virgil van Dijk

 

[djentist]

Webster to begin with. He had to be patient to dislodge Duffy at the start of the season but took his chance well when he got it. I think it will be a similar case with White

 

[WATFORD zero]

I suspect back 3. Dunk, Webster, Burn/White depending on pre-season performances

 

[The Wizard]

Webster. The adjustment in quality between the championship and this league, particularly for defenders is really tough, as Webster himself found out after being the best defender in the championship la at year. White has had a fantastic season, but don’t get carried away on hype, he’s young and unproven.

That being said I like it when we play 3 at the back and press as we did against Southampton, but fitness meant we couldn’t sustain it.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Big Dan Burn for me. Towering defender who is getting steadily better.

 

[Stat Brother]

On the one hand we have a discussion about centre back combination.

Yet

On the other hand we have GPott selecting the centre back combination.



Good luck chaps but I feel even for NSC this is a futile exercise.

 

[lawros left foot]

I think White is destined to be a DMF for us, a position that we don’t have the riches we do at CB. Leeds played him at CB cos they loaned him in to fill that position, we need him to fill a different position. He would still be cover for CB, if needed. Also, his heading is said to be his weakness, DMF would negate that to a certain extent.

 

[Wozza]

3 x CB. Poll doesn't work.

 

[shingle]

D & D all the way for me.

It's almost certainly gonna be a back 5 next season:

................... Webster .... White .... Dunk .................
Lamptey ..................................................... New LB

 

[Seaber]

No option for Clarke?

Webster - Dunk - BDB for me. Hopefully White, Clarke or other youth players can make the step up to compete with Duffy.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Never seen White play. It would seem a bit of a leap of faith for him to get my vote.

 

[Giraffe]

White and Webster. Back three. All 3 are made for that.

 

[Giraffe]

It's almost certainly gonna be a back 5 next season:

................... Webster .... White .... Dunk .................
Lamptey ..................................................... New LB

Agreed but I would NOT rule out Dan Burn continuing to be the left back.

[Thompson720]

I must say, I would love to see either White or Webster try out the CDM role. White played the position the other day pretty seamlessly, but also Webster when he used to go on those marauding runs through midfield (City and Chelsea?)

 

[Swansman]

Think we will see more 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 next season so could be room for both Webster & White a lot of times. When playing a four man back line, I think Webster will be the no 1 choice next to Dunk at least initially.

I suspect back 3. Dunk, Webster, Burn/White depending on pre-season performances

I think this is the goal with Lam and Burn as wingbacks. I think we need to be better in midfield though to allow this to happen.
