[Football] Full back Situation

[AmexRuislip]

Veltman or Igor at LB and Webster at RB

 

[tigertim68]

Why not start 3 centre backs then we play wing backs , might be an option

 

[Whitechapel]

If Moder has returned to full fitness didn’t he play LWB a few times under Potter?

To be fair, who didn't play wing back under Potter?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A Brylcream tart, I wasn’t born then.

Was that in the 64/65 team that clocked up cricket scores?

65-71

Can you imagine how many passing sequences RDZ will have to re- draw, and then re-train into all the players in just a few days if he suddenly decided to change his system?

Good point

 

[prawnsarnies]

If Dan Burn can play left back then Adam Webster perhaps could play right back. At least I'd hope the club try this in training. He's got more chance of getting a game there than at centre back at the moment. Might take some pressure off Veltman and Lamptey and help them fill in at left back. Maybe Samuels from U21s will get some games at left back.

Omg please No, defo doesn't have the skill to play RB. When we bought Igor it said he could play LB so no brainer.

Full fitness ?
He hasn’t played 1 minute for 18 months, won’t be in first team until 2024, after several U21?run outs at some point hopefully

What about this atom bloke or Samuel's, can't be any worse than milner at least.

 

[Lethargic]

I’m certain we did on a couple of occasions under Potter with a combination of 4 from 5 of Dunk, Duffy, Webster, Burn and Veltman starting a game or two.

I'm sure there was one game we finished with 6 centre backs on the pitch

 

[Goldstone1976]

Some understatement, Veltman’s the best defensive FB I’ve seen for us in 48 seasons.

Well quite.

Explain Milner starting where he did today for me then please?

 

[The Wookiee]

I might be wrong but I don’t think the mighty atom has played much for the development team.
Samuels I reckon will be on the bench v Ajax and v Fulham

 

[Weststander]

Well quite.

To save JV for a game over 5 days away

RDZ rotation; likes to find what players can't do as well as what they can. On evidence do far, JM has done quite a lot to fulfil the first requirement, and not a lot for the second. There's a player in there somewhere, but we ain't found it yet.

Okay as one of CM three.

Awful as a FB, too old. Maldini was the exception that proved the rule.

Um , Dan Burn is now at Newcastle ?

 

[seagullwedgee]

I’m really not sure we’ll see Perv before Boxing Day at least.

Almost, are you forgetting the "football genius"
Veltman is very good, but I would put Bridge just ahead.

Brilliant too, a Ferrari of a player. Imho would’ve won countless caps if it hadn’t been for world class Ashley Cole.

Yes, just like quality slabhead who has blocked all of young Dunks caps!
