[Albion] Left back cover

[Perkino]

We obviously have both Suttner & Bong regularly playing in the starting line up but hardly ever on the bench.

What would be the solution if we lost a left back during the match to injury or a sending off.

We obviously need substitutes on the bench to change the game and a plan B but left back seems to be overlooked. Can anyone cover there if required

Play 3 CB's

Probably this. Or play Schelloto out of position. Got to be slightly more comfortable than playing right wing for him.

If we are really down to bare bones for left back, perhaps Solly March in the role, similar to Ashley Young?

I'm not convinced it would be the time to trial such a set up having lost a player to injury but it is an interesting idea

 

[GT49er]

You can't necessarily cover for every position with substitutes. Until Kayal returned to fitness, we'd have struggled to replace Stephens or Propper in CM if either of them had been injured. Bruno, Schelotto, Goldson or Hunnemeier would fill in at left back, I guess.

Izquierdo? Pacier and stronger in the tackle

Who ?

If Hunemier is on the bnch I think he would come on as left bacjk but if Goldson he would probably slip in to right back with Bruno moving across. The problem comes if 1 is out ionjured and the other gets injured or sent off in a game.

With SM, I'd use his excellent tracking back against Burke, at the West Brom game, outstanding.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Are these covers available from the club shop and can you get one for any position or just left back?

 

[Invicta]

Sure Bruno has played LB for us in last few years occasionally

The problem is there doesn't appear to be a plan B.
