dpjfox Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 Lets hear SSL news first, i i would imagine NP had Morgan/ZW pencilled in as his first choice pairing so no panic just yet, id obviously like to see Zak involved in the remaining friendlies and maybe Taft given 45 mins (it seems Parkes /Boulger are ok but last resort), we have RDL Pelts James as emergency but if not Morgan with Zak or SSL i think NP will loan a player, we must start the season well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmos Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 Peltier and De Laet can cover every position in defence. James can apparently slip in when required as well. Morgan, St Ledger and Whitbread I have confidence in at centre half but I still believe we need another centre back, probably on a season-long loan really, just incase. St Ledger went off yesterday and Whitbread does have a record of getting injured. I can cover at centre back but that doesn't mean i'd be any good at it-peltier can't even stay in position when he plays in his own position, what makes you think he'll be any good at centre half?

Peltier had no cover at right back. I'm not saying he's any good at centre half, I said he can play there, just like other players in the squad. I've never seen Peltier at centre half for Leicester, but it can be an advantage having a few versatile players within the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy1981 Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 De Laet and James can play CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 Craig Dawson on loan, or is Anthonny Gerrard still available on a free transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeCurnock91 Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 I went longslade with taft he good but first team, doubt it but as sub for back up sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 I can see us lining up like this in defence next season. De Laet Morgan Whitbread Konchesky We could possibly loan another centre back on a short term deal however De Laet can play CB so who knows. This for me too with Moore at right back should Whitbread/Morgan/De Laet get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 2 August 2012 Share Posted 2 August 2012 Also, I've heard that James can cover at right-back... not sure about centre-back. I'm sure NP will get the defence right, he has where ever he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swalker Posted 3 August 2012 Share Posted 3 August 2012 SSL injured. Leaves us whitbread and morgan as only out and out first team CB's. I know we have players who can play there but it isn't there primary position. Another CB required or will we be ok with our youth and versatile players as cover?

Another CB is required throwing in rookies in the deep end will not be good enough against championship opposition of a high caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta-fc Posted 3 August 2012 Share Posted 3 August 2012 I'd say it was a massive concern ZW has averaged 25% starts completed a season due to injury Morgans way too slow, St Ledger is injured and Taft is untested... Not to mention we're leaking more goals in preseason than the Titanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdinho Posted 3 August 2012 Share Posted 3 August 2012 Why is everyone saying are young defenders aren't good enough without letting them have a few games in the league? Our youth team do well every year so why do most people think they can't make the step up? We should be getting behind any lad who pulls on the shirt and I don't see why Pearson would be getting Taft and the other young lads to play in pre-season games if he thinks that they don't have a chance to cut it in the league one day.

jock2612 Posted 9 August 2012 Author Share Posted 9 August 2012 I think this situation is becoming a problem that unless addressed urgently could damage the start of the season. I know Tunch had been injured but we sold/released 3CBs,have another out for at least 8 weeks,and 1 replacement who is STLL unfit ( and has a terrible injury record)Moore prefers RB and if he has to play CB we have no RB cover with the sale of LP.I cannot believe that NP has let this situation arise,even without SSL injury we were short,and with the sale of LP his transfer spending is neutral,CB position is key and I think in this instance he may actually have spend some money to sort it out sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
