Jakemoore Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Doubt it. Our defensive numbers are already decent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Doubt it. Our defensive numbers are already decent! Now thats never stopped Pearson now has it! I actually think he might be looking for cover if we are offloading/ loaning out SSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Hahahahahaa Liam Moore, Ritchie De Laet, Marcin Wasilewski and even St Ledger can play there? It he was a left back it might be believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one is a natural right back. Wasilewski is a massive liability in the position and if De Laet isn't available I would like to keep the Morgan, Moore partnership in the centre. St Ledger isn't even worth mentioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Ledger isn't even worth mentioning Only De Laet is natural, yeah, but Moore does an excellent job when needed. Then you've got another two players as back up if required. Can't see the point in buying another right back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Bit versatile isnt he? Can play adequately along the whole right side. Young as well yes? Would be cheaper and easier to prise away than that moses odubajo bloke from orient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to split it up no. But if De Laet was to get injured I'd feel more comfortable with Moore at RB than Wasilewski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 I think there is room for an extra fullback on both sides, and if this guy has good potential and is affordable then why not? We've got four centre-backs in Moore, Morgan, Wasyl and Miquel, so it makes sense to sign cover for both fullbacks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Odabajo's a winger though versatile right sided player. Predominantly a winger but usually now wide players being brought through some academies can play fullback on their wing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 If Pearson thought this lad was better than what we've already got it wouldn't matter how many players we'd got in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Depends if they play like they did against Bolton much more.those games come and go with huge scores, get over it. Look at arsenal, had one of the top defences in prem then got battered by city and conceded 6. Southampton had the best defensive record in europe at the start of the season, then conceded 3 against chelsea.fact is, there are always going to be big scoring games, the important thing is that we win them, like we did against Bolton. Moore and Morgan more than made up for the 3 goals conceded by keeping clean sheets in the vital games against reading and qpr. in fact, that bolton game could prove to be beneficial because the defence wont want to perform like that ever again.

LCCFox96 Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 We need more substantial right back cover - Ie. Someone whose natural position is at right back. I agree with everything above about wasilewski (who is solid cover/starter at centre back but not right back) and the Moore/Morgan partnership. SSL will be gone by January, whether that be one loan and then on a free or for a fee this month (could see him going back to PNE). So if this guy is cheap and half decent it makes sense to do a deal. Also I can see RDL getting injured again before the end of the season a)because he puts a big shift in so fatigue injuries b) it's Sod's law our only natural right back would be injured again in the season Would not surprise me if Morgan goes back to Forest. Thankfully Hobbs has done well so hopefully they'll blow a large chunk of their budget on him while competing with Wigan for his signature. Then hopefully he'll sign a new deal with us.

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 8 January 2014 Share Posted 8 January 2014 Would not surprise me if Morgan goes back to Forest. I doubt they'd need him to be honest. I imagine they'll sign Hobbs on a permanent this month and they've got Lascalles and Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
