Saint Charlie Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 Would appear that we won't get anyone in and can understand why we feel we don't need to - some very good players are not even making the bench. I think we could absorb injuries in most areas, obviously if RL got injured it would be a blow but we have other good strikers. However, if Fonte or Hooiveld got injured now and were out for the season or for 5 games I think it would be a massive blow. Not only as defenders but as the first point of our attack. Martin is a solid defender but lacks composure on the ball. I wouldn't like him to be playing any crucial matches, he is still learning and has potential but is a way off Jose and Jos at the moment. Likewise could we expect Jaidi and Seaborne to come in for their first games of the season and be able to cope well enough? We are in such a strong position we should do all we can to get promoted, and for me we are still a CB light. If we can get someone in til the end of the season then we should. Thoughts?

Golden Balls Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 I agree that's the only place we seem to be lacking in terms of quality back up. I don't think Martin coming in would be the end of the world though. He started those first 8 or 9 games we won at the begining of the season. Not sure where Seaborne is along the way of getting back to first team action. I really wouldn't be too happy seeing Jaidi there. As much as I love him and how well he did last year, we would get torn a new one if we came up against pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 And then there's Bart, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaborne played the matches in August until Jos arrived. Martin played mostly during the poor spell (not that he is to blame for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 God this is ridiculous! He's a goalkeeper FFS! I think he'd be terrible in central defence, it would be foolhardy in the extreme to risk it at such a critical point in the season! Idiots!!!

Pilchards Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 Don't knock it 'til you've tried it I once saw Bart do a great chest down when he was in goal against Blackpool so I don't see why he can't be a centre back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's me thinking that the thread topic was about coverage where we don't have much. Either I misread it or you did. There's a bit of a hint in the second line - "I think we could absorb injuries in most areas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that "The unbearable lightness of being" is Bearsy's favorite film, mind you Juliette Binoche in a bit of girl on girl has turned more than one punter.

Saint_clark Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 Seaborne was actually first choice alongside Fonte at the start of the season and looked much improved on last year. People seem to forget this. It was only when he had his incident that we felt the need to get another CB in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
