sgncfc 1,253 Posted August 26, 2020 4 minutes ago, Bethnal Yellow and Green said: I think it is largely due to there only being 3 fit centre backs at the moment and Farke wanting to avoid overloading any of them with too many minutes. Tettey comes in to allow Zimmermann and Klose a rest. Only 3 fit centre backs. 10 new signings, but no centre backs. 35 players already in the first team squad. Quintilla has played there before, as have others. Tettey being asked to play there so frequently suggests that is where he might get his games this season, if we don't land Gibson.

Hopefully we see Placheta come on in the second half- With his pace, speed and skill against tired legs should be fun to watch   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, only two fit centre backs it seems as Klose isn't on the bench. Sorenson has also played centre back though. Think Tetts is there are that is where there is a shortage of players currently, not that it is seen as his new position. Centre back signing is an obvious priority for the club, I suspect it is taking longer as they are looking for a marked improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saw the state of it, christ I know that Dresden were relegated to the third thier and all and just like a lot of East Germany it is rather poor and lacking in funding but come on they can do better than that right?

Still, shame was happened to East German football. Hell, East Germany in general, fall of the wall was supposed to help them out but still very blatent money issues, even more so if you compare them to the rest of Germany.  No East German football teams in the top German tier as of now either, and both Dresden and Rostock have ended up in the third tier and suffering major issues both on and off the field (rostock played in the top tier for over a decade)  Really is a shame that most of East Germany has been left to rot by the rest of Germany Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The divide between East Germany and the rest of the country economically is much smaller than the divide between the north and south in the UK and Germany has spent a lot of money on regional development in the East. The economic gap is probably the smallest it has been since reunification, although it is certainly still marked. I definitely wouldn't say it has been 'left to rot'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonzo 198 Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Skipp looks like he'd be a handy rugby player. More bite in midfield was what we needed but maybe that was a little too much with that last tackle as he cements some poor German (who is wondering what sort of friendly game this is supposed to be). Skipp is in the book for his thuggery. Pukki scores. Oh happy days! Edited August 26, 2020 by Bonzo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
