GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted October 27, 2020 Who'd have thought loaning our only left back cover out when Byram is out until the new year , when we're playing sat-tues-sat every week, would be such a bad idea?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I strongly believe we missed a WB in Quintilla with his crossing. I'm hoping his injury isn't too bad and we get to see him soon. We are playing a bit of a dicey game if Quintilla gets injured with McCallum out on loan. I'm assuming we are sensible enough to insert recall clauses if injuries get bad.

I wouldn't be a fan of that idea personally, because then you're playing two players out of position, including one of your best players, and that probably makes the situation worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure the club favours development of players etc, but there does need to be proper cover in these positions. Has there been official news on Quintilla? As it sounded like a tweak so he should really be back for the bristol game. Would rather play Mumba rather than infill player, especially as I dont want to disrupt the CM pairing of Rupp/Skipp. Although with that being said, I hope to see McLean back fighting for his spot soon.

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted October 28, 2020 Pretty unforgiveable that we have left ourselves in a position (knowing we have sat-tues-sat-tues) games for the foreseeable future where one injury to Quintilla leaves us playing a defenive midfielder at left back. A big, big question mark over Webber's work this summer for me. I thought Sorensen did well to be fair given how out of position he was and I liked what i saw when he was switched later on. A few tackles he made I think hinted at what he could protantially bring as a defensive midfielder. I suspect on Saturday we may see Mumba at right back and Max playing on the left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farke said he was a doubt for Bristol. It seemed to be an option for him last season and Mclean would then be back in the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,227 Posted October 28, 2020 Moving Rupp out of midfield would be a big mistake - it's him making us tick. Two wrongs don't make a right, so for me it has to be Mumba at RB and Max LB. A Skipp/McLean combo does not work for me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted October 28, 2020 Why are we worried? We bought Ben Gibson in as he can also play LB, so we’ll just move him to LB and use one of our other CBs....oh wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you're obviously making a point about the lack of central defensive cover here, which I agree with, but it does raise that issue again of some people genuinely suggesting Gibson being left back cover. My question is, other than being left-footed, is there any reason why Gibson is suited to the position? Would we ever consider Hanley and Zimmermann options at right back, for example? It seems that within the wider world of football, left-footed players often get shunted out to the left flank purely because of their preferred foot, which doesn't happen with right-footed players. I think Stiepermann is an example of that here from three seasons ago, when he was forced to play left back just because he's left-footed, rather than the fact that he's actually suited to playing at full back.

This is basically what Farke said after the game. They could've put Aarons LB, Rupp RB and moved someone into CM. But they felt this was too disruptive given they had to make the choice 5 mins before the game started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted October 28, 2020 I can't help but feeling that the many on here who were extremely disappointed/irritated on deadline day about no left back coming in and McCallum being sent out on loan are being proved right. Surely McCallum, 'not ready yet' or not, would be first in line to replace Quintilla? Instead he's currently playing out of position himself at right wing-back for Coventry. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 635 Posted October 28, 2020 I would stick with the 3 at the back we were using at the end against Brentford. No matter what we do though, Placheta should be in as he is now the only player who can occupy the left wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
