Destort 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Since Drury and Edworthy (in the championship winning year) we have struggled with these positions season after season and I dread to think the cost that it has had for this football club over the past few seasons. i would also be interested in seeing the number of assists from the wide areas scored against us.Otsemobor has the makings of a great full back however his denensive inadequacy has proved costly on too many occasions. Before that there has been Omozusi, never lived up to the hype and was on loan.Hughes, not actually a right backLouis-Jean, who? Was injured so much I doubt most Norwich fans could recognise himand Jurgen Colin, again never settled. then we can include Russell etc.. The left back slot has been just as incosistent with player after player being used in that position since relegationWe cannot rely on Drury any more, as well as his ability dropping, his injury record is something to be desired.Then there''s Bertrand who is here on loan and won''t be staying... there was Wright, now with Ipswich... Even an Everton youngster who came in for a handful of games as well as numerous out of position such as Pattision, Lappin Shackell etc.. Anyway after the rambling, the point is that these are key areas, especially when your team is not the tallest in the league. We need to cut out the source of the crosses and diagonal runs much more often. Just a thought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigFish 1,986 Posted March 11, 2009 I think most on here would prefer a target man & a CB first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Destort 0 Posted March 11, 2009 I would prefer more than the full backs if possible but the amount of goals I have seen from the wide areas against us is frightening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted March 11, 2009 [quote user="BigFish"]I think most on here would prefer a target man & a CB first.[/quote]Correct.Mooney, Gow, Purse and Spillane (new contract) for starters if we stay up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Destort 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Hasn''t Korey Smith played right back in some reserve games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
