Rousseau 9,463 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 We're maybe not as overloaded at LB as it appears. Halliday is a stand-in, Wallace will be off, John is not quite good enough and Flanagan is technically a RB. In that case it'll be: John and Barasic at LB, with Tavernier and Flanagan at RB. Flanagan is better than John at LB, though. 4 players for two positions is not bad. We do need forwards now. Edit: @Darthter beat me to it... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we are looking very strong defensively and still very poor going forward. It's going to be a long season if Lafferty and Morelos are the main strkers we have to choose from. And Murphy, Windass etc aren't goods enough for the supporting positions. At least Middleton looks promising. Of course we need to strengthen middle to front but this Croatian LB also improves our attacking optons and qualities, significantly.

trublusince1982 243 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Maybe we have an agreement in principle for a forward and he doesn't come till end of august . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace is still there too at the moment although probably for much longer John rumored to be going to Swansea on loan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we go 3-5-2 where he could play as a wingback. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
