There are exciting options, but GvB is too conservative - which is ironic, because we can't defend, either... That backline would be the stuff of nightmares. Wouldn't be fair on King either. Saw a little of Mayo at Kilmarnock, not ready for us. Sands isn't a natural centre half. Both could be used if playing beside experience but all together, .... would work out badly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That backline is makeshift, certainly. I don't think it would be too bad against the diddy teams. Against better teams we'd need more of an aggressive press to carry them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossitor played in the previous 5-5. Nothing changes!! Edited October 13, 2022 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't forget the important bit. Mayo is not currently playing for the first team. Should make him extremely popular while poor results continue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,508 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I only mentioned a Mayo recall because it sounds like we're down to 2 fit CBs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
