Anyway , we've only got 2 first team CB's , so we can't play with three CB's and 2 wing backs................:stunned:
 
I have been considering our back options and at the moment I would play Thommo at right back and JW in the centre back with Luke and Cokes on the left.
I think the other option of keeping JW on the side may leave us too lacking on experience/judgement in a more important area.

So play a right back at centreback and a centre back at right back?

Sorry but thats a major step back from last years defence.

Id rather we went and signed a centreback.

Adam Thompson has more experience than Sokolik and Egan combined.
 
I believe both have played in those "changed" positions before & with the current squad is an option that could be trialled pre season; and give cover/options.
And I would rather we signed 2 centre backs.
 
To answer someone's earlier tongue in cheek question...no, wing backs do not exist. A wing back is simply a full back asked to get forward more often, and given the additional back up of an extra central defender sweeping up behind him....but he's still a full back, still asked to cover the same areas, be available in the same places, provide cover in the same areas....many people think a full back that has a great engine and overlaps a lot is a wing back....he's not, he's a full back that overlaps a lot!

Similar to how there is no difference between a winger and a wide midfielder...it's just a guy covering one side of the pitch...whether he's asked to hug the touchline or play further in, he's still just a wide midfielder who may be asked or naturally inclined to play in different ways.

Football is a very simple game, generally complicated by people who don't understand how simple it is (and often those people are on a TV panel of "experts"?

Absolute rubbish, a wing back sits higher up the pitch, when they hold their position properly it creates a real headache for the opposition as neither the wide midfielder or full back know which one should be picking them up hence why it's a 3-5-1 formation. I used it for 5 years only losing 4 games, critical that the wingback is capable of getting up and down the line, they need to be super fit and strong.

The opposition wasn't quite world class !!!! I still had the odd player having a crafty fag at half time so make what you will about the standard but it confused the hell out of the other teams as they all stuck to 4-4-2 :smile:

And you probably wouldn't even have lost those 4 if you'd remembered to pick eleven players.
 
my 1.2 penneth
J White is more of a traditional full back, Clohessy is the modern type full back which is effectively a wing-back. White defends more, SC attacks more.
i don't think wing-backs need 352, just to bomb on more
