Maybe someone should give Jamie Green a call.

Quoted from jimgtfc
PH is basically admitting that he got it wrong in pre season in terms of player recruitment. He said we have adequate numbers across the back 4, then 48 hours before the first game brings in a centre half, and now admits that actually we need a back up left back.


I seem to remember that he did actually talk about the left back position and the names Winfarrah and Magnay were both mentioned by PH as suitable cover. So why is this not reasonable now? As for left footed players being best in that position, I watched Graham Taylor and Brian Keeble play LB for Town for years and both were right footed.

Exactly. I do feel for him with all the untimely injuries, but he's not doing himself any favours with some recent decisions imo. Definitely a case of more questions that answers atm.

Thomas may be out a while but i cant help but feel we have enough options to cover before we need to go out and get another loanee.

Magnay, Bignot, Boyce, Winfarrah even McLaughlin could fill in for Thomas.

We need another STRIKER ... FFS. Attacking is the problem.

I think we have to assume that Hurst can look for both strikers and defenders at the same time. It's not an either/or situation and I'd tend to doubt Hurst will be so obsessed with trying to get cover in at left-back that he will completely forget about the need to strengthen our attacking options!

However, I don't disagree that we ought to have enough defensive options available in the squad to cover and it does make you wonder if the rumours about Bignot wanting to depart are true.
