! With regrds left back, we must have someone in the U23's who can come in?
It’s symptomatic of the bizzarre decisions that have been made that of the players who have played left back at U23s in recent years 3 are out on loan , Galloway, Connolly, Robinson; one can’t be registered to play PL until January, Garbutt; one is 19 and requires further development, Matty Foulds; the final one Lewis Gibson is 17 , highly promising, physically well built and one for the future or maybe pitching in to the final Europa game but would be a gamble.
In short , while we were busy accumulating No 10s and right back cover for Seamus we were neglecting cover for Baines . I think Jonjoe could do the LB job on a limited basis as cover for Baines. While predominately right footed , like most of our youngsters he’s been trained to use his left , but would really be cutting back inside to cross with his right. Come January the LB cover should be sorted by having Garbutt registered and bringing back either Galloway or Connolly, leaving Kenny to continue to develop at right back and push Seamus for a place.
