Would do you play?

Galloway who did alright but not has enough experience or Oviedo who did great who has experience?

 

[ilikecheese]

Barry...so that Barkley plays deeper.

 

[Tilling]

Seems like that's a remarkably biased question hahahaha

Oviedo for me but only if he's fit enough. Don't forget he hasn't really played in pre season and he's still coming back from injury!

 

[sageyefc]

Oviedo, he must be getting close to match fItness now

 

[RFUS]

Oviedo for me as it's about balance. We have no left footed winger hugging the side of the pitch so we need an overlapping fullback.

Galloway looks a great prospect but it's like having Stones at RB. He's not going to offer that natural winger-esque offensive threat.

any chance of recalling garbutt? we don't seem to be gettiing much right at the moment

No...and he's hurt anyway.

 

[oldblue]

oviedo though. he is good enough and deserves the chance

 

[Toffeelover]

Garbutt is apparently out for another 4/5 weeks.

 

[LAToffee]

Need to get Oviedo on the treadmill. well overweight at the moment.

bizarre isn't it, was bragging to reds about the dilemma of having three class left backs only short time ago

Well we still have albeit only one is fit!

He's out for 6 weeks.

Let's be honest, Oviedo and Galloway are both good cover for LB, and Galloway will get the experience he needs this way, still with Oviedo to come on for him or even play left mid in front of him.

Excellent hair today I thought.

 

[Barkley1878]

Oviedo for me won't come back the same player from his injury, looks like he's lost a yard off his pace, might get it back but it's gonna take him weeks worth of minutes under his belt which we may not be able to afford considering the opposition.

Galloway looks decent defending but won't offer us enough going forward in terms of link up play on the left which we saw today was lacking. I don't like the idea of having too many inexperienced lads at the back either, both him and Stones need to develop and we could do with some maturity in that defence atm shame Baines is out for so long.

Only everton could you go from 3 top LB's to 3 crippled ones in the space of a few weeks.
