Who the heck are we going to pick as centre halves on sunday?

[arch stanton]

I'd play 3 at the back Kennny Keane Jagielka. Kenny has played centre back before so it's not new. At least he's got some pace. Then I would play Martina Besic Gueye Baines as a 4 in midfield yet and make us difficult to breakdown then Rooney and Sigurdsson behind Calvert-Lewin.

I'd play 10 at the back and hope for some 0-0 draws

 

[CRIMHEAD]

He’s got as many errors in him as anyone.

He's quite possibly worse than Williams. Yes, I wrote that. He has no business playing CB. Maybe in a back 3 against a Championship side.

 

[ilikecheese]

It's Mume time.

 

[mites]

we may as well kick it with a 2-3-5 with the number of goals we let it

our only hope is the Roondog outscoring the opposition once he's properly supported with DCL, Niasse, Klaassen, and Sandro

 

[TheFinnFan]

Think Unsworth ment Williams ...among others with that comment. But especially him.

 

[Zezti]

Its a tough one.
I'd go Besic and Jags. Not that they're great, but all the other have been utterly shocking.

I suppose one of the difficult things for our defence is getting any practice in during the week given how easy it must be for them to play against our attack in training.

In fact it would be interesting who comes out on top in that battle. I dread to think how bad it must be.

Strikers win one - nil, own goal none the less....

 

[harris78]

It still amazes me how gash are back four have become - playing Man City away we stood up to them and defended resolutely, yet since that game, its as if the whole team have forgotten every aspect of defensive play.

Roll on January, i am expecting a good few players bought in the first week or so to sort out this shambles

Want to try and find that post from ages ago from someone reeling off a list of names of our centre backs and saying we were fine because we had 4 or 5 already and didn't need to buy any more.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Jags and holgate

 

[Eggs]

..it’s not just CB, it’s got to a point where it doesn’t seem to make any difference who plays. It doesn’t seem to make any difference where they play.

There’s an embarrassing lack of athleticism in the team, we simply get overrun by more powerful runners. Steve Walsh has to be culpable I’m afraid.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

And people used to criticise Funes Mori , he looks like Baresi next to this lot

 

[BlueLee]

Buy Dave Watson and Kev the Rat some boots. Move as fast as what we've got right now and might actually organise the rubbish in front of them!!

 

[sageyefc]

You could literally promote the back 4 from any of our youth sides and they'd be an upgrade on the senior back 4

Browning and Galloway.

Browning is at Sunderland on loan
