Defenders FFS

Whats the obsession with strikers??

 

WHERE ARE THE F

UCKING DEFENDERS !!!!!???????????????

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

I agree a solid defender is a priority. But I do also think we could do with another striker. Nardiello doesnt play enough games, and I dont think conlon and hayes works well enough.

Does anybody know owt about Marc Richards?

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

He hardly looks prolific like.

Build from the back imho in this league.

 

jarman is good enough

and kay can play up front too.

the priority is a new solid centre back and then a solid central midfielder that isnt scared to charge forward with the ball at his feet.

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

If he's gunna get a striker in go use the loan system and bring in a premiership striker in on loan. Eg Neil Mellor instead of lower leauge no hopers.

 

he's a midfielder...

not a striker.

or a defender for that matter.

 

RE: he's a midfielder...

He's a feckin midfielder, youre right! ff (Y)

 

he's a midfielder...

the official site says he's a striker.

Soccerbase say he's a midfielder...who do you trust more?

I'm sticking with midfielder.

 

RE: he's a midfielder...

Midfield it is then

 

yay!

 

I'm pretty sure he's a striker...

So well done BFC site!

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

Of what I saw of young Ryan Laight last week at 'Udders they already have, not of the Chris Morgan ilk, but a composed footballing defender who would run his blood to water for the BFC crest, but that ain't good enough for you lot on here is it?

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

You meaning me with that ?

 

Really?

(rulez)

 

RE: WHERE ARE THE F

Ryan Laight is a quality defender - can play the ball out from the back and an excellent tackler. His only problem is his height - but I would say he is the same size as Hassel, if not taller - and he did well enough at centre back last season.

Give the lad a chance - he Captained the reserves several times last season and was a key part of their success.

(Y)

 

is he a midfielder or a striker

if a midfielder - excellent , he's got a good track record

if a striker - looks a bit on the turd side.

 

RE: is he a midfielder or a striker

He's a striker primarily, at least that's where he played at Northampton. I think he may be able to play on the wing too, though not sure.

 

He sounds ****

apologies if already posted.
