Port Vale - We needed a c/b Now - We don't A 50% Carbon and emergency centre back Austin playing the first 45 minutes. Result of this was 2 shocking goals, and in reality we could have been 4 or 5 down. Second 45 minutes we switched Hassell to his best position, centre back, with a 50% fit Matt Carbon, and we dominated, losing to Port Vales only shot of the second half, which cruelly deflected off another player. How am I plainly wrong with facts?
Chairman's said we are ambitious and he agreed that the team as it stands needed the acquisition of experience. Back 4 more than anywhere.
Can I also add Heckinbottom not guaranteed for Friday, neither is Kay. Kay could be 2 weeks away. so, we have 2 first choice centre halfs and 2 full backs. for Friday. at Forest. still think Windass is the priority, but we do need more cover, of an experienced nature. eg Hudds at home, a steady head wouldve perhaps stopped the late capitulation.
RE: Port Vale - We needed a c/b Now - We don't Because you are. Carbon was only 40 % ffs. The Chairman's already stated that the team needs a wise old head in there. We have 18 games to go. Carbon & Reid consistently available for 18 games ? Oh no no no.
I don't think Taggart would come now. He's part of the coaching staff now at Stoke City!!! But it would have been good for us.
