Bucko was great but far from perfect. I will hang the guy before he's here. This is a sausaging stupid move (if it happens). We already have 3 centre backs vying for 2 places. All three have been club captains so Bamba isn't being brought in for his leadership. Two have played full seasons at Premier League level and one is considered by most impartial observers to be one of the best centre halves outside the top flight and is a full international, so Bamba isn't being brought in as an improvement. Add to this the fact that we have Rawson chomping at the bit for first team experience and we as a club are supposedly committed to giving talent from our academy a chance in the first team. Then consider that we already let a committed and talented defender who was willing to provide back up leave for a nominal fee in the summer. Why do we need Sol Bamba? The only answer left is that Pearson wants another one of his mates at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely pointing out that we can't give anyone a chance in our first team with out nailing them to a cross let alone any one else linked to the club.

King Kevin Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I just hope it's Bamba and not Bambi we're signing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Beat me to it Kevin....the guy we are signing is defiantly more Bambi than Bamba though. He is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Leicester's remarkable turnaround & survival under Pearson came after he signed Robert Huth, switched to a 3/5 at the back, and slotted him in between Wasilewski & Morgan.

Mr Tibbs Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'd be a hell of a lot more inclined to play 3-5-2 than keep 442 with Hughes/Byrso as a pair in the centre and Butters on the right! The players we have are set up better to play that way than 442 IMO but surely that's something you want to be drilling into these players when they return for pre-season in July, not 1/5 of the way through a season.

I actually think this could work, as long as the players know their roles. Part of the reason we've looked so dire up to now is that on the pitch, a lot of the players don't seem to understand their roles; the team is devoid of shape or structure so we're facing an uphill battle from the start. Instruct the players properly of their role within a formation and we might start to see some progress, regardless of formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be much worse than the current football anyway. It's worth a try. I reckon it would suit the players the most. It has the right balance between attack and defence. It would also get Hughes higher up behind the two forwards. I'd be happy to see something like this: Carson/Mitchell Keogh Pearce Bamba Christie Bryson Johnson Anya Hughes Ince Vydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen Rawson played ONCE and seems good defender but need to see him play more rather than just one game I've seen though. Rawson is actually my first choice after Shackell by the way.
