Derbados Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 With Wisdom looking like he's all but gone now (read his tweets) Its left a huge void at RB, lets face it the lad was class. Who would you sign at RB to take us forward next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We need to keep the balance we've had in terms of one fullback attacking and one fullback defending. Steven Reid? Billy Jones? I'd have liked James Tavernier from Rotherham to be honest, he looked like a great player yesterday. But with them now in the Championship, it might be difficult to persuade him to leave and they'd be reluctant to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If we can't get anyone in for whatever reason, Freeman's not that bad. Looked similar to Forsyth at the start of the season and I think with a bit more confidence he could improve quite a lot. But would prefer a new RB.

Posh Ram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Does not play for Rotherham. On loan from Newcastle. Oh right. Having wiki'd him, he's 22 years old. Newcastle might be willing to offload him on a permanent. He'd be cheap and an excellent signing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing Wisdom and Freeman makes me shudder, no offence to the lad but he's nowhere near the caliber and pedigree of Wisdom. If we're serious about top two next season, we need to replace quality with quality, not take a step back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with game time and good coaching I think he could really improve. But I'd rather a new right back, or Wisdom back on loan (seems very unlikely atm).

ramsbottom Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 John Brayford would thrive in this attacking team But at the same would be liable to leave gaping holes in the defence. I love the lad (especially his beard) but his defending can be slack at times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyHudson Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 John Brayford would thrive in this attacking team I wholeheartedly agree, however the shape of our team would suffer. When we played Eustace as a DM, both fullbacks had more licence to push forward as Eustace would drop back, Keogh and Bucko would each move 10 yards wider and that would create the temporary back 3. However, if we're playing Thorne (or similar), he is much more mobile than Eustace and tends to push higher up himself when we're attacking. Having Brayford, Forsyth AND Thorne in attacking positions would leave only two at the back. In my humble opinion, that's why we didn't see Wisdom driving forward as much - it freed Thorne up to move forward and join the attack and still left us with a solid back 3.

Ambitious Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Luke Ayling is out of contract, one of the most impressive performances I saw last season was by him in our 3-0 win. Which sounds odd, but I believe in a good team he would really shine. http://www.ytfc.net/news/article/20140504-awards-1528333.aspx Completely different to Wisdom. He is more a 'Brayford' type defender. I'd sign him, along with another right-back and be happy. He is a gamble, but I think one that would pay-off. There is also Sam Byram, who I think could go on to play for England; However, his mismanagement at Leeds over the past 12-months has been nothing short of shocking. He'd need a full pre-season and could need treatment for his injury and he'd cost a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Luke Ayling is good, and Tavanier is at Newcastle but can see a bid of £350k being accepted. Would prefer Steven Reid though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
