RamLad1884 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 With the news Malone is out for 4-6 weeks the annual injury crisis hits again. As it stands we have no fit left backs at the club, not a single one. Lowe: 1-2 weeks away injured, that could yet mean longer Fozzy: Done for the season Olsson: certainly not going to be match fit until the end of January at best Macdonald: unknown length of time injured, currently the under 23's left back. Even with Lowe back hopefully pretty soon it seems someone will have to come in for at least the short term. Lowe has been known to get injured a fair bit so we need cover. Perhaps a romantic return to the arms of Frank for Ashley Cole? Maybe another Chelsea unknown as cover? Maybe we'll find another Fozzy hidden in the lower leagues/fringes of the championship?

Ilsonram12 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ashley Cole on a short term contact could do no harm imo at this crucial time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're having a bad time with injuries. Add Davies out for the season and Bennett for 4 months or so. Evans has already missed about 3 months too. Imagine if we actually had that senior squad of 23 players that was talked about earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don't mind Wisdom plugging the gap for a few weeks if Lowe's injury isn't that bad. I'm not his biggest fan but thought he did ok yesterday to say he was out of position and probably rusty from a lack of game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboy63 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I guess Anya is still getting a good wage and played left back for us before and for Scotland and hears a thought he is left footed,now theres a thing Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren’t part of his plans, they won’t play. Also, Anya is predominantly right footed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Wisdom did pretty well yesterday tbf, although I don’t like having to play players out of position too much. Formation switch maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I thought wisdom played well but no doubt some with find cause to blame him for summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretDave Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I believe that Bradley Johnson played left back for Norwich during emergencies in the past. Maybe he could be an option? I think he's available after suspension again on Saturday. Otherwise, Louis Sibley can play there. He deserves a shot in the first team I think.

ivo_knoflicek Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 The most frustrating thing here is the Callum McDonald situation. He has been around the first team squad sporadically for a couple of years, is one of the few regulars across a year and a half of successful U23 football and is very highly rated at the club. With four left backs at the club at the start of the season he must have doubted he would ever get his chance. Now it has come and he is unavailable. The lad must be gutted.

McRainy Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Put Huddlestone in the middle and the others can shuffle along a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Wisdom and Evans can also play centre back if we need to move people along the back line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDerby Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'd love to see 3 at the back and play wing backs but it would be a massively brave (some might say crazy) decision from Lamps and I doubt he would change it without the team being used to the formation.

Uptherams Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Wisdom left back for now and give Bogle the freedom to attack/Run so when he's caught out we have 3 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
