    Erm....full backs

    We've got Dummett, Yedlin and Wanquillo as recognised full backs (the Chron points out we've got Sterry but Rafa wants to get rid).

    This means we've effectively got two full backs because Manquillo is as poor a full back as Joselu is a forward.

    An injury to either and we are in trouble.

    Sorry to be a little raincloud of doom.

    Aye, been reported that Rafa wants another right-back in his transfers in.

    The fact we utilized under 23 wingers as full-backs against St Pats Athletic sums it up really.

    He wanted to leave for full time football and we couldn't give him that at that stage.

    We've always struggled at the back so this is no big surprise

    Real shame we couldn't.

    Mbabu gave the best full back performance we've seen in years in that one game against Chelsea-both defensively and offensively he was outstanding.

    Bit like Mbemba...a bit of a baffling decision to not play him/ let him go.

    Hey ho.

    Well at the time we had:

    Dummett
    Jaanmat
    Haidaira

    Which in hindsight isn't good enough but we've never really done thinking well
