Left Back

[Omegstrat6]

Belatedly noticed that the recently updated team list on the Albion site has Styles moved from defender to midfielder category. No issue with that (and makes even more sense moving him further midfield if Mikey goes) but the moot point will be who now plays LB? With Furlong at RB and surely Phillips and Heggem in the centre, will Caleb Taylor -despite being right footed and more suited to a central position slot in, or will Frabotta? The latter is left footed and certainly has experience in that role but he hasn't been particularly impressive when he has had his chances. What do others think or is this a recruitment need?

We need two quality full backs in my opinion, Furlong good going forward but constantly loses his man when defending. Don?t forget too Palmer bailed Furlong out many times but Griffiths gets more nervous hence the blunders seen last season.

There is a player in styles but I dont think he is a left back. Certainly a good stand in but we have had better in that position over the years.

Frabrotta is possibly on his last chance with the club and I read they trialed him on the wing.

We will be in for a left back and probably a right back too. After that a decent winger and I think we are a good outfit this season.

Yes we do need a left back. Fine with the other positions. Will be interesting to see what transpires.
