Bartley and Ajayi got us promoted a few years back. O’Shea is better than Bartley was then, so improving the right back spot should surely leave us equipped…is my thinking anyway.

TGH is more suited to centre mid IMO; another position we aren’t flush in.
A few quick points. I haven't checked but I believe Livermore was part of a back three at Hull. He did well for us in a back three v Reading last season but we don't play with a back three currently.

Bartley and Ajayi didn't get us promoted last time. Pereira did and he wasn't playing centre half. Between them Bartley, Ajayi and Johnstone very nearly blew our automatic chances with some ridiculous mistakes that season.

One final note. TGH is arguably the closest thing we have to a wing back in our first team squad. He's not really an out and out full back yet he's played more games for us wide at all levels than he has centrally. Again though, we don't play with wing backs.
