    Maldini never took into account any size advantage, he blocked, he jumped at or into the player, elbows ago-go, shirt tugged, bollox squeezed - the lot.

    Army88 is right our lot need to get street wise and quick!

    I don't think Maldini is an option for us, we have to make do with Brownhill who was marking Dawson at Wolves, Dawson virtually picked him up and threw him to one side. We're just not big enough or strong enough, simples.

    There is an element of that for definite Sinkov but my thing is if we know it’s not
    Our strongest point / forte why let teams deliver ball onto our centre backs and full backs.

    I think a post higher up is right to a degree that Dyche would t have a Vitinho for example in his team.

    His team would definitely be defence first - I have no issue with a attacking full back if he can do both jobs but some of them can’t - however Beyer is a much more cultured footballer than Mee or Tarky will ever be - we just don’t have the players around him to express that at the moment.

    Going back to my Dyche point we played decent football in the championship when relegated- but I still think Dyche was afforded patience many times whereas VK has romped the league below playing amazing football but now we want his head for a small window / half a season that isn’t working.

    I’m frustrated as well but I do t think we are miles off - a centre back - centre mid amd forward who wants to play would help us a lot.
