c1982 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 To get the best out of our multitude of central players we almost NEED to go 3 at the back. Baines hasn’t got the legs to bomb up and down the left but he’s still an asset even though our defence is a bit of a shambles at the moment - it needs a shake up. I wouldn’t discount Baines as an option at left centre back in a back 3 with Garbutt and Kenny bringing much needed energy to the wing back positions. Unsworth has said that Garbutt has done a lot on the defensive side of his game - he’s always looked to have an incredible left foot and be a top prospect - I still hold faint hopes for him here.

Romey 1878 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 We desperately need Garbutt to come good really. There is no chance Baines can go through this whole season and look anywhere near a decent player - the longer the season goes with him playing every minute of every game the more likely it is that he's going to start looking a poor player. He deserves better than to be run into the ground and having fans criticise him. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Watched him closely last night and I thought he really stood out. Excellent free kick and seemed to defend solidly. only concern was he has been watching Baines corners and hitting the first man regularly.

Sibdane Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hopefully he gets a chance in some cup games. What a quality free kick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I thought he looked excellent when he was in our first team a while back. Let’s hope he gets back on track because Baines isn’t the player he was Matt and Cornish Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall Cuco had his best game for us when he played left back on one occasion; don't remember who it was against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, Garbutt has barely played any sort of football for quite some time, Galloway is a shit left back and Robinson had never played above U23 level.

Sorry, that will teach me for not reading the whole thread! If we get through after Christmas he can be registered, and be put in the league squad. Cup games he can play in tho, can't he?

Quinn31 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 If he was anywhere near good enough, he'd have been registered as a part of the squad. I mean, Sam Byrne is registered to the squad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hope so. A fresh face would give the fans something to talk about at least. And he couldn’t do any worse than the current bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 True. Shame, but true. Would be good to see him on the pitch though. Just even for his energy and, hopefully, willingness to prove himself. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
