G.E.C. 18,771 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just as cover for Wallace who is picking up quite a few knocks already.Ball done nothing wrong apart from a few dodgy touches but I reckon we should be in the hunt before the window closes.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I do think an experienced fullback for cover would be a good idea. In before Foster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 No, we just have to go with what we have Ball will do a good job when needed. We may see one of the young players given a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMckee 3,420 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Think we will be fine was concerned about right back also but i think aird will actually be quite decent if we need him to step in and ball will do fine at left back if needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson1872 2,923 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Halliday will cover there once Eustace signs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Bal can play there for the leagueOnly worry is if we play in the cups we don't have Wallace fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,527 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes. 100%. Should have two players competing for each position.Keeps both on their toes, and provides cover in event of injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,484 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yup Halliday can play left back if we need him to, we have plenty of CMs slot in there if need be, even better when/if Eustace signs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 No.. plenty options. Guys gotta be given a chance of a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyDave 123 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If Wallace or Tavernier were to get injury or suspension we would be weaker without them.I think Ball will do well at left back and center half.I would like more defensive cover perhaps some of our youth players or even a loan.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Someone who can play both full back positions wouldn't be a bad idea but if not I'm sure we'll manage Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersandy 594 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 He'll sign another player, thats for sure. That player probably will be able to cover at left back. That said, Andy Halliday can play in that position so who knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,474 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We should sign Izzaguire before Man UTD, Barca, both Madrids, Bayern, Chelsea, Man City, Inter and PSG put a £35 million bid in for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't think signing players "just for backup" in part of Warburton's philosophy. As he's said, everyone who's here needs to get game time and they all have a part to play. We don't have players who are there just for backup.
