duo 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 How can we not have a single other left back at the club? Fair enough we've one first team LB but what about reserves? Academy players? Surely there is someone who plays in that position that is worth a shout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think Keegan made the same point in August, look where that got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Kadar, is it, the lad who got injured. He plays lb for the reserves (unless I'm mistaken). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackas 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Tamas Kadar, I think, but he's injured for another 4 months approx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a perennial fact that all chairmen are stupid twats though. It's 53 years since Len Shackleton wrote his biography and included a chapter called "The Average Director's Knowledge of Football" consisting of a single blank page.

snakehips 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Damn, too late. Doesn't really matter, though, as Kadar is just an untried kid really who was never in the frame as a standby replacement for Enrique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter, though, as Kadar is just an untried kid really who was never in the frame as a standby replacement for Enrique. Not true really, he was in the squad on several occasions and if I remember correctly whoever was managing us at some point said he was ready for first team football, wanted to give him a chance in a match around january I think.

He was on the bench against Liverpool and Hull in the FA Cup. And he's been called up the the Hungary squad. To be fair, he may be young and inexperienced but he can't be any worse than some of the players we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonGoodwyn 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 and he'll have the hunger to prove himself. I at least one youth player will come up through the ranks next year, regardless of which league we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) N'Zogbia was cover for left back. Not ideal, but he started the season there ahead of Enrique. Bassong could play there, but I thought he was poor when he did. It would also massively weaken our centre of defence. Can Raylor play there? Can Raylor play anywhere? edit : Is Darren Lough of the reserves a left back? I thought I remembered him playing against Juve in a friendly in that position.

Big Onion 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Think when I saw Lough he was at right-back. They switch the kids around quite a bit - I've seen Tozer, who's normally a CB, played at full-back and Kadar has had the odd game at centre-back. Kadar did look promising at left-back but two bad injuries mean he's not even had that much reserve experience. A long way away from the first team yet I'd say and out for the season anyway obviously. I know Coloccini's played full-back quite a few times in the past, and I've got a feeling I heard he'd played on both sides in his time. I'd rather see him given a go there than Ryan Taylor, and we've precious few other options when Enrique's not available, although Duff did alright there at the weekend.

Park Life 70 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Zoggy was the backup left back innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
