redone Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Aye, fair point! Think we would need a back four of Logan, Devlin, McKenna and Lowe on the top of their game to have a decent chance. Off the top of my head, I only think we managed to put out that back four a couple of times all season. Considine's a better , more effective defender than Lowe Lowe's a better attacking full-back than Considine 1 1 Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 He's a better full back all together.I imagine we will find out this week if McInnes agrees. Got to be a good chance that Ball will play RB again with Devlin and McKenna paired together in the centre. So a straight choice between Lowe and Considine at LB. Link to comment

So a straight choice between Lowe and Considine at LB.I just hope that he makes a decision and doesn't try and fudge it by playing them all. Didn't work in the league game and Lowe clearly wasn't comfortable in left midfield. Keep it simple Deek! Link to comment
Proud Dandy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Especially with Logan out, I can see McInnes going 5 at the back and trying to plug any gaps that way. Hope we just have Ball at right back and play our usual set up as it never seems to work when we change the whole team shape, but have my doubts. Excluding Considine who has been converted into a full back, when was the last time we brought a player through the youth system that has played there more than a few games. Link to comment

Who was another centre back playing at full back. I can't remember the last natural full back we brought through who played more than a handful of games. Foster? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 McNaughton maybe?He's older than Foster too. Unless I'm being slow and we're deliberately ignoring Foster. Which would be fair enough! Link to comment

Mr John Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Absolutely baffling dearth of Scottish RBs right now. Should be the easiest position on the park to fill? Link to comment

Also is there not a lack of good fullbacks in the world just now? It's genuinely hard to think of 5 world class right backs. Link to comment
Mr John Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I dunno: Azpilicueta, Trippier & Aurier (there's loads in the top English squads, so I won't bore you by listing them), Caligiuri & Florenzi from Italy, Carvajal and Roberto of Spain, Kimmich at Bayern... All within our price range. Link to comment

Mr John Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The fact Trippier and Aurier are in your list says a lot I watch Spurs a lot, I rate both of them. They're both internationals, one of them scored in a World Cup Semi-Final and the other won 11 trophies in France FFS! You also, have your questionable opinions. That's the beauty of life. I note you didn't freak out when I mentioned the other RBs. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Absolutely baffling dearth of Scottish RBs right now. Should be the easiest position on the park to fill?I'm in my fifties and it was always the position that nobody wanted to play when I was a young loon.....even goalkeeper was a more popular position. Even saw some boys refuse to play there and consequently miss out on getting signed for a boys team and with the knock on effect that the boy who did get signed eventually was f@ckin dross. I can only imagine that even in today's crazy world where utter shite can get a gig in EFL 1&2 on £5k/week and more, boys still prefer not to play there. Link to comment
