saint_bert Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Anyone think maybe Schredelin might play cb? Even Wotton? Also Perry is avaliable I believe, so why all the panic about CB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 wotton can easily play CB...however, he will be a very slow one at that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Martini Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Slower that Killer against Blackpool? I think we should just go with Cork and Perry. When we play that high up the field (as we did against Blackpool) it is not that big a problem if we lose a few headers as long as we get to the second ball. A bit of pace at the back is a lot more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBenali Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 I too don't get some peoples sudden panic about getting a CB in...Perry, Cork, Wotton and Lancashire and K Davies are all either natural or very accomplished CB's, whilst as you can Schneiderlin can also play there if needs be. And that's presuming the worst case scenario that Killer and Thomas won't be available in the short-mid term future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasiak-9- Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Surely it'll be Cork and Perry vs QPR right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 I think some people are over-reacting about our defensive 'crisis'. We have . . . Svensson Perry Thomas Cork Lancashire and then we have the option of using . . . Schneiderlin and Wotton. So when you think about it, we do actually have plenty of options.

Big Ron fan Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 (edited) Anyone think maybe Schredelin might play cb? Even Wotton? Also Perry is avaliable I believe, so why all the panic about CB's? Because Perry, a good player in the past, is a slow 36 year-old who spent last season in a poor League 1 side, Wotton is so good that Plymouth let him go on a free and Spiderman is nothing more than a promising midfield player who will get torn apart by a decent forward at this level. There's no panic on my part though - I'm resigned to the situation. Oh yes - and the other youngsters mentioned have not played a senior game in the league.

madsent Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Huh? Kyle Davies is one of the CBs in our reserve team. He played a few times in pre-season and looked promising if very raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Man Do Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Kyle Davies is one of the CBs in our reserve team. He played a few times in pre-season and looked promising if very raw. So you're saying he isnt accomplished? ;-) Personally I think Cork should be in for Svensson none of the others are worth considering at the moment.

um pahars Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 I think some people are over-reacting about our defensive 'crisis'. We have . . . Svensson Perry Thomas Cork Lancashire and then we have the option of using . . . Schneiderlin and Wotton. So when you think about it, we do actually have plenty of options. I wouldn't call it over reacting, just very concerned. Of your list two are out injured and one has never played before (nor has Davies who has been mooted as an alternative). Putting Wotton or Schneiderlin in there isn't really the answer either for me (only as an emergency halfway through a game). We have enough issues playing midfielders as full backs without having to make do with three out of the back four playing out of position. So we have Perry and Cork in the middle of defence, with some rookies as back up. Now of course they could come in and perform brilliantly, but I think it's reasonable to have some concerns as we stand here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ron fan Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 How many games have you seen this season? I don't see how this is relevant to the comments I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBenali Posted 13 September, 2008 Share Posted 13 September, 2008 Oh yes - and the other youngsters mentioned have not played a senior game in the league. Yes, but Davies and Lancashire have played with the players around them many-a-time, its not like they're being thrown in at the deep end with 10 players they've never seen before...besides, this would only be the case if 2 out of Perry, Cork and Wotton got injured and that Killer's injury becomes slightly more long term (if not permenant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean. It's just a shame that as Saints fans we have to presume the worst all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
