Cajun Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I can't even remember a time we had good squad depth in defence. Hell even under SBR our most regular starting centre backs were what Dabizas, Bramble and O'Brien? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence individually was horrific under Bobby but as a unit they did ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We've taken numerous risks on a thin squad for years now. Amazed it's taken this long to bite us in the arse. In a perverse way, the club is getting precisely what it deserves http://www.mememaker.net/static/images/memes/683878.jpg Sorry, couldn't resist...

Guest Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Numbers wise we were only really a centre-back down. To lose 3 right-backs, any team in the country would have struggled with and that is bad luck. No excuse for the lack of centre-backs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Although the Simpson injury did allow us to see on Saturday that Anita is actually a very handy attacking full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Obviously none of us know the exact extent of our injuries but it's sod's law they are starting to drop like flies now the transfer window is closed in a season we really had to strengthen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 If this is true, all we need now is for Ba or Cisse to get crocked and it's a full set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Didn't go (or Atrmitos), genuinely had no idea. Didn't read the post match thread for fear of being kneed in the face. Knew Simpson and Raylor were fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Although the Simpson injury did allow us to see on Saturday that Anita is actually a very handy attacking full back. I think it did more to highlight how utterly woeful Simpson is. Seeing someone play who isn't terrified of the ball and can do something other than wherever he is on the pitch just turns round to face the goal and pass it back to Steven Taylor is, frankly, a godsend.

CPL Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I can't even remember a time we had good squad depth in defence. Hell even under SBR our most regular starting centre backs were what Dabizas, Bramble and O'Brien? And the Caldwell brothers. Our defence individually was horrific under Bobby but as a unit they did ok. Aaron Hughes did a good job covering the middle when we were short. Never should have been sold in my opinion great squad player similar to what Perch is for us now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Should have got a CB in but, having 3 right backs out is bad luck. If we had have signed a RB Simpson probably would have moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
