JH Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 They're having just as many problems as us team-wise, if not worse. Think this could still go either way. Not throwing in the towel just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 With Simpson and Ryan Taylor the expected full backs, we're in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Our midfield should dominate theirs, but without a proper player to line up at LB that's a weakness. Still optimistic, me might lose narrowly but we've got a chance of some points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought that we'll crumble just because we've got dodgy fullbacks is laughable. We've got every chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ferguson isn't fit though, I'd rather not put Simpson or Taylor at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 On second thought, would take the Premier League postponing all of the opening matches just so we could.. you know, play with an actual left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
