mosstef Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Interesting quotes from Eddie Howe's presser today. He confirms that he now sees BDB as a leftback and not a CB played out of position. Could mean that we are more likely to buy a CB in the summer than competition for LB where we already have Burn and Targett competing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Is it just that you couldn't possibly make an argument to put Burn ahead of Botman now? So he either sees him as a left-back or as a substitute, and he's surely not going to say the latter. Would expect us to sign a top-class left-back over a left-sided centre-back to "compete" in the summer, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I think it's critical that we get another CB in regardless of how Burn is categorised tbh. Lascelles isn't even reliable against lower-league opposition now. I hope the guy gets a good move in the summer tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 To be honest, I imagine both a LB and a CB are on the list for the Summer, especially considering we will likely be playing some form of European football. Think we will get in a young CB who will slowly (over the course of next 12-18 month) been phased in in place of Schar. And I think ideally Howe want's the left side to carry the same attacking threat as the right, which means an LB who is far more accomplished in the attacking areas of the game. Lewis and Lascelles will likely both be on their way in the Summer, BDB becomes a great squad option who can step in at LB or CB without missing a beat. Targett a more dedicated back-up LB.

Shak Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Aye, he was decent when we just went to a back three in possession but we've started to ask more from him going forward recently and he looks awful tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 What the fuck was he doing at the end there? Likeable guy but one of a few who need to be warming the bench, not being relied upon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Probably had his worst game for us today! I'd like to see him subbed for a more attacking fullback when we are pushing for a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Teams seem to be targeting him now. I really don't think he has the pace to be a left back, he looks slow and is making pretty significant mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Only singling him out in that he looks the most knackered and therefore had the worst performance. He's obviously a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 He looks absolutely shattered. I mean we basically have no other LB cause Dummett doesn't count. We need Targett back asap for Dan to have a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Looks like a centre half playing left back. Simple as that. Until Targett is fit though he's the only option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
