Am I the only one who thinks we're lacking a left full back?
We have Holmes-Dennis, yes - but he's unfit and people have been saying he could be unfit for some months to come yet. We have James Clarke - yes, but his position, despite being able to play across the back four, is not a left back!
We need a LB IMO

Is he actually unfit for months or are people putting 2 and 2 together and making 5?

Really like the look of nganioni but I was looking at English players because it is more likely they would join, moimbe looks good and has also played in England so more likely to join

Ok, then he could be a legitimate target , however holmes-Dennis seems a long term signing with good potential and nganioni would be another marquee-ish signing in the same position both would be young too so it could prevent both from getting good game time in the long run, where as golbourne could provide a well experienced short term option. Obviously would prefer Nganioni but don’t know logistically if it would work

Our wonderful manager,in who we all trust, has consistently picked players that cannot do this basic job.We are still desperate for a Cian Bolger type number 5.

I said earlier I was hoping we will bring in a LB on loan as it will be a while until THD can play a full 90 minutes every week. DC did say this morning that he hasn’t ruled out bringing in another LB. We have a couple of weeks left to bring one in on loan.

With the Bone on this one , def need a lumper of a c/h,we have options at l/b , but if DC dont trust Broads or Rollin and we dont sign the Bolger type we are going to continue to concede these headed goals from long balls into box, which are costing us dear !

Too late now but I would have put Craig at l.b till newbies fit. Sold Lockyer, or just got rid off and got 2 new center backs in. Our defence was sh**e last year and I don’t think we have added or improved in that area this season. Another -gd? I hope not.

Broadbent is a "lump" of a defender but we concede more with him in the team than Craig, plus if Bolger is such a great defender why did Fleetwood struggle so much last season. We'd all like DC to go out and sign the next Flint but so would every other Div 1 team.

NO you are not the only one, thought Craig was a poor signing at the time and it was clear he did not meet the criteria (strong dominant CH) at the time. Most we can hope for is a young loanee learning the game to give us a bit of cover as I suspect loyalty will mean DC will stick with Craig whatever.

For this club to move on, it is a necessity to clear out the defenders that cannot carry out basic tasks. A central defender that cannot head a ball is as much use as the preverbial chocolate fireguard. Sadly both of the managers first choice centre backs are incapable of carrying out such simple tasks. Craig has been a huge disappointment for me. And undroppable Tom has failed to deal with crosses for too long.

Our general defending has been a lot better since Craig came to the club and we have restricted the number of opportunities created by the opposition but we are still prone to "slack moments of concentration lapses". Broadbent is not the answer and we have nobody at the club that is better than the Craig/Lockyer combination. The problem is that most teams in this division will swing crosses in to good headers of the ball and we know that when they do there will be one or two at least that will cause problems due to our lack of height.
