Left back?
« on: March 05, 2008, 07:40:34 AM »

Am i right in thinking we missed a left back sorely last night?

Now is the time after a week or so of training etc we should find out if we'll get JJ back. I think its a no. Macc need him as much as we do judging by their position.

Where can we get a left back from? Surely its our top priority. Any ideas anyone?

Not sure we need strikers now. We always seem to score goals when O Neil plays, Im not saying he's great but this is more than coincidence!

Last night wasnt a disaster by any means but we need a win out of the next 2 games or it gets a bit too tight for me!

Your thoughts?

James Jennings played centre midfield for Macclesfield in their 1-1 draw with Notts County on Saturday, therefore it appears that he is in Keith Alexander's short term plans.If we got him back it would be a huge bonus & likely to be near the end of the season, however I am sure Graham is looking for other left backs.

I work with a left back, but he plays in the Scottish Div1 so I am not sure he'll travel down - but I'll ask.

Shotts is wasted at left back. I dont think its a reach to say he is up there with the best centre halfs in this division. I realise that its out of neccessity but we need this remedying asap (as I'm sure GH is only too well aware).

ps Why don't we bring in the touchlines by a couple of yards either side to allow him a better run up for his throw-ins? Its not like we play with a lot of width.

Shotton is not only wasted at left back, he doesn't look comfortable there!

Thats cos he has to wear JJ's shorts and they are 2 sizes smaller!
