I disagree entirely the centrebacks often and in particular with fry get blamed for goals conceded when the defensive problems are in other areas. Yesterday we had major problems on the left with engel badly exposed due to coventry over loading and Greenwood tracking back like it was a school game. On the otherside frys partner clarke was practically immobile after taking a knock in the first half. Yet according to you fry was primary culprit for the defeat. Fry is the least of our problems. We have only 1 half decent fulback at the club in the injured tommy smith and even he isnt that great. Until we recruit some better fullbacks we could play any combination in the middle and they will get badly exposed from wide areas and results like yesterday are inevitable. We must have one of the worst pool of fullbacks in the division.
Smith - steady eddy middling champo full back
Engel - lacking championship experience poor defensively
Bangura - ditto engel lacking championship experience poor defensively
Dijksteel’s - Consistantly inconsistent can play well and can have absolute shockers cant be relied on
Vdb- decent defensively but not his natural position poor offensively
Coulson - absolute garbage in every aspect amazed he was given a new contract
Obrien - played very well at left back but not his natural positon
Until we get two good championship fullbacks into the club we will always be poor defensively stop blaming fry and the other centre backs
