Joe Worrall and Charlie Cresswell

Distinct possibility Forest Fire Cooper and the Worrall/Mckenna situation could change, with the new manager wanting them to play.

Early in the season, but they beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge with them both in the team at CB - Worral was captain.

They've now lost 4 in a row, and have just lost 5-0 to Fulham... Something definitely going on behind the scenes in my opinion.

Nixon mentions Worrall & Boro again in the Sun
MIDDLESBROUGH are ready to make an initial offer to sign Nottingham Forest’s out-of-favour centre-half Joe Worrall.

Championship side Boro want to sign Worrall on loan and possibly turn that into a full-time deal if they win promotion to the Prem.

Would be a brilliant signing that.

Van Den Berg and Worrall CB
 
Van Den Berg was poor yesterday IMO , not getting stuck in , out of position constantly and not marking his man .Fry was no better .
Worall and McKenna are up grades on both .
I think that's a general problem with our defending, but it was quite glaring at times with Fry and Van den Berg (who I like generally). There seemed to be no communication between the two on who was picking up whom. Whenever a Swansea forward got between the pair of them and in on goal they'd look at each other as if to say 'why didn't you pick him up'. They need to talk more.

Van Den Berg would work excellent alongside a real leader like Worrall. Fry doesn’t lead sadly.

We need to build the defence around VDB. A great talent. Worrall would be such a Good signing. Not fussed on McKenna to be honest
 
Fry puts me in mind of a big dozy farmhand at times. He's capable at this level under a certain style, but we're not playing like that.

VDB looks way better already.

Fry probably needs to expand his horizons and if we don’t go up he may well be on to pastures new..

Worrell seems to be the most likely of the two in on loan to replace the injured Lenihan

McNair out of contract at the end of the season will be another concideration.

If we do go up we need to move him on too

A liability at times and we just can’t rely on him

I agree but there's been too many combinations in that department. What with injuries, suspensions and general lack of form it has been difficult to find a solid partnership.

Jungle drums in Notts suggest Worrall wants a move to freshen up and play regular football.
His family and everyone are down here, but the pull of Carrick [+ a few other players we have in the pipeline] could be the decision maker for him. (y)
