Most of us have already suggested Richardson should play there.

And if not then someone like Stephen Warnock would be ideal for us. And of course Bruce will have had his scouts out all over Europe searching for players, there has to be a left back out there better then Phil 'Honest' Bardsley.

Prefer Phil "does a perfectly good job" Bardsley.
 
We were interested in Warnock but perhaps things have changed now McLeish is there.

Richardson is a decent shout at left back and he is already at the club.

Other than that, its not our responsibility to find a full back, its the club's. As fans who watch the games though, we have a right to analyse and judge the team, and many of us see the left side of the pitch as a weakness, and with good reason. I can't see how Bruce wouldn't notice that almost all of our attacks came down the right hand side and that we had a very lopsided shape to the side.

Bruce admitted the left side needed sorting at the fans talk in. He hasn't sorted it yet, his comments regarding Bardsley being two footed were baffling, he clearly isn't.

I like how he uses "honest" as a put down. :lol: Poor Rico havin to fight for a place, we'll see just how "honest" he is cos it's not like he has set the world alight so far here. That's Kieron "1 decent game in 10" Richardson by the way. ;)
 
Bardsley took his place and kept it. Simple really. Competition for places.
I was commenting on where bruce sees Richardson playing not who is first choice.
Injuries last year meant Richardson was utilised elsewhere on the pitch.

Bardsley individually may have performed well, but for the team as whole I would prefer Richardson there, especially if we don't get an out and out left winger.
 
Surely Bruce can't run the team on the basis of those doing a good job keep their place? That would be mental! Bruce out!
He was the only player available to play left back from about January onwards man. How is that possibly competition for places? :lol:
 
Its like talking to a brick wall this like :lol:

Anyone got a link to highlights of all of last sesaons games btw? They must be online somewhere...

It would be mental if it was to the detrement of the team and the way it functions. Good managers make tough decisions for the benefit of the team. We would benefit from having a balanced side.
