they are in the squad to be used when needed, like they are now, thrown into the firing line, you mean played in a match, something they train for all week, every week. They haven't been playing youth team football, they are part of the first team squad.
:lol: Training for it and doing it on match day are worlds apart
If bath or Onien got injured we would play Wright. Or Alese. Considering that would mean all 3 centre halves were injured that would be awful but you cant plan to have your entire defence injured at one time and have ewual replacements
We didn't even plan for when Ballard got injured, O'nien was put in as a makeshift defender because Alese has never played on the right side. Now Cirkin os injured some on here want to switch O'nien over to cover him, you couldn't make it up.

I honestly couldn’t care less what the website says. He’s not a midfielder. The evidence of 4 and a bit seasons in red and white is ample proof of it. You can count the good games he’s he in midfield for safc on the fingers of one hand - and the bad games he’s had in defence on the fingers of the other hand.

He's a defensive midfielder player playing as a makeshift CB, you can call it what you want but thats a fact.

It’s absolute bollocks. Everything about his game, his abilities, his performances says he’s a defender. He’s almost universally dreadful when played in midfield. He was at league one level. Conversely he almost always plays well in defensive roles. We could play Bailey Wright as a winger but it wouldn’t make him one.
 
Think we need to change shape if stewart is out
Agree, think a reversion to 4231 which saw us up ... The Sims/Stewart thing was never planned it just happened, bit like Williams/Craddock years ago. My call would be Alese, Batth, BW, Gooch: O9, Evans: Clarke, Pritch, Adan/Roberts: Sims .....

The lad is a defensive midfield player, you need to contact the club and tell them they've fucked up listing him in midfield and signing him as a midfield player.
 
Think they’ve worked it out now, mind, as he only plays in defence.
Because Ballard is injured and the other CB we signed has never played on the right. He was signed and is classed as a defensive midfield player. Again you need to contact the club and tell them that the squad is wrong.

I really don't, mind. I can rest safe in the knowledge that the club have finally caught up with me and can see that he's never a midfielder in a million years :cool:
 
Alese will just cover at LB or LCB until Cirkin is fit, even Gooch or Onien can drop in there if we're desperate.

Injuries to key players happen at every club and its a right bastard when it does, but theres no need to be losing our shit over it. You'd say any team is having some bad luck they'd lost their equivalent players in Stewart, Cirkin and Ballard.

Our first season back in the championship after 4 year is going to see us get tested as a squad and this looks like our first tough test...we'll just have to try and battle through it.

He was actually signed as an attacking midfielder. Anyone that watches football can see he’s a far better defender than midfielder, no matter what the club say.

The website, marra. It's the website that decides. The coaches don't have input;)
