The Left Back Situation

[ozzyten10]

I’d play Bong. Better keep players where strongest and we are away so not as many groans from the side of the pitch - thought he defended well on Tuesday and played some good line balls too. I am his biggest critic but also would be interested to see Lolley given a go at LWB

Tomorrow night we are playing a physical high energy team who have a lot of height and excellent at set pieces. What about McKenna playing left back in. 4 3 3. He won’t get forward but will compete in the air. He is slow for left back but will Bong be any quicker. It would allow us to have an extra body in midfield to compete for 2nd ball with the likes of the combative Mowatt. Just a thought.

I would play ojeda left back he is in the team now and has the energy

[Portchester Tricky]

I was thinking the same myself.

He's probably never played at left back in his life and you just want to throw him in against West Brom away.

[tugger2018]

Yes I would sniffer if we play 343 his role will be similar to a wide midfielder and he looks to have all the attributes so it’s a yes from me

Sniffer? Nowt to do with me mate.

And neither had Colback judging by his performance at LB vs Luton.  Out of the two, Oj looks like he'd have the calmness and assuredness to cope with that 'specialist' position.

Good footballers (and that's what Oj is...) can play anywhere.

A position that involves 'crisis management' (yet again.).  It's not like Forest couldn't have seen their only LB signing getting injured.  That's Sod's law.

I watched the football clips of his performance on the ball.  It was an excellent debut.

He stood out from the rest of the Forest team.  He looked comfortable on the ball. :P

I hope he's involved vs WBA.  A game where Forest will need some composure.

Thats some very logical thinking Mel from someone who, if i'm not mistaken, often likes to wing it. :giggle:

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I am sorry chaps but we can't just throw OJ in at left back/wing back.

For me it's either Bong, Drager or move Mckenna across in a back 4 and bring Figs in.

Richardson anyone??
