I'd imagine we are signing another CB and one of our current signings will be the successor to Fadz.After watching the Exeter game I'm a little worried that we seem to want to rely on him to much for the whole season.
Would have preferred a Mcnally type player much younger and more mobile.
He looked shaky/slow for sure but I first wrote him off about 4 years ago…After watching the Exeter game I'm a little worried that we seem to want to rely on him to much for the whole season.

Yeah thought he looked a weak link and think we may struggle defensively initially until we get organisedI highly doubt Fadz will be in the first team for the whole season. He’s been a great servant and leader but we need to hand the reigns to someone else.
I imagine our business will not be complete for the CB position.
100% agree. Binks/Or another at LCB, Thomas In the middle with Latibeaudiere at RCB. That's how I see It potentially panning out when Fadz isn't in the side.i think Bobby Thomas has been signed as Fadz replacement but i am sure Fadz will start the season
With a young defence, Thomas, Binks and Lati all being 21-23, we will need a more experienced head in there for organisation and leadership.Yeah thought he looked a weak link and think we may struggle defensively initially until we get organised
Robins has said as such
We've got the LCB in Binks haven't we?Thomas is being groomed for the Fadz role long term. When we get the LCB in you'll see Thomas move to the fadz role

Absolutely fair pointHis ability to organise and coach the younger centre backs offsets the lack of pace. Let's see how he gets on, he was written off after the promotion season but went from strength to strength.

Bidwell can drop in to LCB if required.True, but we dont have any cover there

SakamotoLeaving us with no back up for lwb
It was embarrassing at Exeter Faz pointed one way the ball went the other. He was constantly standing in Collins way. Surely being an international DMHis ability to organise and coach the younger centre backs offsets the lack of pace.

We have had Wilson give him the ball to build the play. With Collins we have an extra player in front of the ball.It’s one friendly game. He’s defied logic and expectation since we got promoted. We’ve always struggled in the system we play without him
Lati has been playing LCBhes been playing left out of necessity
Once we have another one to go with Binks, Thomas will play in Fadz role 100000%
So he can only play RCB?!Thomas is RCB
It’s not writing him off, it’s taking a pragmatic view that at 37 going on 38, it’s inevitable that performance will begin to decline at some point.Write Fadz off at your peril. No one goes on forever and the staff will know when its time to leave him out. We are building a squad and I think all players will get a rest at some point. MR likes to give players a rest when they return from International duty and we are signing quite a few internationals.
He's 36 , 37 in febIt’s not writing him off, it’s taking a pragmatic view that at 37 going on 38, it’s inevitable that performance will begin to decline at some point.
As a club, we need to have a viable succession plan.
