Everyone saying we don't need a proper centre half.....let's hope Lati, Binks, Thomas and Kitching have miraculously become top end championship defenders in the last 3 months.

Bobby Thomas is one of the best young, and in general, CB’s at this level.

Imo disagreeing with that would make you fucking thick.

Half chance for City - Rudoni’s corner into the box doesn’t quite fall to a Sky Blues man after a brief scramble.

0-0 [36’]

I really don't care about line ups in pre season especially CBs. Aren't we playing Everton in about 3 days?

Correct, it's really about fitness and tactical familiarity. Though I'm pretty sure MR will also agree that the squad needs a few more

Don't think any on here disagree . The disagreements are about positions , standard required and costs

To date (from both clubs' twitter accounts)

WLADITT song from our fans
8 mins - some Germans had a shot in anger
16 mins - a Josh Eccles long range tester
22mins Latibeaudiere has won 6 successive headers

(I made one of the above up)
Click to expand...
So they haven't had a shot then

The thing with Lati is he’s played significant amount of games in two different roles - and he hasn’t particularly shone in any of them.

Back to the game though; inexcusable if we don’t beat these. Laughable to be expecting top 6…

A through ball and slotted in by the home side - but it’s ruled out for offside

Thought Lati had played him on cos he was well out of position but must have been just off

Fair. In an ideal world I'd have a better RCB alternative than Lati, a Dasilva upgrade at LB, another CM, forward and probably RB rotation option.

Of these the CM, CB and forward are the most pressing in my view.

OK, so one of our 4 centre halves is good enough. Even though Thomas wouldn't get a game for Leeds, Burnley or Luton.

Of course he would.

Think its CM , Striker, then a right sided utility player as priority. Anything after that will be a bonus . Can't see us signing a CB , can't remember us being linked with anyone this summer apart from Binks obviously

If we've basically written off improving the left back position because we gave Dasilva a long contract, then we're mostly hoping for Bidwell and Thomas to stay fit all season.

Having such a young and inexperienced player as your only available CF should send a message to the owner that we need to open the purse strings and get some cover in.

Honestly, I can't believe I've actually had to explain that to you.

Not saying he's the answer, but can't Burroughs play left side (he is ambi-pedal, or whatever it was called). Think he may have played for us once before in that position. if he can cover both flanks in an emergency, he ought to be useful to keep around.

Might also be that something isn't right with the training regime if so many players are getting injured
