centre back partnership

[barney]

when fit, who should we play at the back?

i would go with elphick and lynch, both good, young and very promising players that can only get better the more they play. nothing against hawkins but i feel lynch and elphick compliment each other better.

what does nsc think?

 

[SeagullRic]

I wouldn't have picked him, but Hinsh should be included in this poll, as he is class when fit.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Virgo is interesting - we sold him for £1.5m and got him back on a free with kuch fanfare - but it's not really clear where we expect him to play regularly unless he is there as uber cover for virtually any position down the middle - in which case he saves us having more people on the bench.

Before the season I would have thought he was a shoe in for the CB position - but isn't now. A conundrum.

Elphick and Hawkins for me - men in the seat at the moment and doing well.

Crap poll.I'll leave that job to Adams.So far he is spot on.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Well if you wouldnt have picked him, why should he be included? No one's gunna pick him are they you lemon.

 

[Spider]

If Hinshelwood was fit I'd pick him over anyone I think, and definetely have Elphick and Hinsh as my starting two. Without him it's a tough choice between The Hawk and Lynch. I'd be tempted to say Lynch because I think he and Elphick play well together and will get better and better as a partnership. The problem is, our defense has been so good so far this season it's hard to argue that The hawk doesn't deserve his place.

Well Spider just did. Just because I wouldn't have him as a first choice when fit, doesn't mean no one will.

I would have Lynch and Elphick for sure. Both great defenders who compliment each other well, and capable of improving a lot lot more i feel.

ok, from now on, none of us should discuss football on this board. algie says so.

end of story.

i was going to include hinsh but there are enough ruddy options to put in before him, and the likelihood of him coming back any time soon for a prolonged amount of time is probably small

I'm fairly sure two options would hav been enough but i like the poll...

probably

but virgo should be a serious contender to play there. in my opinion he doesn't really suit centre midfield

I'm not sure he gets in ahead of Elphick, ynch or Hawkins though.

Someone else not spoken of so far is El-Abd who had a cracking season last year, some of it at CB.

when el abd is fit i would rather see him centre mid than virgo or so far what i've seen of livermore

 

[SeagullTim]

Col and Elf for me

Ye feel sorry for El-Abd. He will struggle to get in the team at any position now.

He isn't next in line for centre mid or centre back i presume if any injuries occur to current players. His only chance is a Whing injury really.

So would I

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

So would I

No you wouldnt.

Beats the famous Revell or Murray Poll had a bit of bollocks to create that one

 

[HseagullsH]

Ed let's not bring that up again! You prefer Lynch or Hawk?
