Who will play at left back on Saturday?

[Turkey]

ffs why are people suggesting anyone other than Maxi? He's looked good every time we've seen him, why not play him?

Would be a pretty boring forum if everyone thought the same thing.

 

[Baaaald]

Maxi for me. But agree with those who say Spanish Dave was poor last night, didn't look fully fit then played 120 mins! El abd at RB there is no way the red card will get overturned.

I'd play Maxi instead of Upson purely because I can't see Upson really going up and down the wing - he'd play like a third centreback. Maxi did a great job yesterday getting forward and supporting the front players.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Dunk listed as left back tonight for DS according to official bhafc twitter feed, anyone there to verify that's position he's playing?

Yeah that's probably the best argument for it. Just thought I'd throw Upson suggestion out there as seemed to have been ignored as an option previously.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Maxi's done OK - I really think our midfield needs the extra class of Dave there as Crofts and Bridcutt have been disappointing and Kemi is still finding his feet. El Abd at rightback.

We are very under powered and under cooked at the moment, which given our strong pre-season fixtures is odd - but it shows the squad has weakened in depth to the extent we are having to play out of form players and those still not at full fitness.

Will be a famous victory if Oscar pulls off something against middling Derby, that's how our expectations are changing

El-Abd at right back is not a good option, yes he has played there before, but at this level, no thank you.

Lopez does not look fully fit and right back is probably the position that he can get away with playing not quite there.

Long time no reply and all that.

got to be Maksi, he looked good when he came on

 

[ewe2]

Abd Greer Upson Macksimenko

That will do .

 

[TheBigUnit]

Abd Greer Upson Macksimenko

It's gonna be this, isn't it! Happy with Maksimenko there to be honest (well for Saturday, anyway) played well last night...one of very few positives, from last night!

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Lets go ****ing mental = Vitalijs Maksimenko.
Easy choice, Maksimenko starts.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

I think that we'll see Dave at right back and Mak on the left.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Advantage of Upson is you get Adam El-Abd on the field too but I'd still go Maxi assuming Chicksen is injured. Shame about Calde else he would have been there with Lopez RB

 

[MissGull]

El-Abd at right back is a scary prospect these days. Remember Reading away the other year when he was brutally exposed by their wingers. Would rather stick with Spanish Dave at right back.

Watching the poor guy trying to run last night was scary. He looked like he was practically running backwards.

 

[stripeyshark]

Presuming we don't get a new signing by the weekend, I'd have thought Upson? Pretty sure he's played there before?

I'd have thought he would be a better option than Maksimenko or Orlandi? Although Maksi did alright last night.

Calderon. Same as the first two games.

 

[martin tyler]

Pascal chimbonda

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

If the appeal is unsuccessful then it has to be Makimenko at left back. He looked solid enough against Newport and got up and down the wing well. Lopez continues at right back for me with Orlandi coming into the midfield alongside Bridcutt and Kemy.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Maksi on the left, Lopez on the right.

Unless Calde's red gets rescinded, in which case, Maksi and Calde.

 

[B.W.]

Maksi on the left, Lopez on the right.

Unless Calde's red gets rescinded, in which case, Maksi and Calde.

Would be my picks too in lieu of the required LB signing.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Maksimenko seems the only real option.

 

[Zebedee]

Why the hell can't we get a decent left back in? We knew that Bridge was leaving some time ago. Why do signings seem to take so long at the club?
