As a "quick fix" to our RB problem, should we try and sign Lamptey from Brighton, on loan? Not even named as a sub yesterday. Don't know much about him.
25 Aug 2025 11:10:33
RB problem? We have 3 possibly 4. Patterson, O'Brien, Garner, Coleman (at a push) .
25 Aug 2025 11:20:30
O’Brien’s not a right back, Patterson is off, Garner is currently our left back and Coleman cannot be relied upon to play 90 minutes. We’ll be signing a right back for sure.

Since obriens being played at right back we hardly concede a goal best defence in league so he must be doing something right.
25 Aug 2025 11:50:29
O'Brien is/ was a "shoe in" for the injured and aging Coleman. He's a CB. Patterson isn't good enough (at the moment? ) . Garner is also playing out of position, as our LB. He's a CM.

Dibley isn't a natural RW. O'Brien plays well as a RB. Garner RB for England (versatile) . We will see. I would like a natural right sided player to come inm preferably as a RWB,

We need a proper RB, not anything to debate.
25 Aug 2025 12:18:39
Lamptey fits that criteria. He can also play as a winger. The reason I mentioned him.
25 Aug 2025 13:03:47
Not anything to debate! Formerly Brown shoes has spoken. ?.

A RB comes in which two out of O'Brien, Tarks, Keane, JB sit on ghe bench.
25 Aug 2025 14:34:53
Definitely need a RB, we need to get away from playing people out of position. As for Jake playing well, he was put at RB because he couldn't get in at CB. The lad himself has stated that he prefers to be in the middle. If we brought in a natural for a full back then Jake would either sit on the bench and earn his chance or he will replace either Tarks or MK. He then has to seize his chance in his more natural position.

I’ve been thinking about this DMS.
It would probably be Keane, but Tarks has had two fairly iffy games. Yesterday especially.
The bigger question is how much would we get for Patterson. Not a lot of return from the £12M (I think) that we paid for him. Another example of the transfer madness of the last regime.
25 Aug 2025 15:18:50
No debate?, Keane and O'Brien with OB coming into shore up the defence when required.
25 Aug 2025 16:08:18
Lhrblue: Who's OB?
{Ed025's Note - he might mean O,Brien BBS..

It’s ok for us to aspire to having more than 11 good players. Good players can sit on the bench sometimes. This is how we’ll improve, with competition for places. Fully expect Moyes to sign a right back.
25 Aug 2025 18:54:07
Keane and Tarks (based on his form) on the bench for me. Might be while until JB is fit though.
