Scott Young today met the media instead of Russell Slade

Defenders could become January priority

Scott Young admits the club may now need to look at defenders in January following the double injury blow.

“They are two top end Championship defenders and it will be a blow. But we have Bruno on bench and that is not a bad replacement

We may as well abandon our U-21, youth and academy teams if that is the case. We have two centre halfs out on loan !!

Turners been injured all season and Manga was injured for part of it and we managed then.

What was the fecking point of signing Tamas?

Agreed definitely would rather us recall Semi Ajay than bring someone else in.

i'd like to see oshilaja given a go personally. he has now picked up quite a lot of experience out on loan over the last few seasons

Does he really believe Manga should be behind Morrison and Connolly in the pecking order ?

What's wrong with maybe giving Tamas a run out??

Why sign the lad If he's constantly overlooked

Hope he's on a Pay Per Game contact

So does this mean plans for another striker have been scrapped?

He's a fool! Manga is our best defender!

Christ i'd forgotten all about Tamas! Definitely no need to bring another defender in then

Oshilaja another good shout.

Also i'm pretty sure Peltier has played centre back as well so he could move over with Fabio taking his place on the right and Malone on the left.

It's certainly no crisis

I agree.

So Scott Young is saying (or more likely , as he is hardly the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer , he is being told to say by Russell Slade) that we now need to focus on bringing in defenders when we probably have , in Manga and Connelly , one of the better pairings in the Championship with cover provided by an experienced ex-international and a few promising youngsters.- Peltier has also played centre back in the past.

Yet we really need to find a replacement for the too expensive Kenwynne Jones if the club is to have any chance of balancing the books financially even if it can shed all the fringe squad players out on loan by more permanent transfers.

it does seem an odd thing to say at present. If we get through the games v mk dons and forest with no injuries, then there arent too many league games to come untill morrison is back.

tamas was bought as cover. Now he will be the first replacement centre back on the bench.


i dont see it as a huge issue really.

I agree with this! I don't see it as an issue! It Means manga finally gets first team football and hopefully shows Slade why he should be first choice at the back and we have tamas as cover! bags of experience! Our loan players are performing well too and oshilaji gets good reviews wherever he goes! He's more than ready to be in and around our match day squad as cover!

He says no such thing, does he not know that Manga is not now, on the bench thick comes to mind :thumbup:

James Chester is looking for games prior to the Euros.

Get him in on loan :bluescarf:

Re: City Say they may now have to look at bringing in,in Jan

Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:00 pm

My bet is that Manga is being sold to pay for the incoming players. That way we will need another defender as cover unless Turner comes back

Re: City Say they may now have to look at bringing in,in Jan

Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:06 pm

Apologies, didn't realise that Turner was injured again
