Our fullback are not good enough for PL

Tue Jan 14, 2014 12:13 am

Everyone slating Hudson and Turner but the truth is our fullbacks are not premier league quality. We need a new left and right back asap. KTC looks a liability, and as much as I love kev he is not the man to save us and should bow out a city legend. John will be good but just not ready yet. My mate is a Derby season ticket holder and he can't understand why we ain't playing Brayford as he rates him highly.

we need three for our back 4, its f*cking criminal tbh..............a team built to defend but without half descent defenders.

I think if we played with 2 natural wingers it would help tho - which it's obvious Ole is looking at. As our fullbacks are playing as makeshift wingers all the time and are caught out of position a lot.

youngsters have to start somewhere despite weaknesses but i think John is up to it at leftback. he's excellent, downing didn't get a sniff against him. i don't think Taylor is that good but he's adequate back up because a club down the bottom won't have the chance to get a top class full back wanting to sit on the bench.

KTC is just having a sticky spell but come on, we've all seen enough to know he's going to be a top player. u can't chuck players because of a few dodgy performances, stick with and support your players. plenty of cover for him at rightback....naughts connolly and brayford. all good players.

centrebacks....im also happy here. caulker is obviously first choice. for me id have turner, for all his annoying hoofs, he Is a bloody good defender. he has pace and strength and reads the game well. of course he's had a sticky spell too but the team as a whole has been short of confidence. backup his Hudson and connolly. they're adequate, again u won't get anyone to come sit on the bench that's better than them.

ease off our players lads and support them. we're a newly promoted team so we won't be full of superstars.

You know it only seems like a few weeks ago we were saying how consitant taylor was......how we got a bargain with KTC and what a good player he was......and John was man of the match.............how fickle the fans are getting.

KTC has always caught the eye going forward, rarely defensively. Pretty much the opposite of super kev in the past
