Peltier left back, strange one by slade.

Sat Feb 28, 2015 5:41 pm

I can not for the life of me understand playing Peltier left back and Connolly right back. Yet Connolly has played left back most games when he's come in , Peltier had to cut in on his right foot every time you could see he wasn't suited to it after five minutes, it just didn't work today. What happened to ralls at left back yet 24 hours ago Peltier was 50/50 to make the game at least play him right back where he's always played. Bizarre by slade.

Played better again today wolves got the goal against the run of play imo as Connolly come across to slide tackle and got skinned which left Sako free to smash home who he left to slide in.

As for the ref well I've seen it all with there right back getting warned twice after a yellow card. Wolves took the man off but he should have been sent off.
The opposite happened to Whitts booked then sent off inconsistent ref be fucked.

That's my point Peltier has done well at right back since he's been here yet moved over to the left. Why not John or ralls left back and Peltier right.

Thought he did well there, was the better option there than Connolly

Didn't do too bad. Connolly was awful.

so why not put Peltier in his rightful position (right back) and put Declan at left back but no that is too easy to do, beggars belief :roll:

It's because Declan is absolutely useless as a full back. He is a winger and we are ruining him by pretending he is a defender. Ralls is a better fit at full back than John but it doesn't surprise me that Slade went for the more experienced Peltier who can play all across the back line which also allowed him to keep the experienced Connolly on the other side.

Connolly is a right back or centre back. When on the rare occasion he's played LB he has been f*cking awful. That's probably why he played Peltier at LB :thumbup:

Totally agree far to many games are lost by having players out of position, Le Fondre classic example.

but Peltier has right back every game when fit yet ralls played left back Tuesday at Wigan got praise of slade then dropped and pelts moves over for Connolly its a strange one by slade imo.
