For me Fabio is a top quality Championship player.

Why is he hardly ever picked by Russell Slade?

Probably because of his persistent defensive errors over the season

Fabio is by far our best left back

He was superb yesterday! Made a lot of challenges and never gave up once someone past him!

Need more players with his attitude and fight!

He was one of our top performers when he was starting week in week out, our fans on here were voting him MOTM very often, then he was randomly picked every now and then and his form dipped.

Without a doubt our best fullback, and while he will make the odd mistake I think his energy and what he brings to the team going forward gives us so much more.

He's been nursing an injury apparently.

He did well yesterday and didn't dive in too much either.

His only downside was a couple of stray passes.

Hope he gets a run of games now.

I'd be happy with him and Peltier as our full backs long term.

Perfect wing back, if we played wing-backs. Prone to dive in and, if you've noticed, when he was playing regularly, every team focussed on his side of the field and he was constantly exposed. Defensively, I'd go for Connolly and Peltier every game.

I'm not sure you know exactly what you're talking about there.

If Fabric is such a bad defender why is it that he regularly comes over as one of our best players and if you go to games you'll notice and hear regular applause and cheering at some of his regular and fantastic tackling.

Add that to the fact that he's undoubtedly one of our quickest players in both defence and attack and then tell me who would make a better left back for us at the moment.

Connolly looks awkward at fullback but should start ahead of Morrison. IMO our back 4 should be

Peltier manga Connolly fabio

Your right, when connelly or Ralls play full back they get beat far too easily. Fabio is our best option at full back without a doubt.

I'd suppose he'll be on the bench Tuesday tho slade has become a bit of a tinkerman mk2
