Ralls at fullback

Re: Ralls at fullback

Ralls played full back for us a few years back and was Ok. Now though he is awful, keeps getting drawn in to the middle or pushing forward in to his midfield position, and therefore out of position.

Hoilett has not played a League game since McCarthy arrived so it looks like he may not play another. We are out of the picture for Play Offs now, so play a few youngsters for experience.

Re: Ralls at fullback

There are other options ie Ciaron Brown who played left back for Livingston or play Perry NG there, althought im not a fan of playing full backs on the wrong side he is actually a full / wing back and has done fantastic for us thus far.

It doesnt have to be a straight choice between Ralls or Hoilett.

Brown is a no for me, left back maybe but wing back no. We need the width, many Wingers have been converted. I think it was us that turned Neil Ardley from a Winger to a fullback.

There has to be a player who can offer more in that position than Ralls.

Wing back is a young mans game. A nearly 31 year old Hoilett, who looks increasingly more knackered with each passing season, is not the answer.

Brown came on for Bagan at LB recently and was awful. So that clearly isn’t an option.

He needs to prove himself at CB as well.

I agree it could be a younger players position. Hoilett certainly isn't the solution but imo could be a short term fix ahead of someone like Ralls. I'm sure there are other wide players other than Hoilett who could do it.
