Anyone else think this may be how we line up when Perry is back fit? Would love to see Kpakio continue his development and we are light down the left hand side

Why on earth would you put a right footed player, permanently on the left hand side ? :facepalm:
Some of the best left backs in the history of world football have been right footers - and there's Ashley Cole too!Quote:

Kpakio's done nothing wrong to deserve to be dropped for Ng so it may be a possibility
We will sign or loan one; it's the weakest position.Quote:

Albeit a moot point because I doubt he would drop down to league one.
If we were to try a right back at left back, why not keep the youth theme going and try Spiers? Or am I being silly now?Quote:

We've seen Ng play left back, he is very, very bad at it. It's a nice problem to have, having two good right backs. Both will get lots of game time, Kpakio can't be expected to play 46 league games.Quote:

They may be trying for Josh Wilson-Esbrand if BBM can persuade him and Man City, we could develop him and give him a lift in confidence at this level.Quote:

From what I remember, he was quick and liked to get forward, though not the best defensively. Maybe at this level, with BBM guiding him, he’d fit the team better.Quote:

Bagan’s on three bookings in three league games isn’t he and one of those arguably should have been a red card- he could be serving a suspension with the transfer window still open.Quote:

Not heard anything to that effect, I’ve been expecting an announcement that he’s gone out on loan somewhere. The appointment of BBM has been great news for so many of our younger players, not sure it has been for Giles though.Quote:

We have Lawlor, Fish, Chambers and Daland still at the club - Ng and Bagan have both played there also, and I think even Eli King has in a friendly hasn't he? that's before we have to dip into the academy players.Quote:

We've seen Chambers this season and Daland is on the way out, and 4th choice. We need a centre back.Quote:
