Problem is, we don't have many FBs at the club. Just a load of CBs and midfielders used as wing backs. Gallacher has been loaned out, so we don't really have a better option than Tsaroulla at LB. I guess Travis Johnson is our first choice RB, who else can play there? Mazeed? I don't like the idea of switching centre backs to full back. We need to be playing people in their proper positions.
Going off topic a bit, is Ransom injured? I thought he payed excellently in defence for us recently - where's he gone? And is Mazeed still injured? As usual, a stony silence from the club on the injury status of the players.
Isnt Jayden Davis a RB?
Possibly. He's barely featured this season so far. I checked his bio on the OS and it says diddley squat. Our website really is rubbish. If he is he can provide cover/competition for Johnson. (Travis not Preston )

I thought he looked very good in the Fulham match and showed strong crossing ability especially but unfourtunatley he picked up an injury and had to go off. Massive shame because I would have continued to start him if that didn't happen.
Be interesting indeed to see what happens to some of the players now Betsy has gone. I heard very strong rumours that Morris is very much looking forward to returning after Christmas but I also wouldn't be surprised if we see a few departures in the next few months as well (either loan or permament)

I thought he was more of a wing back or winger and agree that he played well in the Fulham game. However, who knows about these things? Even such apparently simple matters as offside and handball are a mystery to me now!

Didn't see the Fulham game so I will trust your word on Davis. Which players do you think will be departing? A lot of KB's signings for us were on loan. Unless the parent club recalls them they will be with us for the length of their loan. Players who have barely featured like Mason, Marshall and Bremang will play in the B team. Unless we get an offer for one of them, or we farm them out on loan to non-league teams.
I pray you are right about Morris wanting to come back. I'm sure Lewis will get him back as soon as he's allowed. No disrespect to Corey or Robson, but we need Morris back between the sticks.

Agree with you, however they’ve given an injury update on Balcombe and he’s ready to play again. Difficult decision for Lewis?

Surely not a chance he’ll drop Robson after his performance on Saturday? He’s played two games now for us and been excellent in both
Have to agree. Robson needs to play. He was brilliant against Newtport, let him keep his form going. Resting him won't benefit him, although Lewis may well see this game as the ideal one to give Balcombe a run out.
I feel sorry for Corey in all this. He's been our number one all season, and now may find himself third choice. He could well be our long term keeper though. Balcombe and Robson are both only on loan, and will be gone at the end of the season, Morris may well be too.
I think Morris will be great to have around the club in the new year and he will certainly be able to pass on his knowledge and expertise to the younger goalies when he's back (especially Addai). However if Robson carries on showing similar form to what he did on Saturday and Balcombe also proves to be decent then I wouldn't be surprised if Morris doesn't play much at all after he returns. I would look to try and get him involved heavily in the coaching certainly.
As for Addai, I wouldn't be that surprised if he goes out on loan soon to be honest
