The defence

[savage 4 england]

last night I watched the first dvd from the 2006/07 season. What stood out more than anything was the difference in full backs then and now. Back then, Musts and Shorey could bomb up and down and get ahead of the winger. With Griff and Harte, this just does not happen. So for me, the priority is to get 2 fit and hungry full backs.

We have one. Just need another.

I agree

As for centrebacks, well I have high hopes for Pearce and Morrison and whilst I don't like Mills, he is genuinely very talented. Gun can cover short term emergencies, so IMO with Morrison we only really need to bring someone in if Mills goes or we get a long term injury.

Harte can play central defence, so if a pacey left back becomes available we shouldn't rule them out.

Good point.

Re: Sonko. No thanks, he is not the player he was. His injury set him back physically, he was never the best defender, but he used to be able to recover brilliantly, after that injury his recovery isn't as good so I don't want him back thanks. Massive step backwards.

I would quite like to see Sonko back. However, I have a feeling that may sheerly be for the sake of nostalgia...

I assume you are referring to Shaun Cummings. If so, he really needs to be playing.

We'll have to change our style of play to a certain extent.

It doesn't really work having just one bombing full-back. If we do buy a left-back I expect to see Cummings play more.
