maffff Based in u23s alone I'd say Howe has a lot more to him than Watson. Watson's unsuccessful loan doesn't do him any favours either. Watson seems to have the same issue as Gunters, stands off too much

Zip Watson has also been very brittle which doesn’t help.
Personally I am unconvinced by both him and Richards as defenders. Richards is very naive on the defensive side although looks good going forward.
I don’t share Ian’s confidence about our full-back options especially as we just don’t know if Obita can return to his previous level having barely played for two years.
Howe is unknown at the moment.

Scanning through, his point wasn't that we had necessary "quality" there, just we have a lot of options there, especially considering we're light in other areas
Gunter - first team for many years
Yiadom - contender for POTS
Blackett - improved, played regularly for three seasons
Obita - has played for nearly four seasons at first team level, maybe he won't return to his pre-injury levels but he could still be a good option
Watson - played first team for half a season
Richards - been on the cusp of the team for two seasons now
Of course there are qualms about all of them. But if you were to compile a list of players in each position, I'd say fullbacks is where we're most stocked. Certainly compared to CB where we have Moore, then three youngsters who hasn't played more than one/two games each

Plenty of quantity. Unconvinced about the quality.

CountryRoyal I for one would be absolutely delighted to have Ovie back. He improved considerably during his time here and offers something different. Ejaria > Swift. Fight me x

Snowflake Royal I think the comment related to Obita making a full recovery which would mean we had four proven Championship quality full backs plus three with first team appearances who all show various degrees of significant promise.
As I said, not up to the standard of Murty and Shorey or Griffin and Harte, but when you look beyond them we had Makin and Cummings plus Mills respectively and not a whole lot else. So the back up quality is better and in greater numbers now.
When was the last time we had seven full backs all with Championship appearances?
