Zip Hound Blackett is reasonable enough tbh. Would like to do better but he is ok
He’s at best OK. We also don’t know if Obita can return to his pre injury level of performance. Neither Richards or Watson have convinced they are good enough defensively. Howe has played a handful of minutes for the first team. Gunter is at a similar level to Blackett. So plenty of options but not necessarily great ones. If Yids picks up an injury we really don’t look good in this department.
Love how so many people can miss such an obvious point. These, at the moment are our current options (excluding untested youngers). I'm not counting Meyler or McNulty as they clearly have no future
GK - Walker
RB - Yiadom, Gunter
CB - Moore, McIntyre at a push
LB - Blackett, Richards, Obita
CM - Rinomhota, Kelly? (on his way out probably)
RM- McCleary, Meite
CAM - Swift
LM - Barrow
ST - Bod, Baldock, Loader - again the first two may be on their way
So you can quite clearly in terms of FIRST TEAM PLAYERS, the fullback positions nearly take up 1/3 of our current team, hence that is our most STOCKED position, as the original statement said
Hence, it's probably one of the lowest priorities. If Yiadom gets injured, we have Gunter and Blackett. Not great options but certainly a lot better RIGHT NOW than if say Barrow, or Rinomhota or Moore gets injured etc etc...
