I share my concerns about Richardson at left back Tony but then Mickey Gray and Julio both made the transition successfully. Should the runours be true that Mensah is due to resign any moment now – we would have more options at the back and 3 – 5 -2 with two wing backs is viable.

With a back 4 though I think Richardson looks less suited to the role, but then the coaching staff’s job is to develop his awareness, technique and understanding of the position. I’d be happier with a proper left back signed but with the 25 man squad limitations at least Ricardo fulfills the nationality criteria.

Hi
Despite this being a friendly I’m concerned. We couldn’t string two passes together all afternoon and he defenfence looked like a bunch of strangers the keeper looks like he’ll do OK though. Finally can someone have a word with Bruce and ask him why he persists in putting all 11 of our players in our box on corners.

Hopefully Richardson isn’t going to be playing full back regularly.

Hi thanks for the great post. I agree, a landmark siging would be great, but I also think that this is looking increasingly unlikely. It seems like the purse strings are being kept pretty tight this summer, and I don’t honestly think Brucie’s got too much to play with. If you aksed me a month ago I would have happily said that we will end up with either N zogbia or even better superpants (remember that?) from man city, but with brimingham the only club being linked with N zogbia and nothing being mentioned about Ireland despite City’s need to cut their squad numbers, I think we’ll end up with what we’ve got. A decent squad, but we’re still lacking someone to really unlock things unless Henderson really pushes on this year.
