Title: What Is Our Best CB Pairing?
Post by: White Noise on November 06, 2011, 10:22:36 PM
Aaron Hughes must be back from injury soon but is he surplus to requirements in the middle when Baird & Hangeland are fit?

Where else do you think would suit Baird if Hughes comes back?

If Hughes can get back to his best he is no. 1. However, that remains to be seen.

Baird goes to RB if Grygera is out. Bad luck on Kelly but he's still 2nd choice for me at RB. Or you make Baird ahead of Etuhu for the 1st change CM role.

I like Kelly at RB but totally agree on Baird being first sub at CM.

Definitely. Baird was exceptionally poor in defence today. Worst player on the pitch.

For me, Baird is a CM and Kelly should be our first-choice RB. He's been fairly good there during the last months.

Yup, a fully fit Hughes - Hangeland partnership.

Taking into account Grygera's injury, we will be

Kelly - Hughes - Hangeland - Riise/Briggs

Not sure Jol has the bottle to drop Riise though as he's a high earner.
