Pranks I heard you and Baz had a name change bet? What's he going to make you change it to?

Everyone seems happy to bin AWB off, but like him and would keep him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Like to see him stay fit first, same goes for Licha and Shaw.

For all AWB offers defensively he's very limited for the modern FB. FBs are crucial in providing width, creativity and goals.

Don't get the hatred for AWB.

Injuries aside he is a good player. In the cup game he and Onana are the most comfortable under the press at the back.

It was obvious he was given Slash as his duty and he marked him out the game. The lead up to the goal was huge space and 2 players he had to mark. Basically Rashy never helps the fullback.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

He's technically nowhere near the level required to play fullback in the modern game. That's the problem.

In the 90's when fullbacks didn't have to do as much attacking he'd have been perfectly fine but the game has moved on.

Give me Denis Irwin any day of the week, he'd walk into any team now even Pep's!

You can't really put the injuries aside though. Without checking, I'd guess that he's missed more football than Shaw has over the last 2 seasons - and he's nowhere near as good.

We need to do something about our full back situation because its cost us massively this season. If we had a right back who could stay fit, allowing Dalot to move over to the left, it wouldn't have hurt us as much as it has.

Something's got to give there and for me it's AWB. We also need a LB for depth, but I think we can almost 2 birds buy getting a good RB (who for the love of God can stay fit). Keep Shaw for now, but we can then also use Dalot for that side if needed. Presumably Malacia will be back by next season, but in what condition I don't know.
