Townsend LB and Davis RB would be a nice twist 06:52 - Mar 7 with 1922 viewsRIPbobby

As it would free up Clarke to be his lethal best. Davis fitness would also cover our 'without Tuanzebe' RB issue. That's my answer to it all and I even get my wish to have Townsend at LB.

You’d swap them around. I think Townsend has some experience of playing at RB, but it’s not easy to find information about how much. I’ve wondered before as to whether KM would see Townsend as a possible emergency RB. Probably not given he had an option to talk about that this week but didn’t mention it.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Don t see it happening. O'shea will play there. We also have Godfrey or does he have a knock as wasn't in squad against Forest?

Johnson is also possibly more likely then switching a LB to there. RB is supposed to be Johnson's best position though he has not looked great when playing there unfortunately.

Godfrey hasnt been in the squad since his shocker of a half against Spurs. I'd be surprised if he starts another game to be honest.

I can see why certain people are (thankfully) no where near a football management role.

Poll: Lambert goes, would you prefer an ex-Town connection replacement or not?

Let's just put Christian Walton at right back.

I'd try Leif in front of Townsend at least once,
One can't defend one can,
Also Leif has natural thoughts is to defend( not great at it) so positionally he would be there with Townsend hence that would stop the left sided centre back constantly being dragged to cover, that way not leaving huge gaps in the middle for the opposition to just wander through,

The only reason Leif is dangerous is because he plays LB. He runs into space created by our left winger inverting. It's not the 90s, clubs at the top level (and even in the Football League) do not play two, traditional, left footed players on the wing. It's driving me mad seeing this being suggested time and again.

It would be a twist, Davis would be twisting to get the ball onto his left foot all game!

No it's not the nineties but these things go in cycles... like so many tactics, it's an obsolete approach until someone brings it back and uses it to good effect

But it's not happening until we get a new manager. So why waste time and energy bleating on about it?

It doesn't work. Many clubs and countries have tried it. Most notable for me was when England played Wayne Bridge at left back and Ashley Cole in left midfield. It was a disaster. The reason Davis gets the space is because he make the runs from left back. If we played him in midfield, he would be marked out of the game. It sounds like the answer sometimes, but it really isn't.

Then bench him, Townsend's a better defender gets forward and oh wait gets back in position,
He's struggling Leif atm, not as prolific going forward but that was to be expected different level this league,
He's told tries to do what he's done the last two years he gets caught time and again so far out of position it's damaging,

If you were going to try something different surely it should be Townsend at LB and Davis LW? Which isn't going to happen as McKenna likes Clarke and Philogene wants to play there as well.

Truly impaired.

I have no problem with that. Thought Townsend was brilliant against Forest.
