If McKenna didn't trust Burgess to do the role, there is no way he is going to trust Baggott either.
That said, I liked the look of Baggott when I did see him play and I hope he will, in time, make it with us. |  |

I don't think there is any suggestion that KM didn't trust Burgess to do that role?
Burgess just chose to leave.
I don't think it will be Baggott though. |  |

It is clear McKenna ranked Greaves and O'Shea ahead of Burgess. Unless I have misunderstood the OP's intention in their wording of "who will be back up". On reflection, I assume they meant "who will be the new back up to Greaves?" rather than "Greaves (who will be back up)". [Post edited 14 Jun 17:32]

I'm not sure we buy someone to be 'backup' to Greaves but if we are still keen on the 2 for every position mantra then it'll either be a younger player like Baggott (if not now... then when tbh?) or we'd get in a senior pro in.
Or we sign someone equal to Greaves, but who would be prepared to fight for the place. Unlike Burg who at nearly 30, wanted regular football. | | | |

A chance for Baggott to stake a claim maybe? |  |

I think he meant assuming Greaves is first choice, who will be back up to Greaves?! | |

Yeah, he obviously trusted him. In a strange quirk of fate, it’s not impossible we could effectively do a player swap with Swansea and bring in Harry Darling, who’s also out of contract. Russell Martin wants to take him to Rangers apparently, but I’m sure other clubs will be looking at him. I’ve obviously no idea if we are though. |  |

Heavily rumoured to be reuniting with Liam Manning with them lot, with Sheff Utd and Birmingham also linked. |  |

Greaves.
He’s technically the best centre back we have by a country mile. |  |

Strange, I didn’t see any evidence of that last season. I’m not convinced by him at all. |  | | |

Wonder how many more we will lose now? Ashton or McKenna alluded to " a couple" leaving. But it's starting to feel like this is going to end up a bigger rebuild (on the assumption we lose Delap, Axel, Burgess, Omari, Davis, Szmodics, & Broadhead, who have all been mentioned as potential departures), than has been suggested by McKenna. I hope we don't lose many more because for every new player we bring in as replacement is another settling in period the team has to go through and we really need to hit the ground running from the first whistle. | |

We best get on with said rebuild too. I don’t want us hanging around waiting to see if will he or won’t he sign for a month, then have to start making panic bids like last season for Lathe at the last minute. | | | |

I agree with you. Once he returned from injury ( and Burgess was dumped bavk to the bench having played really well in that period of " cover,"), I thought Greaves looked totally out of his depth on many occasions. Maybe he's just a good championship player, and struggled with the step up (like do many did) | |

Really, his positional play is all over the place, he has the turning circle of a battleship and for a big guy he loses duels too easily and his heading is average at best. | | | |

Totally agree, the over-obsession by McK on certain players like Ioannidis, Broja, Downes, Philogene and Latte Lath last season has resulted in us failing to sign anyone fit for purpose. We can't have last minute desperate signings like Ben Godfrey this time, what a joke that was.
Next season is imperative to hit the ground running, not waiting for more last minute signings to "gel" and lose ground. Pre-season is also important to get players up to speed, look what a disjointed team brought us last season.
If we lose Tuanzebe as well then we need at least 5-6 signings at the back, CM and a 9 to replace Delap at the very least. I can't see where these players are coming from. | | | |

True but I do think KM prefers Greaves . |  | | |

Baggott’s a long way off I think. Greaves will start and we’ll recruit a replacement for Burgess I imagine. |  | | |

I wouldn’t think we’ll lose all 3 of Omari, Broadhead & Szmodics.
Delap was inevitable. Burgess & Axel are out of contract and that’s the risk. I can see 1 more big ticket departure like Omari, O’Shea or Davis for big money. Aside from that I wouldn’t expect too many to leave from those considered regulars. | | | |

This argument comes up time and again and is silly. We dont know what discussions were going on, and it is nuts to assume that because we are talking to one, we are somehow ignoring all other options. | | | |

Nobody. O’Shea, Wolfy and Greaves supplemented by Axel are fine (if Axel stays) |  | | |

Loved burgess once KM got him playing. But did you see him at holker street a thousand or so days ago?.. [Post edited 14 Jun 23:45]

Greaves.
He’s technically the best centre back we have by a country mile. |
Technically seemed out of position constantly last season hence the numerous heroic last ditch tackles he had to make. |  | | |

The classic point that the Defender who doesnt make those hero tackles, and doesnt get noticed, is probably better.
Wolf btw. And Burgess. Our best two CBs | | | |
