With the sad news about Townsend’s injury, do we need another LB and if so who would we target?
Connor Ogilvie from Pompey could be a good shout or a youngster from a PL team like Luke Chambers or Calum Scanlon from Liverpool |  |

Dont think we need one tbh.
Davis obviously starts when fit. Young can cover either flank. Greaves did a job there at the back end of last season, allowing Kipre to play in the middle. Boniface made the match day squad as well last season |  |

Not confirmed but almost certainly.

That is spreading ourselves far too thin. You would want 2 players for each position. Young and Johnson should be battling each other for the right side and we need someone to cover for Davis.
Greaves was an option last season and did well enough defensively. That was fine when in the Premier League with our backs against the wall. But he is extremely limited going forward. |  |

Would that assume that HClarke is on his way? Letting him go would potentially free up a space for LB cover. If we keep HClarke, and if Townsend is out for the year, then we're very lopsided in terms of squad members at LB and RB. |  | | |

H. Clarke has a serious injury and isn't likely to be going anyway soon. Whether he gets registered or not might be a different matter. | |

Sadly, I think it's time to let HC go. He has been injured on and off since he's been with us. | |

Cam Humphreys?
Good age (albeit not qualifying as an U21 for squad size purposes), just come off a good season on loan, knows the club and system inside out, can score goals. Covers some of the midfield positions, also. |  |

I would say yes. It’s a specialist position for us and the season is too important to take chances that a right footer can to the job or that Cam will suddenly gain the strength to defend and attack against championship power players down that right side. | |

Baring in mind we were trying a new role with that left fullback role.. we need someone else imo.
Cresswell annoyingly would have been ideal.
Brandon williams would be ideal now as he could do both sides.
I'd like to see boniface thrown in and given some game time. If at all possible. |  |

Boniface seems to have his own injury issue and hasn't featured for the U21s in their preseason so far. It's a real shame for him as you feel that if he'd done preseason with the first team he'd now have a good shot at a regular squad/cup place. | |

A half season or pay as you play contract for Brandon Williams would be my vote. If, and its a big if, he has grown up and finally realised that he needs to knuckle down if he wants to be a pro footballer, he could be the bargain of the decade. Hopefully McKenna is still in touch with him. |  |

We definitely need someone in with Townsend out for the season and Clarke also out for a long spell. We can't be tackling a Championship season with only Johnson, Young, and Davis at full back. Young is reliable but he's 40, Davis pushes himself and will get the odd knock, Johnson has yet to play a whole season as a regular starter. Got to get some cover in there. |  |

I would say we definitely need a natural LB added to the squad, it's ok saying certain players can play there but it's just making do rather than a round peg in a round hole. | | | |

Anyone know much about Boniface? At 19 we wouldn't have to register him in the 25-man squad. We could do without having to go into the market to find someone who would be ok with being a second-choice left-back. | | | |
