Emmanuel or Spence 10:09 - Jul 31 with 2229 viewsGooders7592

Who would you rather start at right back? I really hope it's Emmanuel, especially after his loan at Rotherham last season.

It won't be Emmanuel, he's barely featured of late and Hurst appears to be of the same mind as Mick (and me).

Last season I would have said Emmanuel, but I was impressed by Spence vs West Ham.

Yeah, he lost his man for their first goal like a boss.

Strange how right back for us continues to be a choice between two dishes in a menu from which the best things have already been declared off.

Spence, but I don't think either are good enough in reality.

Spence has the attributes but too often switches off and then compounds mistakes. His versatility makes him a decent squad option.

Both are too inconsistent really and probably have about 15-20 good games a season with a couple of big dips in form.. It would be great if they could coordinate the peaks and dips between them so we have someone decent there for 30+ games :)

Last season Spence was great while we were playing well, then it was like he forgot what he was doing from December onwards (whilst the rest of the team also struggled)

This sums it up. RB has needed fixing for a while...Spence can get us by...Emmanuel needs time out on loan again. Hopefully JD from Accrington can cement his place at RB and strengthen us there.

Why do people rate Emmanuel so little? He was Rotherham's young player of the year last year and made 40+ appearances. He's done all you could really ask of him in his year away. Surely now we have to be thinking that he's got the potential to outstrip someone like Spence, so needs to have some trust put in him.

Exactly. If he wasnt our player we'd be trying to buy him. IMO he's our number 1.
We could still do with another for cover though.

Completely agree.

Exactly this with Spence, so frustrating. He's quick enough, strong, reasonable dribbler just switches off during games and tends to not close his man down quick enough and lets the cross comes in.

I'd like to see Emmanuel given a chance

A lot of people who've seen/see him every day don't seem to be especially sure though.

And even the Rotherham manager said he was still too suspect defensively, even though he won the award there last season. Used words like tearing hair out etc

Emmanuel would make a good Wing Back, but is way too suspect position wise for a FB. Exactly the same issue Kenlock has, which is why Knudsen should rightly start.

Still. He played a full season in a promotion winning team the season before. If he has ever deserved a go in the team it's now.

I think there is little between the two.

Hurst (as with MM) appears to rate Spence as better and he sees a lot more than any of us do. He has seen a fair bit of Emmanuel last season too.

Threads along these lines are why some fear Spence is potentially being lined up as a scapegoat. You have the right to post the OP and for it to be discussed but I do hope Spence will not be scapegoated.
