Will we get a replacement for him and if so will it be a right back or C/half. What about Richard wood, just finished his loan at Fleetwood. any other players you would like to sign or suggest.

I'd rather have a plank of wood than Richard Wood. The guy is awful.

I think Martin needs a leader next to him so a right back would be my priority just so we can keep Ricketts at CB.

Rob Jones at Doncaster always been a monster when we've played them he's 35 don't know if he's alright at this level.
Would like to see Willis there when he's back with Ricketts back to RB. But does Martin require a senior player next to him?

I actually thought Wood was solid at this level. Left footed centre half, good in the air, goal threat...seems like the ideal replacement to me.

Harries not ready yet, Wood, no thanks. Pennington would be ok for me. I think we might need a bit of a talker though as Stokes mentioned Reda gets him through games...

Would take Richard Wood or Pennington, that said Mowbray knows what he's doing as proved with the current players we have in the side!

I think even with Ricketts into the middle, at the very least we need another CB option to come in.

Maybe Joe Cole could tempt Ferdinand out of retirement until the end of the season

Me too, would rather we brought in a right back.

Would be interesting to see how Bryn Morris does there. He apparently can play central midfield or central defence. Maybe that is in TM's thinking. If he is okay there, then when Wilis comes back we'll have 4 for 2 slots, Ricketts, Martin, Willis and Morris.
That would then enable us to get a right back in.

I really wouldn't want to play an 18 year old utility player at centre back.

how about using Harries or morris at r/b and keep Ricketts at c/b, easier position to get rid of the ball from??

so you want us to go through entire season with just 3 centrebacks?

Yep, exactly my point. The centre back role is different to the full back role because obviously you have 2 centre backs and just 1 fullback for each side.
We need more than 3 centre backs. We need 4.

yeah, better a cb playing at rb than other way round!
get a cb in, if money left over a rb if required.

Where did I say that? Is there not something called the "loan window" you can use to bring players in if you need them?
Oh look - I never said I wanted us to go through the season with just 3 centre backs

Fair enough But that wasn't the post you quoted and responded to, you quoted my post about not wanting to trust Morris as a centre back.
It's all about what quality you're going to bring in, for example Everton will not let Pennington come here to sit on the bench, and I personally would rather have Ricketts over Pennington. I imagine TM will bring in a kid on loan for a month as cover whilst Willis gets fit. You only have place for one extra CB in the matchday squad. I which case I'd rather keep our Ricketts, Martin and Willis as centre back options and bring in a right Back to push Phillips. Then use the loan market as needed for cover

yeah thats cool and could work as long as willis plays well enough for a team challenging for promotion and ricketts/martin continue to keep it solid at back
i wasnt having a go at you.

I think we will persevere with the back four from Tuesday until Willis is back. And when he is, my preference would be him to play CB as I think he's better there, but suspect that Mowbray believes he's a better RB given how we started the season,
Would still like Pennington back but can't see it happening

Richard Dunne... kicking his heels... no Club... no contract... or Guy Demel 6' 2" defender released by West Ham currently without a club... can play centre half...

Decent shout. Oldham seemed to want him back in the summer but couldn't afford him I think.

He has also become a bit injury prone as he has reached the latter stages of his career. Don't think we would get many games out of him either.

He's retired once then decided to give it a other year. I'd stay away TBH
