Has right wing back become a need?

[PittsburghBlade]

Well honestly 2 months ago we'd of not considered this one as Freeman played out of his skin and kept an energetic Baldock out of the team and rightfully so. Yet since the return of Freeman from Wales' training camp he's looked woeful and a shadow of his former self, leading to Baldock reclaiming the right back spot.

I think it's fairly obvious that although Baldock is a great athlete and covers ground well he's not the answer in terms of the type of quality that is going to get us out of this division.

I'd like to see us go after Ben Marshall if Norwich would sell to a potential rival or a potential loan move for Kyle Walker-Peters who would really benefit from the games and give us a complete new dimension down the right wing.

Right and Left wing back are two of the positions we need our better players in as they are so involved in the game and an integral part of us exploiting teams. I haven't given up on freeman as he demonstrated even in a lackluster performance put 3/4 crosses in that on another day we could easily score from.

Baldock is a solid option, but we're in a position where that little bit extra is going to be the difference between success and failure.

I'd like Marshall but does he have the fitness and defensive ability required to be a regular?

I don't think anything is likely to happen this window, but agree it'll be an area we should look to upgrade in the summer.

 

[Eric Cartman]

With Baldock's tendancy to pull a muscle yes. I have absolutely no faith in Freeman now.

 

[Chali 2na]

Perhaps in the summer, but in the short term, I don't think it should be priority.

 

[Lmaobob]

Got Bash/Cranie to cover at RB if really urgently needed

 

[Coily]

I think we'll look to bring one in, with Freeman going to Burton on loan.

Not sure what is going on with Freeman right now, he looks unfit and unhappy.

I always felt that this spot was well covered in our team, i still do, but going forward we will need a hybrid of the 2 guys baldock and Freeman if we are going to make the next step and consolidate. I'm a saddo and I watched the 'blue monday Ipswich podcast' before our match down there and Ben Bloom love him or hate him made an interesting point about our fullbacks being a bit scattergun in terms of quality, he off the cuff said we needed a fullback like James at Wigan who is on loan from Chelsea making the point he'd make us unplayable

 

[Reedy1889]

Would probably have to wait until at least the summer but Reece James would be my pick if we were to look for another RWB.

Stuart Dallas would be a decent option too.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Always rated Nathan Byrne, always seemed to turn it on against us and wing back his is natural position. I note he didn't feature against us last week though for whatever reason.

Freeman’s performance wasn’t acceptable. I’d try and move him on right away.
