Do we have the slowest back 4 in the championship

[Hillfoot]

looking at the 6 goals we have conceded in the last 2 games we seem to be beaten by pace every time, our defenders seem so sluggish

On top of that discussion, there is no competition for places there. Wood/Cabango are basically un dropable and whoever feeds their egos..they will carry on stealing a wage.

 

[Swanjaxs]

The two worst centre backs for sure

 

[monmouth]

Yes, we probably do. Maybe if Pederson had stayed fit for Wednesday it might be a close thing.

If Darling is fit he should replace 1 of them

Fair shout, but he'll end up RB.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Probably but I'd stick with Naughton until Key is fit & get Darling in as centre back.

 

[J_B]

Probably the slowest in the entire football league.

 

[Cooperman]

A distinct lack of pace coupled with the fact that they are usually stood in the wrong place = regular shipping of three, four, five goals per game.

I like Tymen, he’s direct and pacey and gets forward well. Then you’re talking the other three positions. We’ve certainly missed key at right back and then Darling should be one of our central defenders. Then you’ve got the calamitous duo of Cabango and Wood. Which is our weakest point.
A dominant ball playing centre back is a must for the summer.

Pace wise they are way off, more worrying is their football intelligence. Over the years some of the best centre halves haven't necessarily been the fastest, but their understanding and ability to read the game makes up for it. Unfortunately Wood and Cabango are slow paced and slow thinkers. Both stealing a living at this level.

Rodon and Ampadu looked like they had an extra 30 seconds each on the ball on Tuesday

Not sure pace matters, they just aren't very good especially the two we have played at centre backs over the past few games

 

[Deleted member 1454]

All 4 of our centre back options lack pace, aggression, positional awareness, football intelligence and technical ability on the ball.

It doesn't matter whether they've been played as partnerships in a back 4, or as a trio in a back 3, nothing works, nothing can cover for their myriad deficiencies.

They are all just not very good players for this level, it is as simple as that.

 

[sainthelens]

Cabango fckn about giving them the first goal, lost count of times that's happened. Arrogance can be the only reason he doesn't learn.
