Midfield covers 3 positions, 6/8/10. Of the 4 positions he regularly plays, RB is the highest, give or take a handful either way.

You need to be reminded it seems.

Because he’s a cover RB and cover CB, where as Ethan is an actual RB as confirmed by his appearances there.

So whenever we concede a goal from the right then it’s because of Galbraith? 😂 What about when they come from the left? Or the middle? If that was the case, we would have 45 new defenders every season.

It’s not an experiment, he’s played there more than any other position in his career. Absolutely nothing to do with him despite people pretending otherwise.

It shows that the leagues we are signing these players from requires time and patience to bed in, it’s how we get value. Will be exactly the same as Leo Walta, clearly bags of talent but this league is extremely hard to adapt to, even Vipotnik has shown that. We should be firing next season now...

Exactly right, it’s what these forums are for, idiots like us to talk tic-tacs. But also I think we have to recognise Matos is putting Galbraith at RB week in week out and our upturn since that has happened. Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t change it in game now and again when it’s needed though.

I agree, it was a good mid-game tactical change for the reasons I outlined - but he’s also seen that we are better when Galbraith is at right back, which is why he plays him there weekly, and the same why Leyton Orient did the same. The OP isn’t referencing the short term change, it’s...

I didn’t say he’s caught out of position by design, I said he’s not caught out of position because it suggests he’s not supposed to be in the middle on a quick turnover, but he is. Matos selects him to start RB weekly, haven’t you noticed this? Do you think Matos has had an epiphany now and...

Because the game state called for it, Preston were 1-0 up and were giving us the ball. This allowed Ethan to come into the middle as they had no threat down the flanks sat in a low block. Matos has proven himself to be adaptable in game (just as Klopp is) but the system will more often than not...

But we don’t play that way. Matos has learned from Klopp, Klopps system is to have the RB playing inside as another midfielder. It’s what made TAA the force he was in the Premier League, there are few RB’s that can play that way and Galbraith is one of them. It means the team control the ball...

There is no real argument, his number of career appearances at RB speak for themselves. What we have now is some people faking a narrative that he’s suddenly being played out of position for whatever reason they have to do that. I am yet to hear of a player out of position at 24 years of age...

Doesn’t matter what his preference is, it’s what’s best for the team and both us and his previous team have found greater success with him at RB. I’m sure his preference would be to earn £50,000 a week too, doesn’t mean we should give it to him. I enjoy seeing such a natural RB playing for us.

Playing at RB isn’t out of position, he’s played there more than any other position in his career. He’s said he’s happy to play anywhere. Preferring to play in midfield doesn’t matter, im Sure he would prefer to play for Man City too…

He’s the top 3 best RBs in the league for me

League points after 34 games after parachute years: 2025/26 - 46 points ( 0 GD) 2024/25 - 40 points (-9 GD) 2023/24 - 39 points (-12 GD) 2022/23 - 43 points (-4 GD) 2021/22 - 42 points (-14 GD) Potters season was currently 1 point ahead of us as it stands.

That’s not actually true. Galbraith has played RB for both Man Utd youth and Salford, he’s always been a midfield and RB utility. He’s played RB at some point at every club in his career other than his spell at Doncaster, and over the last few years has played there more than anywhere else...

Watching Melker on the bench is sometimes more interesting than what is going on the pitch. Absolutely infectious personality, he is the first to jump up when we attack, first to celebrate when we score, last to leave the field as he thanks the fans.

The club didn’t say he was signed as a midfielder, we spoke about that before. The press release, which wouldn’t be written by anyone who signed him, said he was a midfielder that offers versatility across multiple positions and tasked with offering Sheehan variety in midfield - which was true...

Not lost a game under Matos when starting, winning 7 out of the 8 starts 👀
