Lissah position is centre back, who happens to be more than decent at RB as well.

There’s no way we should be in the market for a new RB this summer, Key on form is more than good enough, and we have Parker who is an able deputy, with Lissah also being an option.

Parker more than held his own when he got into the game and had support from Ronald. He will only get better with game time and experience IMO.

Thanks N_J, I wasn't sure which was Lissah's preferred position. Better news for us if it's centre back, as I think we have a bigger need there than at right back.

If a quality right back is available to us at a good price and doesn't stop us spending in areas with a higher need, then obviously we should make that move. Otherwise, I'm comfortable with Key and Parker battling it out over the summer, with Galbraith and Lissah available as cover in a pinch.

I appreciate Smurph's view that Key isn't good enough and others stating we don't know if Parker will be good enough yet based on his limited opportunities. I think Key has come back well in the last few months and Parker deserves plenty of game time before the end of the season to see what he's got.

I just don't think we're in a position to improve areas where we're probably just about good enough, we have too many needs. Right now, I'd say the only players in the team who absolutely don't need upgrading on are Vigs, Tymon, Galbraith, Vipotnik. I'm still hopeful about Franco, Eom, Widdell, Idah, Inoussa proving themselves good enough, while Walta is an unknown at this point. Outside of them, there are question marks for me over just about everyone else, which is a lot of players.
