A full back is not in such a pivotal position as a central defender. Should he get the slip from a nippy winger the danger of conceding a goal is never as great if the same thing happens to a central defender.
Like I say the central defender is pivotal to the defence.
Yet more evidence.

As RedO says though his mobility isn't as big an issue as it's being made out to be.

Educated - you tell this board you are a lawyer and a chartered accountant - both need education to practice those professions

Another grown up thread about football ruined by lucky 7/spen. FTC was right, you’re making this place messy and ruining it for others.

Can you imagine anyone suggesting Coulson should be put out to full back because he’s a bit slow? I know times are changing but you’re still more likely to encounter the tricky, speedy player out wide than straight down the middle.
And that comment has what to do with the ratings given to players for yesterdays game?UpminsterO wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:57 pm It's relevant because if you ( spen )are an adult you ruined this thread
If you hadn't started by having a pop at me for posting my ratings, then there wouldn't be this pointless interplay.UpminsterO wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:01 pm Spen I will not bother posting again to you find another to argue crap with

You don't like me (even though you haven't met me), and I am sure the board members are aware of that without you needing to start having a go at me when I post.
Would you prefer me to make up ratings?
If you didn’t see the game then your ratings should be n/a as you are in no position to give a score. 0/10 suggests you saw them and it was an awful performance.
Surely if you're using that logic then it should be a 5 as it is the middle number on the scale?spen666 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:01 pmWould you prefer me to make up ratings?
I never saw anyone do anything, therefore they score 0
Cant believe you and others get so worked up by a throwaway post
It matters not to you or anyone what ratings I or anyone gives.
I give 0 because I never saw anyone earn any points
Working on a rating that I understand to be from 1-10, I gave a rating that shows I wasn't scoring anyoneRed_Army wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:33 pmSurely if you're using that logic then it should be a 5 as it is the middle number on the scale?spen666 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:01 pmWould you prefer me to make up ratings?

If I gave a 5 that would be a distortion
You're now just clutching at straws. A slow and not so mobile player is more of a danger to a side at centre half than a full back. A full back will also have a covering defender to rely on more than a central defender. It's common sense really. Or you could say just more logical.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:26 pmI did think things through, which lead me to conclude that Turley would be more likely to come up against a nippy player at full back than up front.

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback Jman, so nice to read some constructive and informative comments rather than all this petty squabbling 0/10 business.Jman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 3:45 pm Sticking to the football away from this 0/10 nonsense,
Streamed it. Poor game overall as has been mentioned but a couple of observations.
1) Turley was easily MOTM. One of the best defensive performances I've seen from a center half of ours this season and even though that's not saying much, he was excellent yesterday. Coulson quite rightly dropped after recent weeks and Turley looks well up for it.
2) Although still not great, we weren't overrun entirely in midfield yesterday, I think sticking with Wright and Marsh for now is the right thing to do. Clay just doesn't offer enough.
3) Angol is wasted on the wing and we should go back to basics in my opinion with him and Wilkinson up top next Saturday, it's by far our most likely route to getting a few more goals into this side.
4) Kyprianou's performance was mature and he should have a good shout to start next week.
Overall, a decent point, it stops the rot. Desperately need to improve our home form though, hope we can start that next weekend
