Walkers not a left back is he? last time Paddy played in that position he did OK


I meant Paul Walker at right back, with Caine Winfarrah at left back. We aren't playing AC Milan tonight, they're good lads and will be fine. Shaun and Toto will talk them through it.

Quoted from 75
I wouldn't have Bignot anywhere near my team unless he was making the half time drinks. Paul Walker, give him a chance as he's never let us down on the rare occasions he's been called upon. Sometimes the easy choice is to go with 'experience' but Bignot has consistently looked the weakest link when he's played IMO. Parsow at left back as he's a decent size over Winfarrah as Southport will sling it forward. If Parslow isn't too comfortable on the left I'd have no problems throwing young Caine and Paul Walker in.

Yes some good points, I see where you're coming from.

Regards Bignot, it's just he already has more game time under his belt.
On the one hand it's arguably less risky.
On the other, when to bring in new players can be a vicious circle if you leave it forever...

I rate Walker for sure, just a little concerned with his defending ability (applies to all of them tbf).
Get the impression he's better going forward, added to his occasional petulance in the challenge.

In short, get the impression he's more a wing back (or even a midfielder) than a defender.
As for Winfarrah, I wonder the same thing.
Quoted from RichMariner
Winfarrah has a few games under his belt - it's not as if he's untried. He played most of the match against Nuneaton at home after Thomas got injured and did well if I remember.

True but was also caught out within minutes of coming on. (not that you can't forgive them the odd mistake)

I do think these young lads need chances however, they won't improve unless they get games.
Even if there are cracks there, they'll learn from the experience and at least we'll know more.
So in short, I'd have no problem throwing them in either.
Like you say Rich, I think some of it does boil down to trust and having "faith in youth".

Some may argue it's not the right time and I'd see their point in a game we're desperate to win.
However I tend to agree with you Vicar.
Perhaps it's over-concern, they could be safe as houses.
Obviously all these defensive issues largely depend on how many problems Southport cause us...

You make a good point about size.
Just wondering if Hurst will move Toto to right back (to avoid Brodie) and bring in Doig for height.
I wouldn't be encouraging him to do it however, not that it might not be a good move.

I wonder if hurst would play the youngsters more if he wasn't constantly criticised? When you are under fire all the time people tend to opt for the safer options rather than taking a more risky approach of playing untried youngsters in newish positions?

A fair point and I'd tend to agree with you except I think we've shown a general reluctance to put faith in youth even before Hurst wasn't here.
At the end of the day, perhaps Hurst needs to forget about being under fire and just make the best decisions he can.
Easier said than done maybe !

I am a big believer in playing people in their best position & this means playing one of our younger lads at full back so be it. I think in the vast majority of cases us gfans like to see young home grown talent given a chance and they get our full support during the game and we all, hopefully, appreciate that there will be nerves and some misplaced passes and positional lapses. But as other posters have commented the lads will not improve not playing.

Parslow played RB, LB and CB for York, I reckon he will play LB if Magnay is unfit and Bignot will play RB. Not necessarily saying I agree, just think PH will go with experience for this one which is likely to be a physical battle.

For me it obviously all comes down to who will do a better job since we need to be getting promoted. There's no good playing youth just to give them a chance if  it's not going to win us games.  I'd go for Bignot and parslow since southport are going to be big and physical.

Well point taken but it's not just about giving players a chance.
Winfarrah looks a promising player and is left footed, so it won't do any harm in that respect.
That said I'd run a mile from Paddy at left back !

Not quite sure why you think Bignot is better suited to big players but it's a tough call I agree.
Whatever Hurst does some will think differently.

I now fully expect Magnay to start...
