    Right back

    In my opinion we haven't had a decent one since Whittaker left! Last season when we had problems there I thought why no play taiwo there. He's strong good in the tackle and relatively quick! Seriously it's not rocket science why doesn't Fenlon move him to right back get a bit more energy in the team and more balance. Team for Saturday
    Williams

    So why not just stick with Stevenson short term if you want to convert another midfielder to that position?

    Fenlon would get dogs abuse if he tried that one!!

    He's far too wee.

    Defenders should be big guys ------------

    Ah! in the same way we tried to make Thicot a relatively good holding midfielder into a RB, that worked out a treat for us eh!

    I read this yesterday, and the more I think about it the more I think Tom would probably be really good at right back, he doesn't seem to be first pick in the midfield anymore, tough tackler, right footed, defensive minded(from what I've seen anyway), I think that would be worth a try.

    Apart from from 2 glaring errors, he's tiny, far too wee for a RB and has zero pace also, he'd get toasted almost every game with these deficits in his game.

    Just make Tom Hately a decent offer & get him signed, decent player who is available for nowt, problem solved.

    Right now the status of the Club is so low that I really doubt if Hateley would see a move to Hibs as being a career enhancing opportunity.

    That would leave us short of defensive midfielders

    I agree, he is a free agent, he is a right back and we could do a lot worse...... Like we are doing just now for example.

    I'd welcome this signing. ;)

    The problem with this is when Clancy is fit, it is expensive cover, or one of them is.

    This may be so, but having one right back, that is injured, isn't working.

    So our cover should be cheap and crap? If we signed Hately I think he would be first pick. Clancy isn't that great IMO.

    Christ, we have posters on .Net going radge about not playing players in their natural positions and here we are suggesting yet another player be played out of position. Just do the simple thing, as every other team does, we need a r/back [amongst others], so go out and sign one - Hateley for example. It isn't rocket science. Play everyone in their favoured natural position ffs.

    Correct. We'd be down to our last dozen. Crisis point has been reached.

    No but you have to balance the budget over the squad and I'm not sure we can afford two almost first pick choices in each position. It would be great if we could afford to but at times we have to allow young players to be the cover when required and develop. The Mullen thing has been a bit of an over reaction I think but if he needs to be taken out of it for a bit then signing a new right back who would be looking for a very good wage when Clancy seems to be a couple of weeks away from playing seems an expensive way to go about it.

    I'd obviously be happy of we could, the more the merrier in terms in good players.

    I would agree with that if we knew Clancy was going to be back in the first team soon and be able to play for a run of games without injury (no guarantee I know) but in the past he comes back for a few games then is out for a lengthy period.

    We need someone more reliable than Clancy, who should be punted at the end of the season anyway.

    Is he really small? He looks about average height to me, plus you don't need to be tall to be a defender, wouldn't have said he was slow either actually.

    According to reports Hately asked Motherwell if they were still interested and they declined. Means he shouldn't cost too much and would add experience to the squad. I think he also takes a decent free kick and corner and would add to the team. Would be disappointed if he wasn't at least enquired about as first pick full back. Sure he could move to other positions during the game if a re-shuffle was required.

    He's be a great signing. Also, it should be notes that his preferred position is CM.

    Defensive, energetic centre mids often makes pretty decent fullbacks if they have to play there.

    The defence with the most consecutive clean sheets in the champions league had flamini as its left back; a a right footed midfielder with not that much pace.

    Agreed, on the Mullen thing, I think he has been trying to hard. He crunched that boy early doors at the weekend and was scared to put a boot in after that.
