Against Wigan (yes i know) he played on the left of a 3 and really impressed me. Looked very composed. He has also played on the left for Leicester.

alreadyexists Posted September 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2017 Pop him at left back, he'll do very well I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's played league cup but the intensity in early rounds is miles off championship standard. Wigan reserves not on the level of Wolves it's fair to say. Think we'll see Hutton there personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do i think he is a better player than Hutton, he also has far more experience that Hutton at left back. Its probably all irrelevant though, if was a betting man I'd say Bjarnason will get tje gig. #shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2017 If RDL has any use in this squad he will be left back for the period Taylor is out. If it wasn't 3 of the hardest games we will face this season I'd be quite excited to see what he can offer, given a guaranteed run. We can just hope that at the end of this period there is a genuine question to be asked of who's first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is - but then so are the other possible replacements for Taylor - Hutton was preferred as a back up left back earlier in the season in a cup game (and was poor), Clark did a good job (in a cup game against a weak side) and Bjarnason isn't natural there. We're weaker whoever picks up the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Bruce talked about failing to get RDL out on loan before the window closed. Bruce clearly thinks he needs games of a high intensity to get back up to speed. I willl be very surprised if Bruce has much faith to throw him in to a full blooded Championship game with so little football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2017 If he's fit enough I'm sure he can fill in at LB. He's a decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Has to play at left back IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's definitely good enough, as you say it's just the fitness and match sharpness that I suspect would be a factor if he doesn't play. I'd prefer to see him there more than anyone else (except taylor obv). Edited October 6, 2017 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I know he played against Wigan, but any idea why he's not featured for the under 23's since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm hoping he gets the leftback spot now. I think we've been wondering where he fits into this team, or if he fits into this team. His reputation as a Premier League footballer is bigger than the impact he has made at the club so far and this is his big chance to change that. If he has any future in the first team and not as 'defensive sub #1' then he needs to grab this chance with both hands - if indeed he is given the opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I really hope we pick him ahead of Hutton whatever happens. if we're to give out chances to step up into the main fold then it should be players that have a potential future at the club. I hope he works his socks off to get into fitness ahead of the wolves game if he is indeed unfit atm. Bjarnasson? hmmm, wouldn't gamble on him at LB.

fightoffyour Posted October 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2017 Bjarnasson or Hutton at LB for 3 games (or even 1) is a frightening prospect. I hope we see RDL or a youth player if he's somehow not fit or "up to speed", but I'm not optimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you don't suggest we'd actually PLAY three at the back, do you? Especially away against Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
