Danny has said he doesn't think the budget will stretch to a cover R/B.

That might well have been because he wasn't anything like fully fit when he came back.

Wilson did have some very good reviews upon signing, I don't think we have seen the best from him yet. I guess if DC thinks it's worth not signing cover for RB so he can fully use the budget on the other remaining 2-3 players then so be it, he usually gets it right.

Getting back to Chapman and his gradual progress with the first team.
I think he will be used regularly as a sub coming on with probably 20 mins to go in each league game this season.
And possibly then being a regular starter in all other games.
But next season I would think he could be a regular on the team sheet.

We won't need it. We'll be 15 points clear of the pack and using the games to blood the youth team by January.

he was ok at Right Back. but then that leaves us short at Centre Back. It would be alright in the case of a suspension or injury where he misses a couple of matches. I wonder how Toffolo or Habergham would perform at Right Back.

No we can’t. Hence the change in system.

I would imagine the truth of the matter is that it is easier to shoe horn Wilson (experienced player and played there before) into the right back slot than it is to move Wharton (younger and clearly not a full back in any way) to left back. L2 football means compromise and risk management somewhere along the line so I can see why RB is where that has been taken. Very hard to fill the back up role knowing that Eardley was star man last season and if he carries on in the same vein he is not going to be dropped.
I believe so, mentioned on here a few weeks ago. Big loss having someone with proven experience replaced with an intern.

You're going to have to give me a clue, haven't heard of either of them. What position do they play?

time will tell ...AW was like playing with 12 men........we will get a better understanding after half a dozen games.
replacements for Woodyard , very difficult to find,plus he was fit every Saturday

Wilson is never a right back and anyone who saw him perform against Exeter away will recall he played like a fish out of water and set up their first goal.(he was filling in only,no other options,Eardley played lb that night,squad down to bare bones)
he is a right sided cb and even if played at the left cb role he is not comfortable.
cover at rb still unresolved....Eardley gets injured......we are in the brown stuff------now is the time to get a fix.

I've no doubt the Boss could.cover well at right back if requured, no one would get past him!
It's that easy.
Realistically, how many clubs have a utility player to cover both full back positions?
Very few. We'll need to make do with what we have in the event that Habs/Toffolo, Eardley/Wilson are out. It's an unlikely situation but with a small, quality squad you can't always plan for the worst case scenario.
