G - Centre-Back

[everard]

Some may recall my ramblings last season - when we were shipping in the goals with such generosity - for Aaron to be tried out at centre-back (I drew on my evidence of his performance there against Farsley Celtic I think it was (at their place) way back when Aaron was wearing short trouseres off the pitch as well as on it....

I thiought last night when I saw G line up alongside Holness that GR had seen the light at last too.......and then I read later - on the official site I think it was - that Aaron had only been drafted in there last minute because Stanno had taken ill on the bus....

but didn't he do well again? a clean sheet against League 1 opposition - I do hope he is given a few more games to prove his abilities in this position

G doesn't look as fit as he was as a youngster or when Pesch didn't offer a contract and he had to prove himself again. So maybe a role in the centre suits him. Would love to see him get a run there.

i thought that G had a good game there but i don't see him getting a run there unless we get a injury in that department. as we already have Diamond, Holness and Stanton also O'Connor and also cover there aswell.

P.S. does anyone know whats happened to Stanton i haven't seen anything in the paper for why he not been playing.

Migrane on the coach on the way to the game apparently.

[bidders]

It's always been his best position in my opinion.

G has proved himself to be one of the best left backs in lower league football since N Clough moved him there. He has always been able to do a decent job at centre back too.

I think that could be his best position for the remainder of his career, in a similar fashion to Mr Stride. Has always looked useful at centre half, his aerial ability has never been in doubt, he has less time to drift out of the game and doesn't have to hoof it down the flank all the time.

[gonner]

He doesn't hoof he dinks. But it's still aimless.
