I think we could be ok at right back with Kelly, J ‘O Brien or O Shea to fill in but who will partner Dunne and who will fill the left back position.
Paul McShane is not getting a game for Sunderland. St Ledger and Mc Carthy are both playing football regularly. I know, I know, it’s only the championship but at least they are playing football.
Our biggest problem area is left back and has been for quite a while. Kevin Kilbane is an accident waiting to happen and Ian Harte is finished. Darren O’ Dea is not a regular at Celtic and the only other left back I can think of apart from the Mr. Versatile JOS and Steven O Halloran is Damian Delaney, I have seen this guy play on a few occasions and believe me he is a good player. He is naturally left footed, fast, and athletic and gets up and down the pitch.Is there any reason why we can't try him in this position in the next friendly, apart from the fact he does not play premiership football.We need someone and there is no one out there so why not?
If ye don’t agrees with me I would like to hear what the alternatives are?
