How can we put Brunt in at l/b as suggested? I've never seen him tackle anyone - well not full on - so speedy r/wingers will show him the ball and flash past him - creating scoring chances for the op team. Keep Gibbs and find a right back.

Did pretty well at left back last season, both for us and Northern Ireland IMO.

Considering the higher quality of winger, he didn't get exposed badly. I actually don't remember him getting ripped a new one at all as he seemed to use his body well. Also defended the back stick in the air better than Gibbs.

Although ideally I agree we would keep Gibbs, as that's his position.

I just thought Brunt looked really poor in the middle of the park in the game I saw (Forest) as he didn't seem to have the legs for it. I watched every game last season and thought he looked more accomplished at left back as his defending had improved and seemed to attack better overlapping. But it could be that he should only be a bit part player in any role at his age now.
