    Who would be your pick for Right-Back this season? I would trust Mark Wilson against anyone but Rangers and it's nothing against his ability, it's the fact that Lenny plays Brown on the right against them and they seem to have that sorted by sticking Wylde on the left and everytime they get the ball get Wylde on the ball with Papac overlapping and Brown is nowhere to be seen because he always tucks in.

    Wylde ripped Wilson apart in the Cup Final with his pace and I think Lenny this season should either play Cha or Matthews at right back or drop Brown? Or he could play this midfield of

    Commons Kayal Brown Ledley

    On to Matthews and I was quite impressed with him against Cardiff but he really needs to learn when to put a cross in, I can't remember and occasion when he put the ball in the box? But he looks comfortable on the ball and has pace, don't know what he's like in the tackle yet.

    Cha, there's mixed feelings about Cha on here. Some say he is suspect defensively and some say his pace helps the defence. I am undecided on him as he looks really uncomfortable when he has the ball at his feet and his play can be sloppy what on other occasions he has a really good cross, really good in the tackle (he doesn't lose 50/50's) and to add to that he's a bit of a nutter.


    Who do you think should be Right-Back this season? :shamrock:

    Mark Wilson had a great season last year and was probably, infact no definitely our most improved player last season so on that alone he must start as first choice.

    Mark Wilson for me just for his experience and gradually ease Matthews in this season.

    Mark Wilson had a good season past, however Brown would not start in my team.

    I think we'll stick with Mark Wilson for now and give Mathews game time in comfortable games.It's a pity because i rate Cha also,is there room for all 3 in the team?

    Mark Wilson easily, he was nothing short of excellent last season. I think the bit about Wylde beating him constantly in the final is bull, Wilson has great pace.

    Lenny thinks very highly of Wilo anyway so I don't see him being dropped anytime soon.

    Wilson without doubt.

    I'd be happy to sell Cha.

    Mathews looks great for a 19 year old, big throw in too - but very attacking...

    Not sure if we can play 2 very attacking FB's with such weak CB's in a 4-4-2 without getting raped.

    I'd try someone different at RB, like Matthews, for the opening few games with Mark Wilson at LB, until Izaguirre is back to full fitness.

    But the season in general, Wilson undoubtedly has to be seen as our main RB, with the young Welsh lad as back-up. I'd sell Cha and either play Juarez in CM, or RM, while Brown is suspended, or sell him too.

    Wilson no doubt he had his best season ever last year.

    I think Cha will stay this season, if Wilson was injured it could possibly be too much for Matthews to step in and be consistent at his age. Also, if Izaguirre was injured Wilson could be switched to left back, with Cha slotting in on the right. Think Lennon views Wilson as our definite number one right-back.

    I do not remember this at all. Wylde did nothing that game as far as I can remember other than hassle Brown a bit.

    Stick Cha in right midfield or striker I'd like to see how SPL teams deal with his pace as he did start off his career as a striker.
