I know its the new Swindon style employing attacking wingback/wingers but I would prefer a fullback who can fill in as wingback rather than a wingback who can fill in at fullback, ala Rob Hunt (for instance, no I am not advocating re signing him before I am jumped upon).
We need wingbacks who can defend not just attack.

Concur we definitely need people who can play as a tradition full back. |

Same as, I prefer 4 at the back who can defend first and foremost.

I agree, but many don't. Take Rob Hunt as an example, he was heavily criticised for not being attacking enough |

Rob Hunt was versatile and solid

Rob Hunt was part of the defence that got relegated and failed to get what many people say a team that was very good promoted. He was great in his first season and OK after i thought

Glad it's not just me then. Thought he was very uninspiring. Where's he going to pitch up then? |

Hunt was indeed average.
But there's every chance we end up with worse than average.
So sometimes it's better the average you know.

Solid in defence but pretty useless going forward. Does not fit in with our current tactical set up. We move on.

Rob Hunt was part of the defence that got relegated and failed to get what many people say a team that was very good promoted. He was great in his first season and OK after i thought defence cost us autos. attack cost us playoffs, even ignoring the penalties. (also worth pointing out Linsey was defensive coach last year  ) But I'll maintain I've seen many worse right backs than Hunt in division 4. He was a better defender than egbo and iandolo too. Will also agree he would've been pointless in a back 5 unless he's one of the 3 CB. I'm not upset we let him go. |

What's the latest on iandolo recovering from injury or not being played because he's off🤔 |
