With stats like those, we surely won't sign a right back this summer?

Yet they've tried to replace him twice now in back to back seasons? They clearly haven't got a clue what they're up to ...

The boy can't defend... says so the Oatcake. He can't particularly well and often loses out in physical battles BUT he does have an uncanny and very useful ability to pinch the ball off people. He'd definitely be a better midfielder than a full back but I'm not sure he will be good enough to dislodge any of the players we have already. Handy bloke to have around the place though, hence the new deal. Cameron isn't Gary Neville, but considering he's been shoe horned into the role of right back, he's performed admirably. I think it says something that Phil Bardlsey, a natural right back, was all but second to Geoff by the end of the season. Geoff performed consistently better than Phil, in the games that he played, hence he was number 1... or 2 so to speak, by the end. I'm glad that Johnson has arrived though, because it gives Geoff a genuine chance to try and crack that midfield role. Do I think he will? No, I do not. He doesn't possess the passing ability. His technique and what not seems okay, but it's the other sides of his game that let him down. Still, the utter bullshit about him being unable to defend is a myth that's been peddled for way too long by certain people on here.

I wouldn't say he can't defend at all - that would be silly - however (as with all our fullbacks) he is a ballwatcher. Not convinced his awareness of danger is as sharp as it should be for someone of his experience. or are you talking about Geoff rather than Johnson? To be honest the above works for both of them!

Lol. That actually made me smile.
