The most damning thing of all is that it was glaringly obvious that both full back positions were a problem over the summer. Young and Coleman are both well past it, Patterson is a sicknote and Dyche doesn't rate him, Myko is the only senior left back. I get that they wanted to strengthen going forward, but did we need Ndiaye AND Lindstrom? And I just for the life of me understand the Godfrey sale. Even if he spat his dummy out and demanded a move, I'd have only allowed it to happen if we could found a like for like replacement, ie someone quick and tenacious enough to play across the back four. I'd have rather have cancelled Keane and Holgate's contracts and kept him

Agree with your Godfrey comment. We could certainly do with him right now! Good article btw.
Yes we did need another winger on top of ndiaye. We wanted another on top of those 2 and now you’re saying we only needed 1? Given we had one of the best defences and worst attacks, obviously strengthening the attack was more important
Also lindstrom was a loan so I dont get why you’d have an issue with him.
We sold Godfrey because hes not very good, we have no money, he had 1 year on his contract and we had to sell for psr
The Godfrey sale was fine. He had a year left on his deal, Dyche didn’t rate him and we needed the income for PSR.
The big issue was not getting more full back cover after selling him. This was obvious to everyone all summer.
