I am fairly certain that Storey played all his games for Exeter as a left side centre back even though he is right footed.

So far in pre season all three of them- Hunts; Storey and Bauer have been tried at LCB when Ben wasnt playing and none of the looked comfortable.

The only player we have who can play LCB is Hughes - and that leaves us short of a left back IN FORM because sadly Josh is way off what he was 18 months ago..
 
I seem to recall that Clarke and Huntington played a few games together but can’t recall which one played left side? 😊

I agree with your assessment though, I remember the game at molineux a couple of season’s ago Josh was excellent that day, I just wish for his sake and ours he could get that sort of form back, but I’m sure he will but it takes time.

Hunts usually plays left side out of the 2 of them
 
Sorry paddy and sr, I was being a bit facetious, I know that Hunts played left, but I was making a point that IMHO, it is easier at centre back to play two right or two left as partners than for full backs to be played on the “wrong side”

I did put a smiley face in there! 👍

Defensively wise yes, but the problems occur when you need them to move the ball out quickly which is what Neil wants. This is made a lot easier by 1 right and 1 left footer.

We've had plenty of all right foot combinations down the years though. And 1 left that I can remember..... Kidd and Murdock.
 
for most of his time with us Bailey Wright played as left CB but was right footed and preferred the right. He developed using his left foot and that balance because none of our other CB's fancied playing there...incl Hunts & Clarke....

Storey and Hunts have been together at least twice in CB this preseason and have taken it in turns to play LCB.....so I dont think there is a preference if Ben was ill / injured.....
