Jazz or Lee for right-back?


By Ian Mitchelmore

Callum Paterson looks set to become the club's first choice right-back when he returns from injury, but as things stand, it appears there will be a two-way battle between Lee Peltier and Jazz Richards for the role in the season opener at Burton.


Peltier himself has had injury problems this year having missed the majority of the closing half of the previous campaign with the ankle injury he sustained in the 2-0 win over Preston in January.

But it seems like he'll get the nod while Scot Paterson remains sidelined with the knee injury that has ruled him out of action since December.


However, Richards is more than capable of filling in on either side of the pitch at full-back.

Given that Joe Bennett is the club's main out-and-out left-back, Richards' best chance of forcing his way into the first team reckoning may be on the right hand side of the defence.

And the Wales international will harbour hopes of nailing down a place in the first team after injuries hampered his progress in the earlier stages of the previous campaign.

Peltier is the best defensive full back at the club in my opinion.

Both pretty good at championship level can't really separate them

I prefer Jazz at fullback. Think Peltier is sometimes to hard and gives away to many free kicks and pens

Either/or will do a good job for City this season but my personal preference is for The Jazz Man!

used to be called cloggers.
Jazz is the better footballer. but is that what our manager wants.?

Peltier is a better full back / defender still not sure about Jaz he is going forward

Peltier for me, I have yet to see an opposing winger get the better of him. I think defensively, Jazz is excellent, but I feel he can be a bit too soft at times and he's weak in the air. Peltier has that ruthless, streetwise streak to him where he can clean out a dangerous winger and wipe him out for the entire game. I like that.

I would use jazz at home and pelts away games

Pelts for me. Good solid fullback who won't let you down.
