Siggijonsson Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Every time Wallace starts as a winger we play badly. Yes he has moments of skill and gets the odd goal but we've spent a fortune on strikers and Wallace rarely gets past his man, let alone puts in crosses that the likes of Rhodes, Winnall etc could get on the end of. Surely Macmanaman and/or Buckley need to get a run out down the wing. Actually Wallace would do better in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) He plays very narrow, but maybe Carlos has told him to do that? Doesn't he also has the most assists in the team? He did last year! Edited February 22, 2017 by jonnyowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 He is an out and out winger, but clearly being told to play narrow. The opposite of Bannan. Anyone got an idea how to solve this puzzle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Macmanaman and/or Buckley need to get a run out down the wing. Actually Wallace would do better in central midfield. Thought the same about Wallace since last season. He doesn't take people on and contributes very little the odd stunning strike aside. In the summer, I thought he would have been away, but when he got an extension I thought that he would be useful as a squad player. Him and Bannan are two of the main reasons we haven't pushed on this year. Both decent enough players, but in actual fact the type of player that we needed to upgrade to become a better team. In fact, I think we did upgrade them with Mcmanaman and Abdi, but for some bizarre reason Carlos has stuck with the old guard, giving us a midfield that invites teams on to them and never takes control of the match. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_ Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 He's been one of our most consistent players this season. Under rated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wallace is a winger but Carlos is setting the team shape up so that the "wide" midfield players play narrow. It's why Mcmanaman can't get a game because he really is a winger and doesn't fit our system. At least in the 2nd half Carlos changed it, Wallace went out wide and got a lot more involved and put a lot of crosses in from the right, and we also finally got to see Mcmanaman involved when we changed to a system that could accommodate him. As said in the wingers thread, I think we should start games at home with wide attacking players to give more options when we win the ball and start stretching teams. Whether it's Wallace, Reach, Mamanaman, or Forestieri matters little, they are all good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People blinded by a 3 goals in his last half a dozen appearances. He as been very poor for the most of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torres Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes now and again he scores a cracker from 25 yards, yet his all round play for the second season in a row doesn't merit the number of starts he gets. He could be a valuable squad member but not a definite first team starter for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wallace is an honorary member of the Carlos favourites club along with Bannan and Lee. Thou wont be dropped regardless of form is the motto of this select club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mcmanaman by some miracle does start he best have a blinder otherwise it's back to safety first football And the same with Abdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
