shandypants Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Iorfa has good pace and great anticipation but he isn’t a fullback. He’s the sort of player I’d describe as having raw talent. He did really well when he came on but I can’t see him deposing Palmer (who was fvvcking excellent yet again by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Only listened on Radio so couldn't comment, but what makes you say he cant take Palmer's place, not as good, or isn't a right back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremeOwl Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think he can play both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He wouldn’t get in ahead of Palmer at the moment, but maybe instead of Lees, or eventually Hector, if we’re priced out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree for two reasons. Nothing got past him. When he came on he deposed Palmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good but it’s all raw physicality and pace and some anticipation - the kind amid attributes to snuff out trouble but not really to go forward. He looks a great centre-half playing fullback if you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He can play both. I think though we will see him play mostly at right back, Palmer possibly moved further forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 125 career games mostly at fullback, but you're claiming after seeing him for half an hour at full back and saying he did really well against a very dangerous winger that he's "definitely a centre half"?

He looks a great centre-half playing fullback if you get my drift. He came on primarily to make sure we snuffed out James' pace. He did that job and one of the few times he took the chance to attack he got in behind their full-back and got a decent ball in. Having Palmer play wide midfield in front of him didn't exactly give him much opportunity for link up play and getting forward, the subs didn't help at all in an attacking sense.

swfc-dan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Totally bombed past Naughton I think and created a chance for us, that pace will be great vs oppo wingers too. Plus strong and solid in the tackle, definately can play either position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Think he can play both. Looks like he’s one of those that’s definatley got a mistake in him so maybe it will be better to use his pace and power at full back. Good option to have in a smaller squad next season.

Guest Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It is more likely that in the summer Bruce might want to move towards having a squad that can play 3-5-2 effectively and Iorfa will get his chance at CB then but is certainly capable of playing either position for the remainder of this season.
