Paul.. Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well Iorfa is suspended for the first three matches so Palmer will surely get a slot in somewhere for those, hopefully not at CB though if we didn't get cover in ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casbahowl Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 If everyone’s available it’s unlikely that Palmer starts. However, because of suspensions & injuries and Palmer’s recent decent form in both fullback positions he may get 20+ Starts and several more appearances from the bench! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Palmer will play on left or viw for spot with Penney. Iorfa is not a centre half on what seen so far. He looked good going forward. At centre half you need to remain switched on all game and do not think he has shown this from defensive standpoint. Plenty of promise to go forward. Those might be the issues with Iorfa at centre back, I’ve never seen him play there. However, I have seen him play right back, and he has similar shortcomings when he plays there. He gets forward well, and can be a threat in the opponents box, but he ain’t good enough defensively to be a starter at right back. In a different system, a wing back, then probably, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Too many ways to juggle it tbh.. Fletch/Rhodes Nando - Turnbull - Hutch - Bannan - Odubajo Penney - Lees - Iorfa - Palmer Westwood Fletch/Rhodes Nando - Turnbull - Hutch - Bannan - Odubajo Palmer - Borner - Lees - Iorfa Westwood Fletch/Rhodes Nando - Turnbull - Hutch - Bannan - Reach Palmer - Lees - Iorfa - Odubajo Westwood Does feel like Odubajo would play in midfield tho, not that that's a bad thing.

At centre half you need to remain switched on all game and do not think he has shown this from defensive standpoint. Plenty of promise to go forward. Exactly. If the more attack minded wide player is positioned further forward, as a no. 11, there is danger that too much of a gap develops between the two. That's all the space a good opposition winger needs to exploit. What you're looking for is the overlap, the overload on the oppos full back. Think back to Kingy and Irish. Worthington always played more further forward, but King would overlap. Worthington also had the smarts to cover the lb spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Moses could turn out to be one of Bruce's smartest signings? Seems a clever signing and a good fit like Iorfa. Should strengthen our squad and his versatility will come in handy too. Don't know anything about Borner but hopefully he turns out to be a gem or a useful squad player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was he King / Worthington relationship on left which helped me understand how a team was set up. In addition to your points (which I fully agree with) Ron Atkinson said you always play least balanced player furthest forward hence totally left sided Worthigton got to play in front of King. king was right footed but could use left. he explained how this worked in an interview. I have seen numerous examples where rule has been proved. I remember Briscoe starting a game on left wing and it was clear him and left back(can not remember who played left back that day) should be changed round and at half time it happened.

His bad injury not so long ago is a massive concern for me though. We always seem to have poo luck with injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sounds like he could be a gem on a free. Young pacy so gives us something different and his versatility will be extremely handy. Some worried about his injury but he played 35 games for Brentford last year. Only thing puzzling is the Bees declined to renew his contract, is that because he told them he wanted to move onto a bigger club or because they still had fitness concerns long term? I trust Bruce wouldn't sign anyone he has fitness concerns about though, so I'm excited about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
