mark1948 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) If, and if you're a Wednesdayite there is always an if, Joao and Rhodes go as seems likely, and Hector returns, there will be some interesting selection issues for whoever is, or becomes the Manager/Head Coach. Do we play a three or a four at the back? Who drops out when Iorfa returns? Where does Borner fit in? Does Van Aken get a place in midfield? Does Lee keep a place or does Borner move forward? Does FF play on the left or up front or just be an impact sub? What of Palmer if Borner moves to left wingback? Who plays Right Back once Iorfa is back? The permutations it seem are endless. I for one can't wait to see how it all works out. Roll on Saturday. Edited August 6, 2019 by mark1948 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1948 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Both Borner and Van Aken have played midfield before and both have ball control and passing in their skillsets whilst both are at their weakest in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, why would he, he's a defender Does FF play on the left or up front or just be an impact sub? nobody knows where to play him, he'll be banned for 6 games anyway What of Palmer if Borner moves to left wingback? why would that happen?

trev Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I don't think we will sign Hector. I think we will be after a striker on loan. Maybe another CM and LB too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The question is.... as much as Hector is a fan favourite, do we really need him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If we sign Hector we have vital competition and cover at centre half. Don't think we need to read more into it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we do. I've seen Borner pre-season and he didn't look comfortable with high crosses and the like. He was at fault for most of our conceded goals. OK pre-season is pre-season and not necessarily an indication of how things work out in the league, but its that element of Borner's game that I worry about. He is clearly accomplished in other skills. Having said that he neshed a couple of tackes ala Reach. Edited August 6, 2019 by mark1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa might want to play centre half, but I suspect there a more than a few games where he might be deployed at right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as we had no centre back cover on the bench we are signing hector because we only have Lees and Borner as viable options, the manager clearly doe not rate Thorniley or JVA or they would be involved with the team, instead Fox was used as cover for defence, when Iorfa is not suspended probably Palmer will drop to the bench too. We desperately need cover in centre midfield and right midfield where we currently have no natural player at the whole club we have to either play Reach or Harris there.

bigash_swfc Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 So, an early prediction by me. If we try 3 CB's, Hutchinson shouldn't make the team. We'd be too defensive, Hector can step up into CDM with possession, drop back into a back 3 without possession. Which means, Hutchinson should never be considered for CM, due to his tendency to drop back into defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
