Hirstyslaces Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 He's a player to get bums off seats! Quick, skilful & exciting. He says himself that "There's more to come". Hope so......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I don't get all this 'its all well and good but he's got to do his defensive duties' carp. Why restrict him? He does his damage at the other end of the pitch, that's what he should be able to concentrate on. If we played with a back 4, with proper full backs, he shouldn't have to do the defending. It showed last night that when we get a number of attacking players up the pitch, e.g. Gregory, Kamberi, Corbeanu, Paterson, we can score goals. Let's take off the shackles and outscore the opposites. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Think this guy is a breath of fresh air he needs a run of games abs even if it doesn’t euro everytine he’s positive and plays in the right areas constantly looking to drive at teams which we massively lack think he was excellent last night and I love how he speaks on an other note and don’t shoot the messenger her the rumours around us last night ire kick off was that Wednesday got told by wolves that he’s got to start playing more otherwise they are recalling him don’t want to take anything away from the lad he should be playing in my opinion anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nile Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I went with my mackam mate last night, just told him how much of an exciting prospect he was then, boom!! needs to be playing every week now, especially at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 He may be better playing deeper rather than up front on the wing. He always wants to beat a man but in most of his appearances before ( except one) he's had no room to build up speed so he has basically been stood still trying to send the defender the wrong way. It didn't work. Playing deeper he can run with the ball and easily send the defender the wrong way or he can run onto the ball at speed. I doubt he would have found as much space as he did for his goal if he was up front all game. He's a real prospect but we need to play him in a way that let's him make the most of his abilities.

I'd take one pl;ayer strolling around, burying it in the bottom corner...then deciding to "Stroll" around again to set up a second..... Depends on how good you are at "Strolling"...If you were a full back, would you leave him to "Stroll"?...If not...he's done his job on the full back....while strolling around Edited November 3, 2021 by asteener1867 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's surely wont have to "Track back" in that sort of form..There will be a couple of oppo players on him..So job done...no need to waste energy...He could be really dangerous....Suppose we will have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 To be honest for his own personal development if he can nail the defensive elements needed to be a wingback it’s got to be good for his career. So many teams play with them nowadays and it’s one of the most important roles in modern football. If he can cut it there he’ll have a terrific career with loads of options.
