Bobledgersheart Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The game changed second half when they pushed the big centre forward onto Sutton as he was getting little change out of Hobson in the first. They were having a great man to man battle, which the referee was happy to observe, so their manager moved him wider right to push him onto Sutton. His physicality was a bit much for Sutton and it had the added bonus of restricting him going forward as, although he was having limited success, he was keeping wide on the touchline in the first half and drawing their defence across a little. I think we need a decent attacking right wing back and ball playing midfielder to enable Sutton to battle for his place in the centre of defence, where he'd be more comfortable, and move us comfortably into the play-offs.

Doesn’t even need to be a wing back for me. An attacking right back (a right footed Kitching basically) would provide width and allow us to play with an extra central midfield to help get control of the ball.

Could be right but I was thinking it would allow us to play a back 3 and allow Kitching a bit more attacking free rein as he was struggling to get back quite a bit on Saturday.

Wardie Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hopefully the next incumbent is announced this week because I cannot see any squad additions until the new manager is in place, even then, it will be too late for strengthening before the Alty tie. Meanwhile, ST could probably be asking the players once again why the fuck they stop playing after twenty minutes. It's not like there will be players on the phone every day, flocking to come to BP now that Unsworth has gone. * * Sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half his starting position was a lot higher up the pitch and was playing as a wingback. I really like him and he is both one of our better players and attacking outlets, but from what I’ve seen my opinion is he is better as a fullback.

Oxlade-Chamberlain at Kidderminster? RB/RWB, gets forward, good crosser, long throw, tall and powerful. Bit of a journeyman though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyyou Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Still can't understand why we didn't really push for Tylor Golden and/or Reagan Ogle instead of Freeman; Chris Conn-Clarke instead of Dickenson and Kamil Conteh rather than renew Gardner and Hope. That would surely have left enough in the budget for another CM and a winger. And don't get me started on a left-footed CB/LB as we have absolutely no cover for Kitching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 What needs doing now is the manager situation sorting this week as a matter of urgency. Whoever ends up with the job can then execute their “plan” and bring their style/methods/players in. We are a little in limbo at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMarshall's Mullet Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I see Freeman is training with the team . You can see him in the latest ‘gallery’ of photos on the Latics website so I wonder what the problem is with him and not seemingly in the mix for starting at RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very odd My guess would be he wasn't fit when he joined, he had to take a break for paternity leave which put him back to square one fitness wise and Will Sutton has done a good job in his absence. Hopefully he's close to match fitness and can provide Sutton with a bit of competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminem says on that video Penryn shared that he loves a winger but also that he won't play wingers unless he's got some good uns available. maybe get em together early doors or late on if needed.

When I look back to his debut at RB against Dorking he's come on massively playing in that position. Initially offered very little going forward and has developed into providing some threat down that flank. Still only 20. Think this spell at RB will help his development when he almost certainly reverts to CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminem, like what you did there. I'm a Tollitt fan but not sure he fits into a 442. He was our best player before Christmas last year (low bar admittedly). Wonder if MM might pull a rabbit out of the bag and recall Kofi Moore from loan if the senior players are out injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this. Even back in League One wingers were too inconsistent. You're much better off with the solidity of wide midfielders or more central midfielders... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
