Too short. Otherwise he wouldn't have been lobbed. (Runs and ducks for cover). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) 18 hours ago, picicata said: Nope. Ollie is not a right winger, he is a forward. He is worse on the right wing than all of Traore, Trez, El Ghazi and Beundia. Playing him out of position diminishes both his confidence and worth. By all means hope we sign another striker but accept that we either play two up front or one of Ollie or, in this case, Tammy is on the bench You can't say he's worse on the right wing than Traore, no proof whatsoever, in fact when he was playing on the right under Brentford that was in the championship he was ace. I just do not know where people can assume he is bad in a certain place when he's come here and has played as our Lone striker, we haven't even tested him as a winger yet. For all we know he maybe as good a winger as he is a striker. No one on this forum can even state such things like he's a worse winger than one of our winger without even trying him there.

Why would you then move our (previous record signing) striker, who's just had an excellent breakthrough season up top, out of position. Makes no sense at all and 100% won't happen or even be contemplated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TRO Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think Ollie is still acclimatising to the Division and 14 goals in his first season is more than commendable....His whole game is impressive, but he is still learning. He needs to stay in his position and master his craft, not be pushed here there and everywhere to accomodate other players. We have invested in this lad and we need to stay with it, because I think he will deliver, what we are looking for. There is no perfect player, but working together as a team and the camaraderie, will drive us on. His movement and pressing is most warming and with Jack and Emi, much more opportunity will open up. Ollie is the no 9 for me....He has moved on from the wing role. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say he's worse on the right than Traore because he is Traore has been inconsistent but, at times, brilliant out on the right. Ollie was a good, but not outstanding winger, whilst playing in the championship. Traore played a number of games upfront in the French league, and was pretty good at it according to his stats, but I don't feel like I need to see him play upfront for us to state that Ollie is a better forward than Traore Ollie is a forward, it's what he was signed as and is by far his strongest position. He can do a job on the wing in the same way Elmo used to do a job at centre back. That doesn't stop us buying another forward, but we shouldn't try to shoe horn players in. If we sign a better forward than Ollie then Ollie moves to the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
