Lord Willard Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Unpopular opinion but I think he'll be playing LW and Bailey RW. 3 in the middle. I don't care if they played on opposite wings. The modern game is inverted wingers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if they played on opposite wings. The modern game is inverted wingers. Buendia can use both feet anyway, not sure it matters which side he plays on. Assume he is more comfortable on one than the other but having watched a lot of his highlights it is difficult for me to tell which one. The future game is wingers that are forwards and that all have a largely free role. We have the players to play this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the little training clips (not the London ones) they released when they were first back, he was playing/scoring from the left hand side. I know it's just a short snippet but it was something I noticed. The good thing is that we have multiple players who can play in a variety of positions so whilst we are guessing where everybody is going to be playing, so will the opposition.

I don't care if they played on opposite wings. The modern game is inverted wingers. I agree. If we can buy a brilliant no.10 to play in between Buendia and Bailey then I think we’ll be a major threat to every team in the division. I actually think Chukwuemeka could have a breakout season as well but it’s important we don’t expect too much from the youngsters. They need to be brought in slowly and given minutes here and there and in cup games. A couple more quality signings and I’ll be firmly in the ‘Jack who?’ camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just soent the last 20 mins watching a couple of videos and any worries i had about the new season have disappeared. An absolutely terrific footballer and one who has consistency to his game. He wont be great in 1 game and shite in 5 . It will be the other way round. Will be the new heartbeat of this team .

After missing the last two games of pre-season I'd be highly surprised if he played at the weekend. Even if he's back to fitness, at most I could see Smith leaving him on bench. Think it's more likely we have to deal with Traore and El Ghazi starting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSw Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Traore himself only has one pre-season game under his belt. I'd be surprised if he started. Think JPB might get the nod personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young on the right I think, or JPB. Edit: What @PeterSw said ^^ Edited August 10, 2021 by Awol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 After a full week of training, I’d fully expect him to start on Saturday. Might only play for 60-70mins but would be surprised if he didn’t start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think they'd be capable of beating Watford at this stage of our progression. It would be nice to see some of our second string proving we have legitimate squad depth these days, and I've seen enough to believe they are capable. 8 minutes ago, StefanAVFC said: He's all over the official Twitter, he's starting I'd be surprised, honestly.
