It could work if the LB bombs forward and is effectively our winger. But for me Fletcher is so much better central, round pegs in square holes...again He will play more central, you could see against Luton our wide forwards are cutting in quite a bit, the width will be supplied by Coulson/Bola. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's the plan is to have the LB provide width for him as an inside forward, whether it works or not who knows! Edited August 8, 2019 by Foogle 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Fletcher won’t be ‘on the wing’ though, woodgate isn’t setting up with traditional wide players, just forwards who come inside to support the striker. Our fullbacks will be the wingers. Link to post Share on other sites

It's hardly enough time to write him off either, as Pulis didn't give him or any other wide player beyond Adama a chance. It's a new set up and Woodgate seems happy to give him a chance, why shouldn't we? Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that would mean forwards bombing on. Link to post Share on other sites

Marvanelli 451 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 This window has already been better than any window under Pulis. We've signed a couple of FB's and a winger.....we've been crying out for a winger since Adomah left us 3 years ago. And we've needed a pair of FB's for nearly 2 years. And we've got rid of some of the dead wood and high earners. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's the plan is to have the LB provide width for the inside forwards, whether it works or not who knows! Hopefully he finds some form there, as I do like the lad. On paper it could work. On a side note involving Fletcher. Does anyone think he lacks so much confidence? It’s always like he plays to 80% of his full game, I’ve thought this since he came here. He’s not one that’s gonna grab a game by the scruff of the neck. Really just wish in one game he just goes for it, flies into some challenges and show some aggression(?). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Very true, round pegs will easily fit into square holes, there is no problem there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
caseybwoy 130 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Personally I cant wait for the next 45 games. I had more joy and excitement in 90 minutes on friday than I had for 18 months under pulis. We have young players playing a new system, for a new manager. We will get better. Well settle into our style more, youth will gain experience every week. We've held on to our prize assets and got rid of some dead wood! We may not go up this year but I guarantee well be in a fantastic position next summer to recruit and push for promotion. Have faith UTB. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
