Casio Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I prefer Olsson for games we are expected to win and therefore, attack more as he is a little more agile, faster and a more comfortable attacking threat, whereas, Forsyth offers more aerial and defensive abilities IMO which is more beneficial on the road to Newcastle.

Gandalf's shin pads Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but how long does Fozzy have left on his contract? To be fair, even if it's only a year, £500 seems a little light in the current market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzy is way better going forward than Olsson, his low crossing is immense. He was a left winger originally... I'd rather have Olsson against someone like Newcastle, more agile and quick.

I'd rather have Olsson against someone like Newcastle, more agile and quick. Not sure I agree that Forsyth is the better one going forward. For me he's comfortably ahead on defence, but his wastage of good crossing positions is infuriating. (The only decent cross that springs to mind was the one he put in for one of Russell's goals in the 5-0 against Wolves - even then I'm not sure it was intended for him!) In contrast, Olsson's crosses are better than average and should have led to more goals last season if we'd bothered attacking them. If either of the pair could make a big gain in the other's area of strength, surely they'd hold down the position...? Although I agree sometimes it might be a case of horses for courses.

We're blessed that they are both really high level for the championship, both rarely get beat and both handy going forward. Not sure either would be happy on the bench mind.

Thierry Ennui Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Olsson must have been the worst winger ever because he's usually clueless in the final third. I said usually before someone links his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said usually before someone links his goal. Or his assist I think he's better in that regard when he's overlapping (which means he has space). He's got a good cross. Still prefer Forsyth myself.
