RiddingsRam Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Stick with me , I don't want us to convert another centre forward into a winger but ....... We've spent £8million on this guy , who clearly has bags of talent but looks as though he may struggle to play the centre forward role our system is dependent on playing . So how do you think he would play in a wide forward role ? Obviously got pace . Good finisher . Good work rate. Has all the attributes to me .

toddy Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 For me Vydra needs another forward along side him, Bent and Vydra? I dare say Mac is trying various options in training as Vydra is a gifted striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 To be honest, I thought with Bent up top yesterday then Anya and Vydra on either side would have been an interesting selection. As it was, neither Anya or Vydra started which I still cannot fathom but hey, we got the win. I'd certainly try Vydra there and see what happens. From what I've seen of him when he does come deeper into wide areas to retrieve the ball, once he gets it he seems to want to drive towards goal and will take defenders on. I don't think he'll be cutting to the byline and whipping crosses in as naturally he will gravitate towards the centre but maybe it's a goer. Yeah, why not.

Sexydadbod Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I still think he has the ability to play in the 4-3-3 formation but we can't expect him to be a Martin type of player. We need to use him in the same way Brentford do with Scott Hogan. Vydra makes so many clever runs but his teammates are too slow to play it to him.

angieram Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 McClaren commented in the post-match interviews that Vydra is the future but he brought Bent in to play a particular role yesterday, which he did well. Bent knew what was expected having worked with McClaren before. I thought he did it really well, sorry I doubted McClaren when I heard he'd been selected! I think it will take Vydra a little longer than one week to understand the new system and a little bit of time on the sideline taking a breather while watching and learning will be good for him, imo. @McLovin, it's not just about making clever runs, it's about being in the right places for the way the team is playing. It will come - he's a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgford Ram Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I guess Bamford did ok in a wide role in 4-3-3. Do people see Vydra being able to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Nah keep him in the middle, hes making the right runs its just up to the players around him to spot them. Had a great chance near the end yesterday to make it 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 He could undoubtably play on the right in a 433 but I don't think it would be the best use for his talents. For me the key is having the right man with him .. I actually think he could have played in yesterday's system but with Hughes in Butterfields role. Hughes releases the ball much more quickly and that would combine our system with his strengths and darting runs. I'd start the next game with Hanson again in the DM role with Johnson and Hughes (if fit) higher up. And Vydra leading the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams player interview: "Matej has got great qualities, Matej is the future of this club but (after the last three games)we felt we needed something different, Benty provided that." McClaren crams so much into a three minute interview it's difficult to catch all the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 He'd probably do ok out wide to utilise his quick movement, but I still think he's better upfront- his runs will be more effective there, and let's not forget that's he's a top quality finisher when he's confident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Mac would work it but a clever player like Crouch who knows I can't see it personally but over the years in football there have been some unconventional signings of wise and crafty heads that have been final pieces of jigsaws.
