David Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Now forgive me for being thick but, isn't Fox a left back, playing centre back and Osborn a left mid playing left back with their hero Dawson that's a centre back on the bench?

From what I gather, Fox has been turned into a centre back for a while now (maybe since Karanka took over? Not sure) and he's gone from zero to hero, they love him now. Osborn has become the Chris Baird type utility player who isn't really good enough to be the star man in his position and as for Dawson, I presume he's just not fully fit. Within a couple of weeks I imagine their back-line will have Byram at right back, Dawson partnering Figueiredo in the centre and Robinson on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he's managed it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Dawson started on Saturday. Maybe can't play 3 games in a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only reason I can think of his because he has come across quite funny in club videos or something along those lines. I keep seeing this picture pop in on Twitter @Red_Dawn able to shed any light on why Fox has gone from being hated to being loved at Forest?

Bris Vegas Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Karanka seemingly likes to have energy at fullback. At Boro he had George Friend bombing it up and down. Fox is too old to be doing that. Moving him inside and playing Osborn there makes sense. Osborn doesn’t have great quality on the ball, IMO, but he’s a workhorse and is young. He’ll be up and down that flank alot, with Lolley coming inside. I hate Karanka’s teams and style of play. So boring. But at this level it is effective.

Only four teams kept more clean sheets than Forest in the final 1/4 of last season. The Karanka-effect and the team’s style of play probably aides him. Curtis Davies would be a beast in a Karanka team. Unfortunately, against Reading, he looked slow and predictable when tasked with playing out from the back. A high line wouldn’t suit him either.

Wasn't that what Robinson was signed for though? I've heard good stuff about him so it would be a surprise if he's been signed and is playing backup to someone who's not in their natural position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably signed for versatility more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It’s an old kit from the 70’s. They have changed their badge to the one they used around that time as well, no throstle, just WBA in a kind of diagonal. http://www.footballshirtculture.com/18/19-Kits/west-bromwich-albion-2018-2019-puma-away-kit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Harford Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Think anyone with half a brain knows that Osborn is a decent player, take out the partisan element and it's plain to see. Decent bloke by all accounts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
