RamLad1884 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We saw Cocu trial Bogle playing in front of Wisdom today towards the end of the game. Can't say they had long enough to really see how well it worked today. Generally we all seem to agree we need a new winger, could Bogle be the solution?

Needs to work on his end product but has the skill, speed and confidence to play that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think this is more of a response to Prestons play. They kept switching sides by hitting the ball long to both wings and their left side was more dangerous with their delivery. It seems we were trying to make sure we were double-y defensive against their left side as their right side weren't very good on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. His final ball is still in need of improvement and we haven’t got another overlapping RB P.s two wingers ideally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 No, basically. Don’t think Cocu was trialling it as anything long term, was just a defensive change to hold on to the lead. That was the one criticism I had today actually, felt a bit Nigel Clough subbing the striker off for a defender when 1-0 up - and it served to put us under even more pressure late on as we sat deeper and deeper. With our defence, playing to hold onto 1-0 leads is not the best plan imo. But back to the point at hand - Bogle is a right back, or a right wing back in a 3 at the back system. That’s it. He shouldn’t be playing anywhere else, such as on the wing, unless it really is an injury crisis. We should be signing a natural winger in January who can improve the team, simple as for me.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We are not exactly blessed in that position so it may be an option. it also means that his replacement need to step in and perform and that may be equally as tricky. When Boggle got injured earlier on in the season we struggled to replace him at FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically, I agree 100% . ... but there's a teeny weeny part of me that does just wonder whether yesterday was the first day of the future. Let's face it, it did work, and we did hold on to that 1-0 lead. #timewilltell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, we did a decent job yesterday as Preston didn’t really trouble us much in open play. Hopefully we’ll establish a defence soon that can get an away clean sheet as well!

When this sort of approach happens, I'm normally the first to slouch back in my seat and utter "Well, we all know how this is going to end"! I didn't feel as "threatened" or nervous yesterday... but I have absolutely no idea if that was due to what I was watching on the pitch, or simply that the past 44 years have finally ground me down! ?
