YorkshireRam Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Why are people preferring Ward over Wilson at RB? Neither are defensively amazing but Wilson has looked more solid there to my eyes (and gives away less penalties). Playing Wilson at fullback gives him the space to use his greatest strength- progressive dribbling, whilst Ward as a winger would still be able to utilise his crossing. Given that Wilson sometimes lacks end product, this way round seems more sensible to me? Crewton, angieram, timmo and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Wildsmith Smith Nelson Cashin Elder Robinson Adams Sibley Wilson Blackett-Taylor Collins Smith at RB as I'd say he'd be more solid defensively than either Ward or Wilson. Robinson to debut at DM to screen the back 4 (he'd be the best at doing this out of everyone available IMO... also allows Ebou to use his energy further up the pitch). Wilson at RW as he seems to be able to take people on at will. Give Collins 45mins (or up to 60 if he's fit enough) then sub for Waghorn or Washington.

Carlisle sold out as well which is excellent more than a month before the game. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8Leeds Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Play Wilson at right back and use Ward as an attacking option off the bench as we have so few of them atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I thought Fapetu showed promise. I’d rather have him than have Waghorn lolloping around like a fat angry bee 🐝 We need a bit more dynamism. Weston is good but might struggle physically. It’s a gamble, but then so is playing older strikers who are not fully fit.

No right answer, just curious. If we're moving to a back 4 then I'd probably prioritise stability which I think we'd have more of in Wilson at fullback. In regards to attack, this is the game that CBT has to step up. Our marquee signing of Jan now has a gilt-edged chance to show what he's about. Just hope he takes it.

Wasn't there a game where Sibley played on the right in front of Wilson? Worked quite well. Then CBT on the left, Waggy/Collo in the middle?

Of course we then need someone to get on the end of the quality balls arriving in the box. Probably wasted on the likes of Waggy..... jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
