What it does mean is if our opponents are nearly all in our half we have a new weapon. Do we play out from the back where they try to pin us back or do we bypass most of their players directly from the GK. Should give us more space in taking the ball forward.Hopefully he is as good as it seems. I noticed Wilson threw the ball quickly alot Vs monoco so hopefully that's a lampard directive. This new guy can clearly throw!
Means no need for dovin to rush back too
However we do need to get rid of Wilson or Collins now ideally. Maybe bend both and bell is the back up till dovins ready
We'll still bring every single player back at every corner.What it does mean is if our opponents are nearly all in our half we have a new weapon.

Ive already seen somebody who spent weeks complaining we needed a new keeper now moaning we would have too many!Great signing if it comes off, just wait for the meltdown when he makes a mistake ( and he will) “ waste of money “
We still have nearly 3 weeks for things to happen. The one thing I would love to see is Rudoni still with us when the transfer window closes. He is the 1 player we wouldn't be able to replace.
What about MVE or KKH depending on the side of the corner. Just using their pace on the break and then leaving the central striker up top as wellSo leaving 2 up front when defending set pieces would be a good option, Emc and Saka possibly
I'm excited by this it it happens. Nice one Doug
I can never get excited by a goalkeeper - he's hardly gonna be having fans up off their seats is he?
Na you put your centre forward at the front of the 6 yard box when defending corners.You leave EMC and Wright up for me. Maybe have Rudoni or grimes on the edge of the box to facilitate the break
Clough you to say its the most important position in the team.I can never get excited by a goalkeeper - he's hardly gonna be having fans up off their seats is he?
Sakamoto stays up front for meYou leave EMC and Wright up for me. Maybe have Rudoni or grimes on the edge of the box to facilitate the break
Contrary to belief on here, hes quick at turning, but he isnt the fastest running with the ballSakamoto stays up front for me
He's too small and lightweight to be of any use in our box, but has the pace and touch to cause problems on a quick break.
Wins more headers than Simms tbfSakamoto stays up front for me

If we were losing with minutes to go he could come up and take a long throw, but then again it would probably go out for a throw-in on the other side.I can never get excited by a goalkeeper - he's hardly gonna be having fans up off their seats is he?
Exciting to Boring I’d say:
Wingers/AMs
Strikers
CMs
Goalkeepers
Centre backs
Fullbacks
DMs
You say that, but look at the reaction to the Grimes signing at the time.Exciting to Boring I’d say:

Have you seen his long and accurate throws? Would you get out your seat for a 1v1 against the GK?I can never get excited by a goalkeeper - he's hardly gonna be having fans up off their seats is he?
cluelessJust for me. YMMV. I’d hoped Grimes was more of an 8 than he is personally, it was his ability to pass from deep that excited me not him sat holding hands with Bobby Thomas playing keep ball.
I don't think Rudoni will be going anywhere just yet. And if get promoted this season i can see him staying for at least another season.Rudoni won’t be going anywhere.
However, if we don’t go up this year I’d expect him to be gone next summer.
Another brilliant player unfairly written off on here after a few games.

His covering is second to none though. Part of the reason we/dasilva improved down left and we became more solid. With sheaf so brittle im more than happy grimes does what he does. If CBs were better on the ball then maybe he wouldnt need to pick it up off them so regularly but he also dictates tempo from deep. Sure we’ll see more from him this year as well
Great signing
I keep saying this,just creates confusion having to many back defending a corner.Leave a couple of players up at set pieces, our area is too crowded anyway. The opposition will have to leave 3 defenders back
Best of both worlds with Grimes to me. Always looking for the ball and very rarely loses it. But then you get it where he plays a 30 yard pass perfectly to unlock a defence.Sure. Just not an exciting one.
This was your reaction when we signed himSure. Just not an exciting one.
Tbf he did say "outstanding" rather than "exciting"This was your reaction when we signed him
