Nah Wright down the middle, neither Simms nor BTA seem to have convinced Lampard.
So because that’s what Peterborough fans said, it must be try and always will be. I’m sure if you asked Barnet fans the same question, they’d say he was a fine RW.
It’s true that he played his best football playing LW for Peterborough. Different club, different manager and different tactical role for the player.
Bearing in mind Haji and Simms were starting to hit form in the new year period of 2023, do you seriously think we were willing to sign a winger for £5m to sit them on the bench behind Haji Wright? There was always going to be a plan to get Haji, Simms and EMC in the same team.
Unless we play 4-4-2, Haji or EMC will end up playing RW.
Didn't Milans run at pace lead to the corner that led to the 3ptsCan't figure him out
One thing that has frustrated me all season however is last year we had the best right hand side in the league with Milan and Tats
The overlaps, the threading of passes between each other, the incisive movement, leaving players on there arse 2 or 3 times a game, they were almost telepathic
Now? Well I think we've all seen, both have been nowhere near last years levels, ponderous, slow, sideways and backwards etc
Can only assume it's on instruction
He looked lost last night. He was supposed to be alongside Simms but spent most of the night being outpaced chasing back after he had lost the ball. I am pretty sure he only started as Frank had a plan to go 433 by bringing EMC on at some point and already had a RW on the pitch with a formation tweek

Exactly. The team selection.looked 532 with him up front but Simms was on his ownAy? He wasn't playing up front?
If he’d left after last season then he would have been such a legendary signing. He was brilliant, and still is on occasion, but he was definitely playing miles better than he actually is. I’ll always love watching him.Shame in a way that he got injured last season as I had floated the idea between friends that he could have been someone to flip quickly. Not sure he’ll get back to the outputs of last season.
Sakamoto is so important for us.
Totally different type of wide player to what we have.
Haji, EMC are physical speedy box crashers.
To balance that, you need something different on the other side. He’s two footed and technical. Come into his own when teams employ a low block against us.
I think you’ll see him and Rudi play out on the right in a 4-2-3-1
Rudi and Torp rotate in the 10.
EMC and Haji on the left.
Simms, Haji and BTA through the middle
There will always be injuries and suspensions, so Paterson would help too.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think we wanted to sign Matondo in the transfer window just gone? Lampard wants 2 speedy box crashers as you put them. In fact, it’s a job that Sakamoto has been asked to do.
My view is that a lot of people’s perceptions of Sakamoto haven’t really moved past his purple patch over Dec-Feb last season.
He’s a good player, just not starting calibre player when you have stand outs in Wright, EMC, Rudoni and Simms.
We clearly weren't playing 5 3 2.Exactly. The team selection.looked 532 with him up front but Simms was on his own

That's what I just saidIt was clearly 541?
I think he’s ahead of all of them for RW. Maybe Rudoni but I don’t think he’d be half as effective there, he likes getting to the byline and crossing with his left, he’s nowhere near as effective when he finds himself wide right.

We were not playing 5 at the back when Tats and Milan were at their best.Can't figure him out

If you look at Rudoni’s assists. If you exclude the set pieces, the remainder are when he’s on the right-hand side cutting back on his left to pass/cross

So when you take away corners and compare open play goal contributios, he has assisted and scored the exact same number as Sakamoto in 2648 minutes or championship football as Sakamoto has in 1505 minutes?To be fair he’s only made three non corner assists (I’m not counting the one against Plymouth where he challenged for the ball in the middle and it fell to Eccles) and they are from the right. Only one cutting back in on the corner of the area, one through pass from the right side of the D, and one cross with his right from the byline.
Genuinely surprised he hasn’t had one crossing from the left.
Was to do with BTA moving on, which was getting likely at one point. So would have been a wide option to allow Haji to play up-top

The statistics have Rudoni as outperforming Sakamoto too. Repeating the narrative that Sakamoto is our best RW doesn’t make it true unfortunately.

I think O'hare also had something to do with the improved form of Sakamoto and Milan last season. When he drifted over towards the right they created triangles with lots of movement.Can't figure him out
