Apparently he’s been signed for the U23s squad & not the first team.
Is that correct ? What's happened to that lad from Tamworth ? Wasn't he a winger ?
If he's a right winger that's a strange one, Id assume we need someone on the left. And now I can't work out how to get him, Andreu and Bayliss into the same side.
Ah well, hope he's good, good luck to the lad.
Last season before Jodi Jones got injured, he played on the left and would cut in onto his right foot.If he's a right winger that's a strange one, Id assume we need someone on the left. And now I can't work out how to get him, Andreu and Bayliss into the same side.

I’d assumed he was left sided but hey

We definitely need a natural winger. The only other natural winger I can think of is Jones. Shipley and Bayliss can play wide but it’s not the same thing.
Football is simple really. In an attacking sense, creativity, good service and a striker
who can finish. We are struggling in all those departments. It’s only 3 games though...give it time
Are we actually struggling with creativity? I’d have thought we had ‘too many’ creative players. Isn’t that part of the problem? How do we harness the creative players’ abilities without leaving the midfield wide open...
DerbyI guess he will go out on the right where we have struggled
Where does bayliss then go?
You start by playing people in their natural positions. I don’t think MR has found his best 11 or his best formation yet but he will get there. I can’t stand it when players are played out of position.
Jones played on the right and cut inside onto his left.Last season before Jodi Jones got injured, he played on the left and would cut in onto his right foot.
So you could have Jones on the left and Thomas on the right , with Andreu or Bayliss playing behind the the striker.
Got to be goals in that forward line surely.
Bit like when you used to get played on the pitch rather than the bench.
He used to swap sides during the game sometimes...Jones played on the right and cut inside onto his left.
I think, I'm doubting myself now.
You nailed it mateA friend who is a Derby fan reckons Luke Thomas is coming in on loan from them. Apparently he played in the friendly at nuneaton but i cant remember him. Not sure how much truth is in this so dont hold me to it.

Jones definitely plays on the right and cuts in on his left. He may occasionally switch sides very briefly during games but is very left footed and bases his game from the right hand side.Jones played on the right and cut inside onto his left.

That was probably true in the early part of his time with us but if you look at last season when he had established himself as a regular starter before his injury he and Vincenti regularly switched in every gameJones definitely plays on the right and cuts in on his left.

Derby fans seem positive about him, generally a good sign.

Yes Jodi Jones can play both sides, so a nice option to have. :emoji_ok_hand:He used to swap sides during the game sometimes...

He set up loads of chances on both left and right by getting to the bye line and firing the ball back across goal for our forwards to get on the end of

The biggest factor with very young players in the men's game is inconsistencyOn the whole I think you can get a decent idea of a player from fan's opinions but you also have to consider how many of the fans have actually watched this kid play - he's only got 2 first team appearances. Are a lot of these opinions based on what they've actually seen or anecdotal based on rumours? I know we've got some very highly rated youngsters in our youth set-up but until the U23 game in the week I'd not seem any of them play ever. How many of us would we be able to provide a decent idea of the likes of Hickman, Ford etc to other teams if they went on loan or would we just be regurgitating what we've heard about them?
Many Chelsea fans were raving about Sterling, but he's only got 2 sub appearances totalling 15 minutes as well - both cup games which Chelsea were much the better team . How many of those opinions are actually based on what they've actually witnessed rather than what they've heard? We got excited based on that but so far we've seen nothing to suggest he's anywhere near as good as they're making him out to be. I watched him in the England U19 over the summer and he was very underwhelming and almost anonymous at times.
This is the pre-season game with Notts
Good to see for his first he leaves their left back in no mans land!
Looked very sharp in that video especially up again to Dan Jones who I thought was impressive against us.
But wasn't it a friendly?Thought that was a good example as it was playing against a first team rather than youth.
Seems to be playing very central in those highlight.This is the pre-season game with Notts

Was it Eddie the eagle who he sold?Is he from Deakins in Coventry market who used to sell "stay press" trousers and ski jumpers?
