Sorry but not having a dig at you but as long as I have hole in my botty I’m not having Sakamoto is a winger or a wing back one bit. He doesn’t have the attributes to play wing back… can’t defend and hasn’t the pace. He’s a player that sits in the hole or plays as a second forward sitting deep.
He's said himself that he's a winger who is mainly good at attacking
I assume it’s healed over then …. He can clearly play as a winger. Are you new to the sport ?

He is a winger , he can't defend but he is the epitome of a winger
He’s not a winger at all.

Sakamoto hasn’t got pace?
He’s the most obvious winger I’ve ever seen, plays all his best stuff with his back to the touchline
Obviously your new to the game?
Really? You really believe he has real pace?

We’ve seen before with Robins when we have a troubled start he tends to shut up shop and take a few 0-0’s to set foundations, I fully expect this to be the case over the coming matches after the last couple. Expect a cagey 0-0 or perhaps pinch it 1-0 but a boring, ugly match.

And in Japan just so we know there’s no conspiracy theory happening here…
Oggy just made a good point on cwr about Latibeaudiere playing wing back and Thomas in the right of a back three.

He's certainly got the acceleration to go past a man.

And not to beat a dead horse, but if you look at van Ewijks positions on transfermarkt for this season it has him playing RM for us, because that’s what it counts a wingback as.
Most teams are moving away from 5 at the back and all the top teams are using the WM formation so don’t see why we can’t also (the box was introduced soon after Conte’s Chelsea won the league at a cantar with it)
I would like to see:
GK: Collins
RB: Lati
CB: Thomas
CB: Binks
LB: Da Silva
CDM: Kelly
CM: Ayari
CM: Allen
RW: Saka
ST: Godden
LW: Wright
Da Silva to invert making it a back 3 in possession.
Allows Kelly to sit and pass simply and allow the other two CM’s & Da Silva to force the issue.
Saka to stay wide and whip crosses in & Wright to use the space the run at FBs.
Can change to a deep 4-4-2 defensive shape (Ayari to move to the left & Wright to move inside ready to use his pace on the counter)
What we will get:
GK: Wilson
RWB: Lati
CB: Thomas
CB: Fadz
CB: Binks
LWB: Da Silva
CM: Eccles
CM: Kelly
CAM: Palmer
ST: Godden
ST: Wright

If you can stomach it, watch the Tuesday game again 2nd half. We give it away from a corner, get countered and he makes up about 40 yards to cut it out.

2-1 to City, we really could do with a win now

Is the bottom part of that image an instruction to Wright?
And then was slow to react to the second goal.
Thank goodness some sense.

Because he isn't a defender. You might as well play Callum O'Hare at wing back then get annoyed when the same happens
I’m confused are we agreeing or disagreeing here?

Well your point was about whether he has pace or not so I gave a case of where he showed lots of it.I’m confused are we agreeing or disagreeing here?

If being responsible for conceding against Cardiff means you're not a defender then we need to replace 1 or 2 more Monday

I would say that not being a defender means you're not a defender!

So who's the RB? We've got more people who at a push can play RWB than RB.

I'd think a full back is a more defence minded role anyway so you could still play Lati there.

Not sure you can blame Sakamoto too much for the 2nd against Cardiff. If your wing back is back in the box competing for a cross something’s gone wrong with the system.

He's meant to be marking their left sided attacker and anyway even if you argue that he still has no idea where the man who becomes his man is and he completely misses what is a simple and basic run off the ball.
The RWB needs to be able to defend the area beyond and at the far post when the ball is crossed from the opposite side. It was a basic personal error that showed a lack of defensive ability.
Agreed. Wing backs are a combination of defensive and attack. If you can’t defend then your no wing back!

Honestly feel Robins has to ditch the wing back setup its not working
Footballs evolving away from it also
For me with the players we've got i think we need a kindof 4 2 3 1
