Lovely stuff. The amount of stick I got in here for suggesting a lad who had played most of his life as a winger could play further forward than wing back
Didn't Allen used to play left/right hand side of an attacking 3 though? Anyway, i win this discussion.Other than the fact Giles is playing in a completely different role to Allen (the same as he played last week out wide left where he has played a lot of his career)
Now if he was playing cam in the same role as Allen then you would have a point but he isn't
But I will agree on the disappointment of Allen this season, I thought he would kick on but unfortunately hasn't
He is playing as a winger, which nobody said he couldn’t. We said he couldn’t play as an ACM, which he isn’t.Lovely stuff. The amount of stick I got in here for suggesting a lad who had played most of his life as a winger could play further forward than wing back

What is wrong with you lot, are you being intentionally dim?
I used to hate this forum, but as soon as i decided not to take the attacks personally - i quite enjoy it. Lots of entertainment to be had hahaHe's playing as an inside forward, assuming he starts on the right.
People went utterly mental at the suggestion of him playing anywhere but wing back.
He is now playing somewhere other than wing back.
No, people went mental at the idea of playing an obvious wide player through the middle.He's playing as an inside forward, assuming he starts on the right.

He probably drifted out wide once and that forever meant he was playing as a winger.Nope as part of a two centrally behind a one... If he played left wing I'd question the sanity of the manager

I never said Allen was a winger, Giles wont be used as one tonight either. I'm guessing Giles Shipley Ohare in behind Walker, woth the 3 being very fluidHe probably drifted out wide once and that forever meant he was playing as a winger.
Wing back and winger are very similar positions mate. Sorry to break it to you but they are both, as is inside forward, very different to attacking central midfielder (which if you’ll see us what everyone was arguing against).In the same way that Giles played a few games at LWB and forever meant he's a wing back?

Bump the thread when he plays there mate.

He came on for two minutes and played on the right. I’ll keep waiting for him to start a game as an ACMBumped as requested.
A lot of people owe me (and a few others) an apology. I'll wait.
Of course he did mate. You bump this thread every few games when you’re wrong again.He did not play on the right ffs, he played CAM, where you said he couldn't possibly play. But you probably couldn't tell with all that egg on your face.

He might have been brought on in the CAM position and it could be a strange coincidence he spent the whole two minutes he was on the pitch hugging the right touch line. 2 minutes probably not a big enough sample size to judge. In my opinion he was sent on to attack their left full back and not play CAM.
I just watched this back.
When he comes on he take up a position just in advance of Da Costa, was he playing CB? No, he was playing RWB.

He then proceeds to spend the rest of the game on the right

To say he was playing ACM is an absolute falsehood.
So you think we lined up last night in midfield with two DMs an AM and a RW??
Ostigard played as a virtual right winger in the dying minutes against Norwich perhaps he will be the next Tommy Hutchison - then again maybe not
Also known as the right sided CB of a back three. You’ll notice Hyam pushing forward on the left too.
So far we’ve had Robins say Giles’ best position is a number 10 role and Giles come on for a player playing number 10 and playing in the same way.
But Giles is never a number 10 because SBT says so.
If we did play Dabo at DM next match no doubt we’d have all the tactical experts telling us how RWBs often spend their time in the middle of the pitch just in front of the CBs
Spot on.I just watched this back.

No, do you?Do you think Callum O'Hare was playing right wing?
No, do you?
When Giles came on he was clearly under different instruction to O'Hare. Managers are allowed to change shape/instructions mid-match.
No, I don't.
But O'Hare spent most of his time on the right flank so I assumed that you thought that meant he was playing right wing. Because apparently you're not allowed to drift out wide when playing AMC.
It’s called keeping the widthRobins must ask his right wingers not to drift inside at all because Giles certainly never left that right flank.
