I am hoping Morgan makes a big leap. league One is an opportunity for him as he should be able to walk that now if he is going to fulfil his potential. I also hope we go at teams as I think we have the personnel to do so and that could yet be strengthened further.
Really do not wanting Doughty being wasted at LB in L1!
Wouldn't be wasted if he was overlapping an equally threatening player in front of him. Imagine a Holmes or Lookman type of player cutting in to shoot or pass, with Doughty offering pace and width on the outside.

Whos that then? we dont really have any pacey wingers. Personally i feel he should be pushed to out and out winger and leave the defending to someone behind purrington/whoever, he will cause alot more problems if he doesn't have to track back. Its all about whether we have the personnel to accomodate that, which is debatable.
I agree he will be half wasted as a wing back eg. 3-5-2, still useful but i see him causing alot more problems as a front 3 or with 2 proper wingers.

I actually have another theory on the lad, he should be moulded into a forward. If he can master finishing, I think he ticks all the boxes, and a lot of good forwards with pace start off as wingers so it wouldn’t be unusual.

Yeah i can see that, not the worst theory. It could work, or in a forward 3 aka Sterling mould. He should get more goals/assists and done well last season but still learning the game, definitely has the most potential of our current lot so would be interesting to see if Boywer and co get to build a team around him.

Obviously it wouldn’t happen without signing that type of player.

I think our midfield is more than capable this season.
Don't worry, he'll be wasted on the bench for Brentford instead
