Purrington and Johnson as their fullbacks, in an alternative universe that could have been our flanks3

It's not a myth so much as it's absolute garbage. He's played three career games there, all out of pure desperation in a season where we had constant injuries and no depth. He did very well against Fulham in a match where he didn't have to worry about much else other than tracking his man. He did fine against a Derby side we murdered, lasted 36 minutes against Bristol City before getting injured and then hasn't played there again since October 2019. He's never played left back. JFC is slow for a midfielder, the idea that he'd be an effective left back in an attacking line up is hilarious.Scoham said:
That’s a bit of a myth that has grown after one game at LWB a few years ago. He’s not proven he can perform there consistently, he’s also not the type of player we want in that role. I also doubt he’d be happy with becoming a regular left back.Lazy_eye_metaphor said:Pity is that JFC can also play left back, and we don't have too many like that. However I trust Garner's judgement.

Is JFC slow? I mean he is no CBT, he isn't quick but he has never struck me as slow or lacking mobility. I would say he is no slower than any other of out 1446878 midfielders we have had in the last 2 seasons. Maybe with the exception of Gilbey?Garrymanilow said:

Agreed . If Albie Morgan is the answer then we are asking the wrong question.Chunes said:Albie is playing some very nice passes. But he has had so many false dawns.8 -
Yes but everyone knows we should judge the quality of a player by one pre season friendly game on here!!, on that bases Albie gets a yes from me!!………actually scratch that bollox does he!!🤣Bedsaddick said:

I don't know if modern football knows if the 2 & 3 are important but in the 60's we did.soapboxsam said:Scoham said:

The biggest complaint against Ben Purrington was his lack of pace so it took him time to get and down the left flank.
JFC would be even slower so that is a non starter.
We have Steven Sessegnon who is apparently two Footed 🤞 but haven't played any minutes yet ?
Is it understood in modern football how important the 2 and 3 is ? Days have gone since the lard arse was last pick and put as full back in the after lunch game at school.
They are important outlets, attacking and defending as we found out early doors last season when we were moribund with no attacking threats as we had players out of position and the 3 up front were all in isolation. DJ, Stockley and Washington who had to go jink inside on his right about three time before easily being blocked by his defender.
Alf Ramsey's wingless team had fullbacks that got forward to great effect so wingbacks is not a new invention.0 -
Stockley and Aneke aren’t Linford Christie . I wouldn’t be losing JFC- we have no other midfielders that can pass through the lines and he can play wing backsinceiwasyoung said:Far too slow for Garner's style of football .
Like the guy, but not too bothered if he moves on .0 -
I’ve always wanted Morgan to do well, but I can’t see the consistency. I also think we read too much into friendlies. The fact that someone has a good or a bad pre-season counts for nothing when the season starts.In fact, having seen the starts under Peeters in 14/15 and Bowyer in 19/20, and got quite carried away at the possibility of what might happen, I would say this team really can’t be judged until 15 games in maybe if they are doing well.
We will however, know if it will be another bad season if we have the start like last year. That would be a disaster.As much as I don’t want another season in this league, even with additions (the type I think we’ll end up), I think will land about 9th this season2 -

And some thought he wasn’t good enough!sam3110 said:But surely to play in a team that's tactics will probably revolve around a lot of possession in the final third and moving the ball around to try and create openings, the lone striker needs to be good with his feet. But pointless if half the time you can't rely on passing to one of the guys because his touch and passing will let him down. Aneke is a lot better on the ball than Stockers but can't be relied on to play every week. I genuinely believe for Garner-ball to be a success we need a better striker and a winger that's going to score goals (remember when we had JBG on the right?)
We are never happy!!1 -

Agree the 3 wingers on the 66 squad were discarded but you are the first person I have ever heard that called Cohen and Wilson wing backs !

What is deal with Ross County? Feel like we have an abnormal amount of links with them, Ben Purrington, Regan Charles-Cook, Ashley Maynard-Brewer and now this cyber stalker. Weird...SheedyCAFC said:Probably a parrot, but that ex Pompey right-back Callum Johnson that we were allegedly in for has signed for Ross County

Will Grigg worth a risk on a one year deal?2

Hoping that Garner possession style would be a positive for the bigger clubs to loan us some good youngsters. Imagine money will be number 1 factor, but you would that wanting to play attacking football would be a positive for these sides.Rudders22 said:Anyway, back to transfer rumours, am looking forward to seeing who the 4 loans will be,2 -
