Title: Wingers/balance/crossing
Post by: PaulClementsLaments on January 21, 2019, 05:07:18 PM
Just throwing an opinion out there... while Max has done ok on the left wing since Hemmings left, and with JJ on the other side we have good balance, the best crosser of the ball into the box on recent evidence is Connor Hampson. I like JJ but actual crossing the ball into the box for Jordan or whoever to attack isn't his best attribute. Both he and Max are more likely to cut inside. I'd like to see Connor push forward more often and throw some decent high hanging crosses into the box, put their 'keeper under pressure. I'm a bit old school like that :D

That's a big part of Dens game too

One big reason why we were much improved 2nd half on Saturday was that Hampson (and to a lesser degree White) got forward more. Definitely lends weight to the argument to play 3cbs and 2 wbs.

Would like to see a back 3 of Jones Harrison and Hannigan with the full backs bombing on, both of them are fit enough to do that.
Can't wait to see a fit James Poole return, I don't think we have seen the best of him yet.

We are much better when we get our full backs forward. White will get forward but prefers to cut inside so he can shoot with his left.

Hampson is a threat when he overlaps and so is Densmore.

Chorley game in the second half our full backs didn't get forward and sat back which invited them to run onto us. We've done it against Stockport.

I would like to see both full backs bombing on in every game, even against higher teams. That's when we open up teams apart.

Love JJ but his final ball is often poor,his dead ball crossing is bloody awful, especially corners.
