Football is very position specific. I laughed last week when people wanted to give Foulds a run at right back because he'd deputised for part of a game even when he's predominantly left footed. I'm not sure what position would suit FCD, he doesn't look a natural right back.

 

Songo'o as an actual footballer it's shocking at times. He gives us a bit of solidity but on the ball he seriously needs to up the pass completion rate and with Watt having similar issues it's no wonder we're constantly turning the ball over after just a couple of touches.

 

You're a student Broncs, answer me this. How many times last season and this have you noticed FCD fall over / slip, call it whatever? I've counted at least 8 and all in the same circumstances, ball and man coming towards him, eye on man not ball, ball travels FCD has to re-focus on ball, needs to move feet and slips. It seems a common flaw which out of those 8 I've counted has cost at least 3, possibly 4 goals.

 

Tbf we stopped them playing and did the negative side of the game well. It didn’t help them losing the big lad who is on loan to them upfront who has done well

 

He's not a right back. Should only play there as a last resort.

 

Starting to agree Botswana - Adams is proving to be a very reactive manager, much more bothered about what the opposition might do than what we intend to do to dominate a game. Mind you, I'd suggest he spends an entire week with the lads on shooting practice. It's ok continually saying that we're 'creating' so many chances in every game. It's the bloody scoring we're all bothered about.

 

Yes but that has been Adams game over the years not much possession but more goal scoring chances but so far this season we have failed to put the many chances away. Yesterday we had no fit forwards other than Robinson so we didn’t have as many but probably still more than Northampton

 

I thought Foulds missed out as he picked up a knock in the non existent Exeter game.

 

You reckon? I think it’s a no brainer to offer him a deal personally. 2 seasons of being toughened up in non-league at spennymoor and then Blythe has clearly done him no harm

 

We've got worse in the current squad.

 

I don't dispute that, I just don't think for a minute he will be offered a new deal.

 

I think you need to offer a contract on the same terms for a development fee to come into play,
If we release him , we get nothing i believe. Does age not come into play as well.
I actually thought he had something that could be developed and seems to be doing well at that level.

 

Out of Place ?

 

Having seen a bit of both over the past two years in the national league he is streets ahead of Staunton currently

 

Out of position.

 

if he wants it. Maybe he has got the taste for actually playing football week in week out now

 

I think I read that he's a CB, if he developed in possession I think he's going to be a very solid player in either a full back or centre back roll.

 

I agree he's done well. It wasn't a dig at the lad, I was genuinely curious as to his usual position as I'd never seen him play before and he doesn't strike me as the modern day full back type.
