    Chapman will take a while to recover from his hamstring operation according to MH in the T and A and will not be available - unfortunately.

    so currently, we are without any fit wingers. This isn't looking good

    I wouldn't have Chicksen in there either. No lack of effort and unfortunately took a long time to recover from a horrendous injury. He became that seasons scapegoat. We might be able to judge for ourselves before too long. He had a good season at Notts County last year and has just signed a new 2 year deal with them.
    He also scored 9 goals last season!

    Agree that was a horrendous start to his season, very similar to Osadebe start to last season, you have to be strong and put the incedent behind you, easy to say as a fan.

    Oduor, Walker, Young, Gilliead, Pointion and Smith can all play on the wing.

    that being said next signing will be an RW.

    3 months and that doesn’t include getting game fit!

    I haven't seen Odour or Smith play but maybe we are going a different way this season in terms of playing wingers?

    I 'can' play on the wing but that's not really the point! :rolleyes:
    Your 2nd sentence is the key and after last years balls up in the wide areas the club have to improve our RW/LW prowess

    From the vids I've seen of Oduor I would say he looks more of a winger than anything else!

    We were over loaded with wingers last season and hardly used them. If we are going to sign one please make it someone who can cross a ball

    maybe! i personally do think we will see less game time from our wingers as I think plan A this season is a 3-5-2 or even a 4-3-1-2 (some on here refer to our 4-4-2 Diamond but no wingers makes it a midfield 3 or even a 4-1-2-1-2)

    I’m going by what MH said in the video interview. However you never saw him running , being tested and only looking like Mr Happy bouncing the big blue gym ball .

    At the end of the day Vince is just using the club to push his eco agendas and it was never going to naturally evolve when they have policies like only serving vegan food to fans and vegetarian pre match meals to players.

    I know it might not sound a big thing but there is a wealth of choice amongst football clubs so anyone restricting that choice would have to be very successful to attract fans and players that aren't necessarily aligned to the core values of whatever Dale Vince decides they should be next.

    If it was that would be a massive boost. I'm not hopeful but fingers crossed
