Undoubtedly his best game on Saturday.
My son believes that he should be playing in the centre of midfield rather than wide.
In the Canton end of the Ninian stand we had the benefit in the second half of seeing his silky skills playing down the right. Sometimes he’s on the left.
Where should he play?
He plays well wherever he plays, but I too feel he should be in a midfield three. But it seems to be working at the moment with him win the right....better than having Hoilett there.
At the moment, where he is. With Reid off Paterson, we've now got plenty of numbers in the midfield, and they're all hard workers. If you play Camarasa in the middle, you detract from him or Reid, which we can't afford to do.Quote:

He has been such a good signing it seems incredible to me that he can't secure a place in the Real Betis squad. If they think so lowly of him we should put in a cheeky bid in January.
I have to disagree with the comments about Bobby Reid. He is far too lightweight for me and gets brushed off the ball too easily meaning his main outball is to pass the ball backwards.
This was the solution I proposed back in August, which Neil later implemented, but I didn't see Patterson as the centre forward! :biggrin:Quote:

He played really well and took his goal superbly. Camarasa could become bogged down in the middle, he's got a bit more freedom out wide. He's hardly playing as a winger also. We've hit a system that works, I don't think we should be too eager to change it.Quote:

We have a good balance with Murphy on the left, Camarasa on the right, and Reid playing behind the striker. That leaves Arter and Gunnar in central midfield to battle for possession and get the ball into the channels.Quote:

Agree with this.Quote:

I agree. I don't buy into all this "easily brushed off the ball" talk. I think, as any new addition to a team, he wanted to be a bit cautious at first. Hopefully, now that he has got off the mark, he'll take a bit more on himself. A good player, who works very hard.Quote:

Agreed. Didn’t we only sign Hoilett to a one year deal? That’s looking like shrewd work. Sadly it looks like we’ve seen his best daysQuote:

The pitch.
No - 3 year deal.Quote:

I don't know about the rest of you, but I felt confident every time Camarasa was on the ball.
As for his position? Anywhere other than Keeper. I think he ran on every blade of grass on Saturday.
Ideally you would like him in the middle but imo the balance isn’t there for him to play there he’s still having a major impact on the right as he almost has a free role and can come inside if he chooses to my only concern with him out on the right is manga playing RB although he’s done nothing wrong I would prefer someone with more pace to cover that extra bit of ground if victor does wonder inside
