Wingers on the wrong wing

[KingOfSiamIAm]

I have been banging on about playing wingers on their natural wing to get to the by-line and put in a decent cross without stopping the momentum of the move.

Well full credit to Ollie Tanner, who has obviously been practicing crosses with his right foot, because he now carries a proper threat to a defender by having the ability to go outside and put in a cross with his wrong foot, or can cut inside for a short pass in and around the penalty area, an in-swinging cross, or shot at goal.

The problem was today that even if a good ball was delivered there was no one in there to get on the end of it.

Exactly. We didn’t even play with a striker first half

Come on Riza give Reindorf a chance after the international break. We are desperate for a striker you know!

True, but O'Dowda, Colwill - and Tanner especially - seemed to think just getting a cross in was job done..

I still think Bagan should come in at left back and push O’Dowda further forward. We had 4 wingers on the pitch yesterday,and as Hot Shot Hamish and JR Hartley have said, no proper forward to cross it to. If Riza doesn’t think Meite or Kanga can do a job, and to be honest who does, especially Kanga, give Reindorf a chance, he can’t do any worse.

Re: Wingers on the wrong wing

Inverted wingers are far more dangerous in the modern game, but they should still be capable of getting a cross in with their weaker foot and they shouldn't sign a player who can't do that.

Reindorf doesn’t strike me as that centre forward type but I haven’t seen much of him
