Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
It sounds as if Forest have hardened their stance and will insist on ending Adomah's loan after tomorrow's match.

He wants to stay. Harris wants him to stay. He has done a fair job for us and has been a guaranteed starter. But he was brought in mainly because of the 'season ending' injury to NML - and we will probably have all of NML, Hoilett, Murphy and Whyte available - and a few other wing options too.
So will this (if it happens) be a major set-back or a minor annoyance?

A lot depends on the extent of Josh Murphy's injury I would have thought. If he's back soon, you'd think the increased chance of a Play Off place would lead to an improvement in consistency from him - if we got that, then I don't think Adomah would be missed much.

Do think it's a bit odd, Forest are definitely in the playoffs and as far as I know he can't play for Forest. However, Murphy is fit so we have 4 wingers. It's annoying because he's done a good job but at the same time, he hasn't exactly set the world on fire. He's steady and I'd prefer him to stay but it isn't a complete disaster.

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
He offers more than Whyte going forward (who I had completely forgotten about and just had to check whether he was on the bench against Preston) and for that reason, I'd like him to stay.

EFL should really have sorted this type of situation out

Agreed. Look at the situation with Ryan Fraser at Bournemouth - now sitting out the rest of the season and refuses to sign contract extension in case he gets injured. Though doesn't say much for him as a person..

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
What Albert brings is intelligence, ability to off load simple pass and defend , something Josh struggles with , yes he's quick but his tracking back is woeful, perhaps Brad Smith or Junior switches to that side of the pitch definitely a blow I'd say .

Brad Smith is a left back. I'm not sure of his credentials as a right-winger... But I guess that's more your field of expertise.

Not sure on your expertise, but I have seen wingers play on the opposite sides of the pitch , they sort of cut in side onto their strong foot , some are equally good on either foot ( clever that) , I've seen full backs do the same .
Versatility I think its called

Yeah and they don't like us coz we don't let 'em forget it! :wave:
I do think it is a pity because whether he has set the world on fire or not, he has deserved his place in the side and the side will be disrupted, even though we should have enough cover as mentioned above.

Murphy's Law dictates that you didn't realise that he was a left back due to coming on to play in front of Bennett to defend our lead on Saturday. Makes sense, really.
If you're still suggesting that he could play as right-winger, you're off your head. I can't think of another example apart from Bale who has moved from left-back to right-wing... And that was after years of developing as a forward and he was world class.
"Versatility I think its called"... Just stick Flint out there then. I've seen centre backs on the pitch before so they can play on the wing.
Can't believe I took the time to type that when I should have just called you an idiot. It would have served the same purpose.

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
Big loss. Hopefully NML will be 100% fit to play 90mins.

Or Smith could play left wing in front of Bennett, and right footed Hoilett switch to the right hand side.

Thank you. A much more realistic suggestion. Welcome to the thread.

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
Weve got loads of options. Not ideal but feck the scabs.

Left footed Smith playing on the right is as realistic as right footed Hoilett playing on the left.

Winger playing on the opposite wing.
Hardly the same as a left back playing right wing

Nobody on this board has the knowledge of Smith as a player to ascertain if they can play on the wing. We know he's been deployed as a defensive option wide left to shut down Leeds attacking down the right late on in a game.
Life on mars put out an idea. He's perfectly entitled to do so.

:thumbup: so many full back and wingers have interchanged in these positions far too many to list , Smith skills are listed as a wing the fact they aly in a wide position defending or as a winger has allowed it , not ideal but an option if we do in lose Albert, whcih would be great shame , seems a decent lad ,his experience will be missed
-
Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
I'll be honest, don't necessarily agree - don't know enough about Smith to know if he could do it. If he's more of a wing back than pure left back, there's a chance, sure. Not going to shoot you down for coming out with an idea though.
Adomah was brought in to cover for NML being lost for the "season". Now he's back, think we've more than enough cover and if he could do it, Smith would probably be far down the pecking order imo.

Especially when wingers tend to be interchangeable in the modern game. Hoilett and NML would usually swap wings a couple of times during games
Glad it's not just me who can see it. Thought I was losing the plot for a moment.

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
As I understand it if/when Albert goes back to Forest he can't play for them again this season - meaning that he's denied the chance to play any more football, all for the sake of Forest weakening a rival in the final run in.
No wonder he is pissed off!

It's incredibly petty of Forest. I blame EFL and FA - the situation could easily have been averted by mandating existing loans last until the end of the extended season, UNLESS the player wanted to return.

He's not allowed to play, he's confirmed it himself. He's got every right to be annoyed.

Bournemouth have completed the signing of the Liverpool defender Brad Smith on a four-year contract. The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Wednesday after leaving Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the United States and flying into Heathrow on Monday, after Bournemouth had a bid in the region of £4.5 million accepted over the weekend.

Smith, who can operate at full-back and on the wing, becomes the second player to swap Liverpool for the south coast inside two weeks following the club’s signing of Jordon Ibe on a four-year contract.

Re: Albert Adomah - back to Forest?
A 10/10 Murphy is better than an aging Adomah and maybe without fans on his back he might actually do well
He’s so hit and miss though you just never know

I forget sides and stronger feet, but remember NML in the opening few games of the promotion season? Then I think we changed it and he didn't seem as effective, I know they change in game but he was really strong down one side, proven with goals early on and it seemed to change. I might be making that up and rewriting my own history..

No, you're absolutely right and I've mentioned it myself on here previously. NML cutting in from the left was where he scored all of his goals. His only goal (that I can remember) last season was from the left too. His best performance of the season where he tormented Trent Alexander-Arnold - yep... left wing.
I made a comment to my mate on Saturday that I was shocked because he'd scored against Preston from a right-wing position.

Potentially as a wing-back but he categoraically is not a "winger" and he never has been. If, in your extensive research, you can find a single game where he's played as an attacking player of any sort, please post it here to show me up. If not, I'd give up now and save yourself further embarrassment.

Finished with his right inside the keeper, much preferred him on the left curling the ball across the keeper.

A 10/10 Murphy is a Premier League player, its just we've seen that Murphy about 3 times in 60 or so games since his first few games where he looked like a revelation.

Agree. It's like a mob mentality, Bryson and others have had the same, Manga was another one, some old ginger bloke used to scream his head off every game in the family stand which used to baffle me as well...
