Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted September 19, 2018 Will be interesting to see where Cantwell plays. You would assume on the wing as a direct replacement for Hernández but when I watched him against Stevenage in that same position I didn''t think he played well at all. He''s more of an attacking midfielder than a winger isn''t he? Good to see him get a chance though - hope he takes it.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,507 Posted September 19, 2018 I wonder if Marco will play wide left with Tom in the middle?Might make more sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,395 Posted September 19, 2018 Cantwell looked a bit raw last time I saw him Hopefully he makes the same progress as Lewis and Aarons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,609 Posted September 19, 2018 He seemed to use Cantwell out wide in pre season- I think Farke likes his wide players to be a bit narrow and let the fullbacks provide more width. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted September 19, 2018 Good point Ron. However, Marco was very good against Boro in the middle and I wouldn''t want us to lose that drive and strength he gave us in the position. An interesting problem! Wherever he plays, I just hope Tom has a good game and we continue the style of play we delivered on Saturday.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although he didn''t create much, he always looked after the ball and looked tidy with it. When he did lose the ball on a couple of occasions, he worked very hard to win it back. Probably will grow in confidence and be more expressive in his play the more he is given the chance to play in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted September 19, 2018 lake district canaryWe''ll have to agree to disagree on that one. He lost the ball a tad more than twice...Still very young and I''m not sure that''s his best position so no massive criticism, I just didn''t think he played well.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,609 Posted September 19, 2018 Pukki is a proper work horse type- real pain in the arse for defenders.Like Buendia and his willingness to turn and carry the ball forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
