Philip Buckingham ‏@PJBuckingham 17m Graham, Boyd, Rosenior and Dudgeon on for Aluko, Quinn, Elmo and Figueroa at HT. Sagbo now wide right of attacking three. Interesting. Hope Dudgeon can make as much of an impression as he did last season.
Really rate Dudgeon and hope he extends his deal when this last year runs out, but can't see him being ahead of arguably our best player Figueroa.
Does he? What about ten games last season!! I think theres a very good chance if we got an offer he would be sold. Fig and Brady cover that position. Bruce is selling the back ups to increase competition. But i hope he stays.
Not saying you're wrong but I expect Figueroa will either be on the left of a back three or just LB in a back 4.
Well ye. He's first choice at LCB or LB and behind Brady at LWB. But with shooting like he has Brucey may consider him there and push Brady up top again.
Dudgeon was on fire last season before he got injured. Can still picture him screaming forward against Brighton when Koren played the inch perfect ball to him for his pull back to Simpson. He'll provide very good competition for Fig and Brady IMO. If we play a 4 at the back we would likely go with Fig at LB and Brady LW, Dudgeon would be able to fill both of these positions is needed.
FT 1-0. Sounds like we dominated play from start to finish and played some great stuff. Good omens for the season.
Sounds like we're playing we'll, if we can keep up the classy passing play we saw last season along with the ability to hold onto the ball and players getting back quick enough to stop the fast wingers etc with the likes of Chelsea we should just about stay up. We need to sort out set pieces though
