We only play one system as the manager stubbornly refuses to change it, so Apter will have to adapt probably as a full back. After all we signed CJ as an attacking left winger and have given him a 3 year contract seemingly as our first choice right back.

And he'll still come back as a winger that doesn't fit the system, all be it a better developed winger that doesn't fit into the system. As I said earlier in the thread I wouldn't be surprised if we sell him in the Summer and cash in.

To me Gabriel isn't a wingback either, another player who is better in a 4 with a Bowler type in front of him.

Apter was an easy win for Critchley this year to get the fans onside, home grown player and all that. " We have massive hopes for Rob " was quoted to me last season at Blackburn away, by someone who should know and it looks like that person knows his onions. Let's hope we don't sell him for a...

Always Next Season

Just give it Grimshaw and forget the awards night.

Neither Jordan Gabriel nor CJ are right wing backs, we don't have a right wing back which is strange given Critchley's preferred system.

The weirdest of all is giving CJ who like it or not is a winger and not a back anything, a 3 year contract to play presumably as a right wing back. Like CJ or not surely you must be giving your players their best chance to succeed or binning them.

To be fair to CJ, he's not a right back, left back, wing back or anything back. He's a left winger, who should push the ball ten yards in front of him, leg it after the ball and whip a cross in on his stronger foot. However we don't play with wingers and we give him a 3 year deal.....go figure !

Well if SS reads this forum, Simon why do you think the atmosphere at home games has gone from loud and proud to like a frigging library ? I honestly can't think of a game, other than the two Bolton wins and the Forest Cup game where I came out of the ground and thought " I enjoyed that "...

Again in English please !

Who plays the same system and his philosophy is around keeping it tight at the back. I've seen enough of that nonsense to last me a lifetime thanks.

CA doesn't have a lot to work with quality wise, but seemed to get the best out of them on tonight's performance.

CJ had lost control of the ball, his touch to take it round the keeper was that heavy he would never have caught it. Booking right decision for me and it was right in front of us.

Please tell me it was the kids asking for the fist pump, I had to shut my eyes it was that cringeworthy.
