Interesting watching that how comfortable he is on his right foot.

I know I commented on that from the first few training pics on the OS. I love it when a full back is good with their supposed weaker foot because it makes it that bit harder for a winger to cut inside.

The cross he put in on about 55 seconds in is what I want to see from fullbacks.  I don't care that none of our strikers got to it, keep putting them across just like that and it'll create goals, it's the football equivalent of the corridor of uncertainty.

If you watch him when he dribbles he actually leads with the right. Quite unusual. But means he can keep the defender guessing and move quickly either side

I expect he'll find the pace and directness a challenge to begin with. I hope the crowd tolerates a few mistakes. Because he looks really exciting to me

He looks very balanced through the core when on his toes and should be difficult to wrong-foot which is a very nice defensive trait.

love the back heel tackle.  Looks very skillful.  Very excited to see him play.

So where does this leave Richardson ?
Personally I'd like to see him in a LM role as I think he could link well with Amarvi
As for Cissoko I'm guessing he's back up

Richardson wasn't bought to play left-back so I'd guess that Sherwood would look to use him further forward if and when needed, and fill in at left-back if and when needed.

I'd say Richardson and Cissoko will be making the odd cameo here and there.

Richardson was one of our better performers towards the end of last season , he may be of use as a LM wide player

They'll punt Cissokho the first decent bid they'll get. I also don't think he'll want to be a back up and there will be a market for him. He's not a bad player just not what Sherwood is looking for in that position.

Theres a few others that will be leaving before the transfer window ends...I'd imagine Cissokho, Baker, Senders, Cole, N'Zogbia and either Bennett or Richardson will be on their way out. TS knows we can't afford to carry passengers and I have a feeling that has been made very clear to him as part of any agreement for this spending spree.

I honestly think Cissokho is awful. Was briefly positive when he first arrived, but it didn't take long to realise he was so poor.

Yep. The question will be who he keeps...the unproven younger Bennett with potential or the older experienced Richardson who is prone to being next to useless on a bad day. On the other hand...may be he'll give both of them another season.

He was one of the main reasons we weren't scoring. Abysmal player, get rid.
