McGinn playing "wide" right and Rogers left would give us a good chance to play bith through the middle, as we can collapse the shape out of possession, particularly if the pin the back four or one sode of the back four as pair and stop the full backs.

I'm struggling to see how moving Watkins away from the one position where he's adequate to playing a role that relies on touch, technique and vision is going to do us many favours. If he plays, it ought to be as an Abraham replacement or not at all.

Didnt deano play ollie out wide a few times? I think he did ok back then.  But this version  of ollie i think  you might be right and he will struggle

If he did, we weren't third in the PL at the time. The two things are probably connected.

Correct we were a newly promoted side

That’s a no then. He didn’t play for us when we were newly promoted.

Erm  2 seasons isnt a newly promoted  side 😂😂😂

So thats a yes then and your wrong.

Being in premier league for 2 seasons  is not a long time percy. Thats the reason  fir the wording  if you want to be pedantic. 

And lets put that to the side for a moment are you saying ollie never played out wide for deano?

No, 2nd season in is not a newly promoted side.

It's not a matter of opinion.

People keep mentioning this Jesus Christ bloke; seriously, his entourage would just be a distraction.

I think he played wide left for Deano at Brentford. But I don’t think you meant that.

There are three newly-promoted teams each season. This season they are Leeds, Sunderland and Burnley. No-one (except you) is including Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton in that group.

I was suprised he didnt start and he should have come on earlier. He's had the ball in the net three times in the short time he's been back. Hopefully he starts next week.

That's where I am at the moment too. For whatever reason Watkins' form at the moment is terrible. Maybe he just needs a rest and some time out of the spotlight. I can see him leaving in the summer anyway.
