Matthew Le God Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 as colinjb said total football, most of our players are interchanging position throughout the game the two wingers, striker and "in the hole man" all swap alot throughout and the wingers and full backs interchange a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 26 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 26 August, 2008 yea but its one thing a winger playing either side etc but must be pretty unusual for player to start games - only 5 games gone, as fairly deep central midfield, CB and forward -not just swapping during game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely many have done this over such a short period. Shows what quality he has. If we don't get promotion this season I don't see him staying long as he is far too good for the Championship.

Arizona Posted 26 August, 2008 Share Posted 26 August, 2008 Kenwyne Jones joined us as a centre half, made his debut as a right winger (at Brum and was awful) and made a name for himself up front. Also, I'm pretty sure Wright played in every possition except striker and goalkeeper. Not sure about centre half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 26 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 26 August, 2008 yea -Jones was bit like others finding their position over time -can't wait until we have keeper sent off when we have risked no sub keeper to see how good Schniederlin is in goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 I'm pretty sure that I saw Hick Holmes play in every position on the pitch, except goalkeeper, for Saints. But this was, of course, in the days when clubs and much smaller squads and were only allowed one sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Rudi? Im pretty sure he was played "in the hole" behind Rasiak for 1 game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillo Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 I think Jo Tessem managed to played front, middle and back but I am happy to stand corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 I think Jo Tessem managed to played front, middle and back but I am happy to stand corrected I can definitely remember him playing up front, in midfield and at RB, I'm not sure he played at CB or not.

phillo Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Ah.....you are probably right Minsk - I confess I was thinking of the back four as a whole. I stand corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Rudi? Im pretty sure he was played "in the hole" behind Rasiak for 1 game... Yep, I believe it was a midweek game against Wednesday. IIRC he took the ball past 2 defenders, before scoring after 3 minutes, only to have it (rightly) disallowed for handball. Tessem is also correct, what about Euell? I remember him playing in defence against Bury in the cup, although he didn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Not one of our players (though I have been racking my brains :-)) but Steve Watson used to play all over for Newcastle. Principally a right back, he was also utilised in midfield and in emergencies as a striker too. Darren Purse likewise, although he's now settled as a defender. It may just be faded memory but I think Alan Neilson used to play in different positions for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 27 August, 2008 Share Posted 27 August, 2008 Rory Delap Primarily a midfielder, played up front when we beat Liverpool in the relegation season and was used as a RB thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game that Prutton scored in? I dont remeber him being up front 9mind you, my mind if all over the place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
