I would convert him to right wing
Thoughts? |  | | |  |

Pay him enough and it will probably happen naturally? |  |

I have seen enough to know, he's fast enough, clearly beats players and can cross and score goals | | | |

I’m pretty sure you could have put that on the thread below
Oh well |  |

Agree, have been thinking the same. Isn´t that how MM utilised him? |  |

Someone mentioned putting Dozzell on the wing a while back, this is equally as bad a shout. No chance Bishop will ever play out there. Too good through the middle, when consistently performing.
And no, McCarthy used him behind Murphy typically with Sears and Anderson either side during our / his most successful season. |  |

I agree that playing Bishop wide does waste some of his talents because he would be more dangerous running with the ball through the middle but he has got everything that our current wide player, Edwards, has not got.
Bish has got good ball control, can run with the ball still under control and can pass or cross dangerously.
Certainly Dozzell wide would not work but I think Bishop wide would, the only downside is we would lose his running with the ball through the middle. |  | | |

Has Bishop got the pace to keep that up, honestly?
And the fitness levels?
He's got to be better off in the centre surely. | |

He is/would be better in the middle but I think that he would certainly be better wide than Edwards is.
You could be right about him not having the pace but he has the ability to make space by skill rather than just hard running. | | | |

But Edwards has been playing again on the right whereas he has been more effective on the left anyway.
It wouldn't need to be an either/or to try it out.
But I do think it may put unneeded stress on Bishop's fitness.
Hey, I wish I was his age so would give anything to be able to do a tenth of what he can.
I like Bishop lots and would hate to see his chopped down whist running up and down the wing. | |

I think we should play him further up the pitch and give him a free role behind the striker. |  | | |

Edwards would not get in any side picked by myself-Dobra at the moment could be on the left.
It looks like Norwood and Jackson will be down the middle so with Bishop and Dobra wide and Dozzell and Skuse in the middle that is it sorted for me.
Bishop has been getting chopped down in the middle in recent times but he now seems able to take the challenges and get up again. | | | |

I think that it's not particularly his pace that sends him on those driving runs, but initial burst coupled with close control in a crowded area. I don't think successful wing play is the same. His initial movement would get him going, but his lack of stamina and raw pace would soon see him overhauled. Edwards, for all his obvious flaws is better at stretching out down the flank, that is, if he manages to get clear in the first place. |  |

Is this your list of things to do after lockdown? | |

Haircut booked for the 12th. Already done.
Not into rallies, although I would like to drive in one as it goes. | |

Reality is, there aren’t many players who can drift through players in the middle of the pitch like Bishop can, especially not at this level. When he’s doing it and playing well, it’s exciting to watch. Too little too often though buts it’s worth persevering with. | |

Yes, I was agreeing with your original post (sort of) that playing Bishop wide wastes his talents through the middle. I was just pointing out that in my opinion he would make a better wide player than Edwards is which means balancing what we lose through the middle with what we gain out wide. | | | |

Right wing is where you put young strikers who aren't strong enough yet or proper right wingers. Bish in the middle every time for me. |  |
