Burns "great" on the left, Omari assist master on the right.... on 22:51 - Oct 15 with 3546 views | Garv | The left sider needs to be a good ball carrier, technical, good at keeping possession. The right sider just needs to cause chaos and make runs forward. Doubt Burns will be switching anytime soon because he played a good hour against Montenegro. Wouldn't be averse to seeing Hutchinson right and Chaplin or Szmodics central though. |  |

Has Hutch been playing in a 10 position all season? There was a call for him to take up the chapters 10 position last season. However I do agree that perhaps having Hutchinson on the right and bring Szmodics into an inside left position. Though being amazing at this level doesn't mean it works in the EPL. |  | |  |

He's not played one league game on the right. ( burns or ogbene have. Even johnson I think but they may have been pre season ) I'm gonna add I think here. I'm usually wrong so this is based on my rubbish memory lol. I just don't get it personally. Our most dangerous player suffocated in the middle roaming role. As I've said a few times. I don't know of many if any players who have the attributes of hutch who play a central role. They're always on the sides coming inside or going outside I'd love to see KM put him right. I honestly don't know why we haven't seen it. What problems would it cause us if we put him right? [Post edited 15 Oct 2024 23:10]

Not for me, it’s not ridiculous. Think 10 will be his position going forward, plus we have no out ball on the right if we need to get rid of it sharpish which Burns gives us with his height. |  | |  |

Agree. I posted this on another thread about him: McKenna quite frequently talks about looking at the short, medium and long term of the club when making decisions. I think with Omari when (and I think it's a when not an if) he nails the right sided 10 role he'll be much better in that role than anyone else in the squad. I think that maybe goes into the medium (which I take to be looking a bit further than the next match) term bucket for McKenna and will be why he'll stick with Omari in as the right sided 10 rather than push him out to where Burns/Ogbene have been starting. The right sided 10 does also drift further right at times - Chappers used to do it a lot when he was starting in that role. I think for some matches for tactical reasons we might see Omari in the RW role but think he'll still spend most of the season in the R10 slot. |  |

We are looking at Burns and Hutchinson playing in.... on 09:50 - Oct 16 with 2687 views | Marshalls_Mullet | ...matches that are far less competitive than the Premier League, and suggesting changes. Burns was immense on the right last season, but we have made a huge jump in quality of opposition. Omari was a great No10 in the Champ. We are in a different world now. |  |

Not at all, I just don't get it personally, he's not really showing anything in that position. We know what a player he is, he showed that again last night, in the right position. |  |

Don't really see that Dav, IF the footy stats are right he's won 1 aerial ball so far this season. And our out seems to be Davis or Delap, think that's been one of our, I wouldn't say failings, but perhaps weakness is that we haven't made the most of our right hand side. |  |

"Omari was a great No10 in the Champ." He wasn't though, he made his first team place his own when he played the right role. All his goals came from when he played a wide position too. someone on here took the time to look that up a little while back. I dunno, im clearly not seeing something about him in the 10 role. |  |

It’s an interesting conundrum for sure - but 5/7 into 3 don’t go on 11:18 - Oct 16 with 2485 views | unstableblue | McKenna now has great talent and cover in the attacking midfielder 3, but I’m not sure he’s quite nailed his best line-up and starting 3. And that group needs to start providing more goals and assists if we’re to survive. I think our system suits having the target man of Burns or Ogbene, but Hutchinson is good on the right. J Clarke Hutchinson Burns - Seems to the current preference. But leaving out Szmodics seems wrong, and I’m not sure Sammie is someone who’s for does well when not playing. Also Ogbene has shown at times that he brings a lot. And of course you have Broadhead and Chaplin, who seem some way off the first team selection, or even matchday squad selection for Broadhead. Although I’d like to see him included. I do think that will be to replace Chaplin - who I’m sure is a key figure in the dressing room. Almost a club captain. I do wonder for certain games if we should go J Clarke Szmodics Hutchinson I just think Sammie and Omari may be more dangerous/effective in those positions? |  |

He played well out wide, and had some awesome matches at No10. He's just adjusting to the new level. He took until about Xmas last year to make an impression. KM is not doubt not judging him on goal scoring output alone. [Post edited 16 Oct 2024 11:20]

"He took until about Xmas last year to make an impression." Yes because he was being played in various roles including the 10 He made an impression once he became a regular wide player. KM will have his reasons of course, I just don't see what they are, which I think is fair as he's not done anything of note in it. |  |

Personally, if it's not J Clarke Szmodics Hutchinson then I don't see why we brought Szmodics in the first place. |  |

fair enough. I still disagree on the original statement and you might well be proved right, but i don't see us not playing Burns or Ogbene in that right hand side role for the majority of the season. Omari needs to be given time, this is only his 2nd season playing regularly. I think it will come. |  | |  |

Definitely the Sheff Wed at home game he played No.10 and looked like a world beater and ran the game. he definitely did have some good games in the middle or got moved there if we took Chaplin off. |  | |  |
