Connor Roberts

[dougcollins]

Plays against Son again tonight.

Wales v S Korea friendly.

[Vino blanco]

Is he playing left back?

[dougcollins]

You would assume not.

[dougcollins]

Tomorrow, sorry.

[Hipper]

I hope no-one has to ask the question 'why couldn't you defend like that for Burnley'.

[Hipper]

It's being shown on BBC iPlayer and S4C (and S4C online). KO 1945. S4C (a welsh channel) is on Virgin Channel 164 in England.

Naughty!

[Quickenthetempo]

Let's hope he has a confidence boosting good game.

He was shocking last week at left back. Not all his fault but it's bound to affect the players.

Everything we're doing at the moment is slowly destroying players confidence, we've picked new signings over the players that got us there despite generally not being any higher calibre of player:
Zaroury/Benson out for Koleosho
Muric out for Trafford
Brownhill out for Berge
Ekdal behind O'Shea and Delcroix
Taylor out for Delcroix
Al Dakhil moved to right back
Roberts moved to left back
System and formation change

No good for confidence and has killed all last season's momentum which is usually crucial for newly promoted teams

[RickyBobby]

The only good thing about watching wales on S4C is laughing at how they pronounce Ampadu.

[Stayingup]

It looked to me like he played more of left wing back than left back. Missing in defence.

Just my opinion but I have always thought that it takes 4 or 5 games for a player to adjust to a different position.
But RB to LB in a build from the back system where you receive the ball at chest height with a man about to hit you, well that could take some counselling sessions just to get your head around it

I presume Vinny has them all training in different positions to get used to changes and it's not his first game at left back.

The constant having to cut back onto his right foot and slow the game down should see it his last.

This is exactly how I see it.

Textbook what not to do after promotion -

Innovation is good… sometimes trying to reinvent the wheel can be disastrous. Pivotal run of games coming up soon.

[Spijed]

Good win for Wales tonight, beating Croatia 2-1, with Roberts playing.

[LeadBelly]

Good win for Wales tonight, beating Croatia 2-1, with Roberts playing.

Yep, good win that, 2 goals for Harry Wilson. Croatia lost at home to (now group leaders) Turkey midweek too and Wales are now level with Croatia on 10 points. Armenia away and Turkey at home remaining for Wales.

Or if you look at the actual facts
Benson out injured
Ekdal out injured
Al Dakhill played mostly at centre back
Brownhill and Berge both playing
Roberts played most games at right back
Taylor played more games than Delcroix at left back.

But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good old f’in moan.

[Jellybean]

To be fair bumbas comment was from early September

[Big Vinny K]

Apologies then - didn’t notice the date.

[bumba]

Apologies then - didn’t notice the date.

You didn't notice a key fact......
