Is Winchester the RB we've been looking for?

[Lionel Hutzz]

He’s generally a good play player at this level which I called last season . I see him more as a water carrier in midfield the same as Evans . Tin hat firmly on but I never understood what was wrong with Matthew’s at rb . Surely wasn’t on good wages and we’ve had makeshift since

 

[sir rowell cummins]

I thought he did well. However I m f***ing sick of playing players out of position to cover that position. It’s ages since we’ve had 2 good fullbacks. Let’s get it sorted ASAP.

The Exeter lad is only just a full back mind. Former winger.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

No, a proper right back will improve us and give more options in midfield too.

 

[Phantom of mobs]

Did the cross for their goal come from “winchs’s” position?

 

[Ashley In!!]

No. Square pegs in round holes. Some people never learn.

 

[TDalt]

I can see it in his eyes

There is something, something you want to tell me

Matthews was on a fortune.

I think he's a pretty decent right back.

 

[Jcity79]

He'd most certainly do as backup, but we definitely need a proper right back in, and sooner the better.

 

[Jokei84]

Still need one or we will struggle later in the season when we need cover in midfield

 

[daventry cat]

Akins is one of the most difficult wingers to play against. Winch did pretty well against him, and was a real threat going forwards. I reckon he's worth persisting with.

me too, we also have Alves(apparently) and Onein as cover. A specialist would be nice but if the club were to decide to bide their time in order that we get the right one it wouldnt be yjr rnd of the world imo

purists will demand a specialist mind

 

[jimb]

I think play him in DM if evans is out

 

[Thatheaderman]

Hes had great start to the season. Not MOM in any of the three but in top three in each.

Before today I was skeptical but Winchester played very well at right back today.

Defensively he was sound the last few games but struggled to run past Gooch. Today I saw him supporting Gooch more. Definitely could do play right back but I would prefer to buy another one and use him in midfield.

Thought he did very well. Think we need an extra midfielder if that’s the plan.

D3D4 podcast said he was a RB till he joined Oldham. Which would make sense watching his performances.

 

[hodge1973]

Are we really here again? Dear me.

 

[Mackem00]

Good footballer at this level but we shouldn't have to be making do for a right back like. Needs a specialist. Plus he'll be a positive further forward

 

[Gloucester]

Winch very rarely gives the ball away.

While he’s probably good enough to play there, we need him as an option in centre midfield. Particularly is Evans misses a few games

Agree that Winchester is doing a great job there, but we still need to bring in a RB. 2 players who can do every position well.
