2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[MikeH72]

If he's going to be good he's a playmaker either off the right or as a #10 type. He's too slow and one footed to play off the left. He's not been trained as a defender to play LB (although he can still end up here if he doesn't start showing more in the final 3rd). He was a bad player at Burnley tbh, we signed him on potential but that's just not always the move for a guy who has played a lot of first team matches already. You can see Godfrey, Ben for more on that.

Off the right is his worst position, I’ve seen enough of him there to know that he can’t play there.

He has a lot of potential IMO. The first thing he needs to do though is hit the gym. Looks incredibly weak

Does he? In what sense? What attributes stand out about him?

He's a players player. His full back appreciates him more than the fans. Nothing unique in that, tbh.

So he runs around a lot and defends? Brilliant. He’s a forward.

Good left foot, decent dribbler and a good work rate. Hasn't even played 10 games yet and he's written off.

Hahaha. We'll see what happens with him.

 

[Brendan Janus]

He's useless !!

 

[Bob Elstone]

Seems slow.

Got a good left peg. Will be better for him with players (DCL) to hit.

Good attitude goes a long way. Obviously some ability is needed, but he's got it in his locker to be putting quality balls into a proper no9. Needs to stay on the left though, imo.

I'll repeat though, good attitude goes a long way towards fixing the problems we had. I don't even think he's been bought to be here long term. I reckon he'll be gone in 2 years, after doing a job for a bit, we'll hopefully buy somebody better.

We might even see him pop up with a winning goal at some point

He’s a left back this lad
