2022/23 James Garner

[Nymzee]

Bigot returns.

Yes Dave I'm sure you have proof of this..not. But as I'm sure you will agree, if a player wants to go badly enough they usually win, contract or no contract. Baines stayed loyal to the end, now on the coaching staff, but of course, you and you're twisted logic know better.

Ha Ha Ha.

He stabbed his own team mates in the back on live tv when they were playing in Europe.

 

[davek]

So he played wing back, not right back. It's a very different concept when you have 3 cbs. As I said he hasn't played right back for us.

He may be seen as last gasp cover, I doubt he is being seen as first choice option. He won't be converted there long term unless he's not good enough at cm.

That's not how his last interview with the club sounded. It came across like the ground is being prepared for that.

Everton midfielder says he is ready to change position

Would you start him in defence next season?

Good that he can cover right back however hopefully he's not needed with Patterson starting and Coleman as back up.

A decent right winger and we could have a tasty right side

 

[Zatara]

The real benefit he gives you at right back is comfort on the ball, something even Seamus doesn't really give you.

There was a point at the end of the first 21s game where Garner, Gibbs White and Smith Rowe linked up on the edge of the opposition box and it was excellent. The defenders didn't stand a chance.

I seem to remember Gareth Barry played left back as a youngster too. Garner might not end up as a right back in the long term but if it gets him in the team now, it can be a positive step in his career.

I think if it would help him get into the full England team then it would make sense. But for us he walks into midfield alongside Onana.

No manager worth his salt would seek to convert a talented midfielder into a full back. The influence and importance from midfield is greater than it is from full back and far harder to source in the transfer market.

That depends on what youre trying to achieve of course.

It also depends on how high his ceiling could be in either role...e.g a very good midfielder or one of the best right backs.

Weve been watching midfield anchor Amadou Onana play box to box for a season ffs...

Played wing back

He played right back marking the Bournemouth winger throughout the game, he went forward when he knew it safe but never played too adventurous, always looking to the bench for directions, he was waved forward once to take a corner on the left hand side once but waved back a couple of times when he went too far forward and had the brains to walk very slow when he was taking the throw ins especially in those nerve wracking ten added on minutes when he walked even slower to take them.

 

[Walken]

He did fine there but he played wing back and had 3 CB's inside of him. Very very different playing in a back four

You're not listening to what people are telling you mate. Garner was often in the RB position for that game. Carry on banging on about a wing back but his managers at club and international level believe in him as a RB.

 

[Curtis]

He's a versatile player but that attribute should be utilized in regards to the midfield as his stint at forest in championship displayed he can even play even further up the pitch as an attacking forward and the last run of games during the most recent season showed he's capable of a deep lying playmaker role along with box to box, midfield is where he needs to be based what role is another question determined by who is playing next to him. He did an admirable job filling in on the wing but just because it suits Dave's anti Patterson crusade I don't think that's his ideal regular position.

 

[DanEFC92]

He played RB once against a Bournemouth that were semi-on-the-beach.

We get it Dave, you loathe Patterson

Hope you recover from when Patterson shagged yer ma so well that it converted her to a protestant AND a Rangers fan.

The only explanation for your random hatred for him at this point.

It’s just not the same when you have a 3rd centre half covering for you.

2 people, one of whom a more cynical poster might suggest has an agenda. He has played wing back in an emergency in one game for his club, if dyche envisions some sort of stones or zinchenko hybrid then maybe he is that option, as it stands we have two decent RBs and Garner is a promising center mid
