Thorniley out to Whyte, across to Taylor... goal!

Think we could hear that a few times this season.

That is insane for a centre back at this level

Whyte has to be play right wing now. It’ll force their back line ten yards further back which opens up the middle for our slick passing

 

[headingtonoldboy]

Being left footed, I suppose he could be a potential cover at left back if needed? Not sure if he has ever played there, but just a thought.

 

[sideshowrob]

He has played at left back according to his interview with Chris Williams.

 

[Peterdev]

Welcome Jordan. This team really looks strong this time.
Get off to a good start and we should do really well

 

[Scotchegg]

Early in preseason Robinson spoke of working on different formations, including 3 at the back. Long, Moore and Thorniley give that option, especially with Gorrin's athleticism ahead of them. I'm not normally a fan of a back three, as it often becomes a back five with wing backs sitting in and leaves a weakened midfield. But the likes of Williams, Whyte and Holland are hardworking wingers who can track back too.

Imagine a line up of,

Stevens
Long Moore Thorniley
Gorrin
Whyte Brannagan McGuane Holland
Taylor Winnall

Excellent signing.......(again).

The best thing we did was to sell a prize asset and allow the squad to be strengthened. We had to do that, we were miles off the 'Top Three' sides and now we are measurably stronger than at any time last season. Brilliant transfer window.

It all sounds so simple.

Wonder how many of his passes didn't come off. I mean, we saw the odd worldy pass from back there from both Ruffels and Hanson, among others. Agree it gives us the ability to stretch the opposition, and with Whyte on the end we could be in for some fireworks.

Replace Winnall with Agyei and that's a decent line up.

No we didn’t
