Take your mouse and move it to the other side of your desk. If you’re right handed move it to your left, so you have to control it with your left hand. If you’re left handed do the opposite. Do you feel as comfortable? Are you able to perform tasks on your computer as easily? Do you find it frustrating? If you are at work and a computer is essential to complete your tasks, do you think your productivity would be up or down? If you’re a manager/business owner type could you ever envisage a reason to make your staff complete their duties using the wrong hand? If you did, do you think your team would achieve more or less? Bearing that in mind, could anyone tell me why we bought Devaney, an almost exclusively right-footed player, to play on the left wing? And why we choose to play a right-footed player at left back? Do such tactics get the best out of these players? Do they help the team achieve their full potential?
I dont think it matters. Right foot/left foot...can play on either wing,i know i did and i reached the dizzy heights of Sunday league division 5.
I don't care if our players can't write I just wish they could play football. Had we shown the same desire annd commitment in the first quarter of an hour as we did when we were down to 10 men we wouldn't have been a goal down. There was loads of talk from our players last week but they didn't wake up until Austin was sent off.
Anthony Kay - nearly man I have sympathy with Kay, but I have to say after Saturday, he is not good enough to play centre midfield. Carbon and Reid are first choice centre backs, so midfield was his next option. But he doesnt seem to have the engine he had 2 or 3 seasons ago. He was blowing after 20 minutes, looked like he had lead in his boots and couldnt get his legs moving fast enough. He lost Green a few times, including for the goal, and he seemed totally off the pace. Also, I have to say he was his own worst enemy for the sending off. His rash tackle in the 2nd half put Green out of the game, and he got a warning from Rennie. 10 minutes later, huffing and puffing like he's lost a lung, he jumps into Coppinger, stuipid stupid boy. Lack of fitness and lack of discpline. He will definately be the person to miss out when Kell returns, and I wont be surprised if on reviewing the video evidence, Ritchie decides a spell on the sidelines is required. He's already looking at other centre halves (Grant) and I think Saturday will have convinced the manager that he's only a stop gap midfield option also. Hugely disappointed cos I thought this was going to be the season he made good, but it just isnt happening for him, and I sense a change of club on the horizon for Kay.
To be fair to Kay He rarely gets a chance to play centre midfield to build up his fitness. You can't expect him to play a month at centre half, a position that doesn't require great fitness, and then put him in central midfield and expct him to tear about for the full 90 minutes. If he's going to be played there he needs a few games to settle in to it. He's one of the crowd's whipping boys at the moment, but the lad rarely has time to find his feet in one position before he is moved elsewhere. Even yesterday he was moved to left back. And he actually played the pass of the game. He turned a player in the centre and mad a pefect pass to Hayes on the edge of the box who had found a couple of yards of space. Should have been an easy chance but for some reason Hayes was thinking about who he was going to shag that night and miscontrolled the ball.
Agree about being moved about the field But I'm not sure he's got the minerals for a box to box centre midfield, he generally times his tackles badly so nothing there to suggest he could play holding role, and the time he's spent as centre half has resulted in his right foot turning into a sand wedge. 3 game ban, he'll struggle to get back in the side. Unless we do **** like...
Trouble is.. what have we got in reserve. For me Dale Tonge's best games in first team have were last season in midfield...
I still believe If he was given a proper run in central midfield without being moved about the pitch that he would make a very good player for us. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever get the chance to see that. So far this season he's played centre half, central midfield, right wing, left back and even up front. Successive managers have conspired to turn a decent young talent into someone who is not sure what he's doing in any position.
RE: I AGREE WITH THAT! He has been ruined over the past couple of seasons, in the same way that Paul Madeley was at Leeds United a few years ago. Not trying to put Kay in the same class as Madeley but the principle is the same. Having said that, he was disappointing on Saturday but I couldn't understand why he was taking the left side and not Burns, who is much more comfortable on his left.
I am totally right handed but as I worked a lot with computers before my age became a barrier to my being able to work at all, I trained myself to use the mouse left handed. It is now much more comfortable than using it right handed.
