New loan player [Jayden Richardson]

[matt_magpie]

Brindley's found his role back there. And Richardson is far better suited than him for bombing up and down the wing

Agree Brindleys done really well there, the only criticism I’ve ever had of him is I thought he didn’t get forward enough as he certainly has the ability to, always felt he’s slightly played within himself at RB as he’s a very talented player at this level. Richardson sounds a very good signing, I think most fans and staff really like DKE but he’s a RB not a WB and Parsons a Winger, at least IB knows what he’s getting if he’s watched him a lot.

Yeah, I remember watching this particular L2 play-off game and thinking how good he was. If he plays to that level it will definitely be great at NL level.

Wing back?

[the_anticlough]

Yeah, he popped up as LWB in that game! There's a video on his arrival at Exeter where he describes himself as RWB...
But a wideman that likes to get forward for sure

A month's loan...maybe IB has one particular match and match-up in mind. Miller at Chesterfield, locking him up on one end and exploiting his weakness at another?

I’d already be thinking about what we can do with Roberts to get him into wide areas for that match. We’d have to sort the structure behind him to deal with Miller going forward, but Cal is perfect to exploit the space he leaves going the other way.

The feeling on their board is that he's way to good for the National League and we've done well to get him. Well done to whoever got this deal sorted, and hope he gets a few games whilst with us.

This ones been in the pipeline for along time on and off, glad it’s done, I think people can guess why it’s taken a long time to sort.

I think we should forget about Brinds as a wing back (apart from in an emergency). He's a great RCB or RB in a four.
He's a quality over quantity type player. I don't think it's in his nature to bomb up and down a flank all game, but when the game comes to him in that RCB role his work is pretty immaculate and he will use the space ahead of him a few times each game.

What I like is that he’s already got experience playing at a higher level; feels like a bit of a coup to get him.

Agree, he's not a complete rookie and should know what to expect. Look forward to seeing what he can offer.

[BigFatPie]

Wow, on the face of it signing a player who’s played in the championship this season seems like quite the coup.

RWB though, haven’t we got a few of them already?

Not really BFP, maybe none at all to the standard required if we’re serious about promotion. I think the arrival of Parsons and Richardson shows that IB is totally committed to 3-5-2, and with good reason, we have players who are great for that system...apart from RWB. Richardson looks like the best answer so far. It’s going to help us a tonne to have proper specialists on both sides of the pitch
