Widell

[Dillwyn the Dog]

Starting to see a player in him.
His strength really stood out today along with his touch and intelligence.

Well you do take a while to notice things . There’s always been a player “in him”. Some of us saw it in Spain it’s just you, a few others and Sheehan who have a blind spot or in Sheehan’s case prefers yes men like Cullen who will run around a lot while the opposition run past them with the ball.
It was Vipotnik who was last years “Widdell/Inoussa” and look what happened there.
Sheehan’s failure is he sets out to counter teams without making them counter what we are doing. Passive not aggressive.

I think he deserves a chance in the role.

I have beat the drum that he is not a 10 but we currently don't have a serious contender for that role so it would be nice to give him a go as he seems to have attributes to play that position.

Wasn't I telling you this months ago? At the time you said “he’s only once or twice played there, he’s a central midfielder blah blah blah “.
Take a break from being the all seeing and knowing - when you’re neither!

So let me get this right, you have been telling me this and that but YOU WANT ME to take a break from being the all seeing and knowing!?

Ok, that makes sense!

Let's see him play at 10 shall we first before you give the big "I was right" speech. The fact is that he has hardly played there but it's not saying he can't do a job there.

I was always consistent that there was a player in Vipotnik.
I must have got lucky with that one.

Widell looks like he's half man, half Jack Russell at times.

This is great player management

The player feels validated that his effort has paid off, the manager has acknowledged his effort and the player hopefully sees a route forward to be playing games

And other players will also see that and think that the door is open if they put in the effort

Gave my ticket away Wednesday due to a bloody virus. Watched most of the first half, what really stood out to me was Widdell geeing all the players up, high fiving, screaming, picking our lads up off the floor.
If we’re going to make any sort of attempt at the play offs, I think he will be the key.
