According to the Unexamined he's a left footed winger that plays on the right. Buzz keeps playing Rudoni as a left footed right winger, Sorba wants to be on the right and Knockaerts spent most of his career on the right. Holmes 2 recent goals came when he went back to the right 🤔. Should make for some interesting team selections.

Did very well on loan at Ross County so were high hopes for him here but hasn’t really taken his chances.
Wish him well with you guys .

It’s going to be a bit congested down that side.

Margate - Aldershot - Ross - Huddersfield
With pedigree like that he can’t fail.

Can see this being the end of Sorba why ? its not like clubs are lining up to take him. Like MF said our squad isn't even that big, it just means some of the younger guys will go back to the b team .

Why do we keep overloading in positions we don't need filling and completely bypassing those we do??

Conveniently missed out the 17 appearances for Watford 😉 Watford have seen enough in him to extend his contract a few years ago. Okay it looks like he isn’t good enough for them now, but from looking at clips he seems to have pace and the ability to take a player on, something our current right winger lacks.

Can’t say I know much about him
But intrigued to see how Fotheringham fits all these attacking options into the 2/3 forward thinking players in he sets his team up with - Change of approach?
Or are we trying to rival Chelsea’s scattergun approach - left back & keeper needed as priority
On a separate note - have we given up on Maloney? Is he still here? Fit? How many years did Bromby give him?

Struggles at this level when surrounded by the quality players that Watford have. I'm not sure that bodes too well for us.
The SPL is such a poor standard. You see league one and two players going up there and doing well. Only noticed when he got sent off for that stupid challenge yesterday that Aberdeen have that former Wycombe lad at centre half.

Why do we keep overloading in positions we don't need filling and completely bypassing those we do?? We have 1 winger. Others have played out there to help the team. It is also why we have played 352. Due to lack of actual wingers.

Thomas is the only wide / natural wide player we have, that is "first teamer" the rest can play out there. Is it their natural position NO, but they can do a job. We need natural width / options of.

Strengths etc. He was pretty quick and skilful on loan but maybe as talked about above he looked good in a poor league. Whereas here he has looked sluggish and almost as if he had put on too much physically.

I’d have said a few more than that with other options to cover / slot in wide for a 4/3 Thomas , this is why we have brought this bloke in and AK. The others such as Rudoni and Holmes, play out there, but they are not naturally wide players or it is not their natural position .

I’d have said a few more than that with other options to cover / slot in wide for a 4/3 Sorba. It isn't about options to cover. We need players in their natural positions. Rudoni and Holmes are not wide men/wingers. It has been square pegs in round holes in the wide areas for too long.

Now confirmed. Winger on loan from Watford until end of season… I left the military in 2005 with a number of pairs of combat pants which I now wear when I'm painting. A guy that paints his own ceilings is OK as far as I'm concerned.

Brings something different to our attacking line, looked good at Ross county, hopefully does well here

Atleast if he flops and we're back to Thomas starting, this lad can make a start on getting those banana trusses back to their shiny white best

All left backs at the club: Nakayama (out for the season), Ruffels, Jackson (banished from first team for some reason), Headley (not in a match squad since returning, suggesting he's off back out on loan).
Wingers/Attacking mids that have signed or played within the last few weeks: Thomas, Holmes, Knockeart, Rudoni, Diarra, and now Hungbo.

Got a Ross County supporter in my close family - don't we all? - so I've asked the obvious questions. Will report back, once he's sobered up. It's pretty grim up in Dingwall.

Like any new player maybe we should see him play before casting an opinion ?
Agree left back is needed though.
Also, why are we having this signing frenzy now ? Why not in the summer ?
