IMA MAROON Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think we might be better off playing him on the right because when he cuts in from the left his shooting with his right foot is not that great, it is pretty weak. Â This would also give Obua a chance to play in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Driver left, Chesney right. Â Driver's first job is to create goals, not score them, and he'll do that more often on the left imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Did he not play on the right against Celtic in the CIS and set up a goal? Â I dunno though. He is very poor on his right but if he played on the right hand side he would be cutting back onto his left everytime he wanted to cross the ball, which is a wingers main role. Â Solution is he works hard on his right foot and his final ball then there is no need to move him. I'm confident he is doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'd like him to work on his final ball. His shooting and crossing has been pretty poor of late and if he really wants to move up a level it's something he will need to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's a good point. Â Driver would be better off cutting inside and having a shot because he has very little to aim at in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sked21 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's a good point. Driver would be better off cutting inside and having a shot because he has very little to aim at in the box.  To be fair it doesn't matter if we have every player in the box it still needs to be a good cross.  Just keep him on the left with Chesney on the right and have them as well as the full backs practice crossing as it has been woeful this season.

loveofthegame Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It would mean his only real option would be cutting back onto his left every single time as he would be unable to deliver a decent ball on his right foot. Becomes too easy to read. Â At least on the left he has the choice of going down the line or cutting back in and having a shot. Just because he cuts in from the left doesn't mean he has to shoot with his right, see the goals at Hamilton and his wonder goal against Falkirk at Tynie this season for example. Â Moving him to the right for short periods of games is a good idea, i quite like when wingers switch every so often, keeps the full backs guessing. However, moving him permanently to the right would be ridiculous, but thankfully will not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bapswent Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Both. Â Swapping wings, adaptable and confusing for the opposition. Â Why tie him to one wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sked21 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Niether Miko, Chesney or Driver can be considered as a good crosser of the ball. Â Exactly. i.e it doesn't matter how many players are in the box as there crossing is as I said woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N User Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Last season Driver's best games were all on the right side. Â We have a player whose best attribute is taking on players but who struggles to hit a decent shot or put in a decent cross on a consistent basis. Â Until his final ball improves I think Driver will be most productive at putting pressure on defences and scoring goals himself. At right wing, he's more likely to score than at left wing due to his very weak right footed shots. Â That being said, at left wing Driver has already put in some great performances this season and if we let him develop and he works on his crossing- we could have an extremely effective left winger.

IMA MAROON Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Obua(left) and Driver(right) is the way forward then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
