Hoping him and Jones have a real ding-dong for that right sided position next season, that brings out the best in each of them
Fully agreeAssuming most our signings will be late in the window I think Forss might get the chance to secure the number 9 position over the first few games, with Jones playing on the right.
Fully agree
I think it's clear that we no longer see Jones as a wing back. So that almost certainly means on the right of a 3. Also squad number 11 suggests this (not that it's a nailed on number science).
So Forss may get a go down the middle. I actually think he looked as effective on the right. A 'wideman' who had a knack finding space in the box.
I'd say he was a terrific signing at a decent price. Especially if you factor in age etc. A bit like Mcgree. Decent age and great bit of buisness.
I'm sure he'd love the opportunity to play down the middle.
And Hoppe?I think he and Coburn will fight for the starting CF spot.
Has he been given #11?Fully agree

Can’t see that.And Hoppe?
It's good figures for sure but he didn't actually get moved out to Jone's position until 29th Dec so it's 5 contributions as a CF and from his RM role under MC it was 10 . But , whilst building up his good spell was also benched for 3 consecutive games to accommodate Ramsey getting a start so really , maybe could have got even more. Because on his next 2 starts when Ramsey was benched , he scored 1 in each.Not a bad first season for a development player contributing towards 15 goals from a wide position.How do you think he will do this season?
Think he's been seen in training kit with 11 on.Has he been given #11?

Having watched a few streams with commentators biased towards the opposition, a lot of times they were praising Forss for his work rate - that was either early in the season when he was usually playing up top, or later in the season when he was playing wide. Carrick got more out of him playing wide, but he is a good finisher despite not actually scoring many when playing as a striker.
It would be nice if the club managed to sign a few more players like him this summer.
