Bit of a strange one that as we have Pedersen, Seddon and Friend who can play in his position. Presume one of the former two might be off or he's keen to play a back 3/5 with Pedersen at CB next season.

I really hope not as i dont think Colin has the pace to make an out and out RWB

I don't rate Seddon and I don't think Bow does either. I disagree with machine about Colin he is better suited to wing-back clever going forward but not so hot going the other way. Bow is trying to create a lot of options eg 442, 4212 or 532. I'm very impressed with Bow I really hope he succeeds Kro.

I hope to be proved wrong but i think Colin is too hesitant going forward then struggles to get back in position...

I dont like him or Peds as Wing backs much prefer them in a flat back 4..

although i would be interested to see Peds on the left of a back 3 with a proper LWB

I don't like the three at the back with two wing backs formation in general to be honest. Even if it did work against Germany.

Obviously it'll be the best thing ever if Bowyer get's us p*ssing the league playing it every week.

Interesting signing.
Who's Out Pedersen or Seddon.
Hopefully we can find a system that plays to his strengths, which wont be straight away.

2-3 more incoming would be a great close season ?

I think Seddon is on his way to Oxford. I’d heard it before and now seems more than likely. Final year of his deal so likely we’ll try and cash in.

With us bringing someone in and having Friend too, I do wonder if Peds might be available too...
