[Albion] Lamptey and Veltman

[dazzer6666]

I think Lamptey will be eased back in, due to the type of player he is - ie not just starting and playing 90 mins consistently at first.

However, I'd be quite happy with Veltman to CB in Burn's place until Webster comes back, with Karbownik as the LWB perhaps?

Thread closed.......(or should be, plenty of others discussing this anyway )

Nice!! Would love to see Lamptey as an inverted LWB! Potter would obvs trial him in this position/role in training before UNLEASHING him. Definitely opposition dependent but given his pace and workrate it's surely worth a go?

Great idea, bring it on!

Now, do I email Barber?

The problem with playing Lamptey further forward than RWB would be that you restrict the space he can run into, thereby lessening his impact. I'd go with Lamptey at RWB, Veltman, White and Dunk as the back three (whilst Webster is out) and play Burn as LWB. Ok, Burn is restricted as a Wing Back but I think we'd benefit from his height at defending set pieces.
When Webster is back I can see Veltman and Lamptey being rotated to protect Lamptey from injury as the wing back position is very demanding physically. I think this could have been a contributing factor towards Solly's injury as he'd had little rest.

As an aside, I can see Moder getting more minutes as the season concludes, just to ensure we keep our key midfielders fresh.

Absolutely this.

I know Veltman has done very well at RWB but his natural position is CB, and Lamptey's RWB. Surely it is a no brainer.

Agreed. But we'd then have threads like this as Webster returned. Over the season JV has been our most reliable CB as well as RB

Of me getting a game as a leftie, yes get in and at 55 I wont slow our pace down much!

At 43 and with a “cultured” left foot I beg first dibs

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I think there's a good chance we will see Lamptey on the left. As other's have mentioned, he's best served by running from deep as part of a quick counter-attack. I can just imagine him cutting inside to run at defenders and scaring the crap out of them.

Probably best to ask Potter

 

[blue-shifted]

-------Veltman Dunk White
Lamptey Bissouma Gross Burn

Is the most likely way they both get fit in.

When Webby is fit, one will have to miss out. It will be either, Veltman, White or Gross. My money is on White

Bugger, second dibs for me then.

still in my 40's, very accurate left peg but probably some culture growing on my boots.

Seems the albion only needed to take a butchers on nsc their left sided issues would’ve been sorted by now and with 5 subs we could’ve all got a little 20 min stint

Veltman is a smart player I think he do a job wherever you asked him to play.

Wasn't Lamptey meant to have been in the squad for West Brom but he wasnt ?

So like most Albion injuries he will probably be rested until season 2021/22

 

[Deleted member 2719]

I’m fairly sure I saw veltman make several passes with his left foot so he could move across? We are woefully short of lefties throughout the squad

I think he is quite comfortable with his left foot as you say, and his experience would help him not to be phased by switching sides.

I played RB or RWB most of my football days, I was less effective going forward on the left, but was just as effective stopping the fecker's come by me!

Definitely think this is a good possibility when lamptey is fully fit.

Lamptey trending on Twitter with Gooners wetting themselves with excitement at someone linking them.

Lots of noise re Arsenal and Everton being interested for £30m.

Would be great business for the club if true, but I would be gutted to have him leave and never see him playing for us in the flesh.

 

[brighton_tom]

If Lamptey was available for sale then I’m sure you’d have more than Arsenal & Everton interested. & considering Chelsea have a sell on percentage £30m seems the absolute minimum we’d want, probably higher.

Lamptey trending on Twitter with Gooners wetting themselves with excitement at someone linking them.

And tweeting as if they would get him if they wanted him (like Leeds and White). Totally deluded.
