BRISTOL86 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I might be reading too much into this but do you think Hegeler will be used as a CB this season? I know when he came in it was stated that he was adept at playing in that role but when he did feature it was as a midfielder. Just taking a look at the Guernsey squad and the squad list is clearly organised into goalkeepers/defenders/midfielders/attackers with Hegeler appearing towards the beginning. Might be reading something into nothing but is this a sign that we can expect to see him in a defensive role this season? City (from): Jojo Wollacott, Max O’Leary, Aden Flint, Jens Hegeler, Lloyd Kelly, Eros Pisano, Taylor Moore, Zak Vyner, Joe Bryan, Scott Golbourne, Aaron Pierre, Korey Smith, Josh Brownhill, Marlon Pack, Bobby Reid, Diego De Girolamo, Callum O’Dowda, Jamie Paterson, Jonny Smith, Freddie Hinds, Milan Djuric, Shawn McCoulsky.

Phileas Fogg Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 That would indicate he's going to be a defender in that game I think. Perhaps you're right, didn't see enough of him in that position to judge whether he'd be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wouldn't read too much into it at the moment, many players will be tested out of position and we have another game 24 hours layer remember wibs played at CB during preseason last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornacix the Druid Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 18 minutes ago, JonDolman said: I agree I think that is where he is going to play this year. Johnson said last season that hegeler was ready to come in for Wright if Wright was not fit coming back from international duty. That could only mean that hegeler is in front of magnusson in that position. The only reason we have not seen him play there yet in a back 4 is because flint and Wright were always available. So that makes me wonder whether magnusson may be gone, or loaned out. Or playing Left back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wasn't his last start in the 0-5 debacle at Preston? He is one of those who is good coming out with the ball and distributing but doesn't seem to jump for headers when crosses come in. Not sure he started as CB that day but remember his defending was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this will only be needed if we sell Flint just before the season starts? BCFC would not be so ******** silly. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that our internationals aren't back with us yet..? I don't most premier league/championship squads look too convincing, if you take out the better players.

Ashtonwurzel Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 He looks like a proficient Defensive Midfielder to me, who could fill in on an emergency basis as a centre half. But in a 3-5-2 he may well be utilised as one of the defenders. Magnusson looked too weak to play in a back 3 last season but decent in a back 4. Good to have different options for different formations - IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 19 hours ago, Super said: I know we have players to come in but jeez that squad looks so weak. Players like Fielding, Lucic, Magnusson, Wright, O'Neil, Tomlin, Taylor and Diedhiou, plus Wilbs if he is needed and even Engvall, you mean? Not all of those will be first choices (though I'd argue the first eight would all be in our match day 18 at present) but when you consider that we are 8 or 9 light today it really does not look that bad to me, (and we are only playing Guernsey, for goodness sake)...

CheddarReds Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Starts as a Centre half today, alongside Pierre. Imagine it might just be from a rotation pov as Magnusson did a weeks extra work in Iceland, we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just now, cynic said: Never seen him play to have an opinion on him - have you ? He is 24 and out of contract having previously been at Wycombe. Doesn't look great does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a lot said the same when we bought Flint and that didn`t turn out too badly. Most, including me, were chuffed about signing Adam Matthews what with his experience and all.

There`s a difference between being OOC and released and being OOC because you`ve turned down a new one. I doubt his availability has impacted on any other signings we may be interested in TBH, we`re just having a look at him on trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Liked the look of Hegeler on the right of a back 3 when he first arrived. He lost his way after early promise with us last season but showed moments of quality. I can't help but feel/hope a full pre season with us could see him being like a new signing for us this season.
