Apparently Uwakwe & Devine are back in training.
I wonder which game Devine will make his 45 minute cameo in this season?

I had a feeling Uwakwe would come back in the fold.

Is Uwakwe shown playing or just the clip of some light running? Big difference if he isn’t in contact games yet.

Are you suggesting something was wrong with player and previous management sir?

I had heard he wasnt enamoured with Flynn, but that he was far from alone in that.

is anyone enamoured with Uwakwe?
He did okay in most games, i do remember him getting wrecked by a right winger in 1 home match. Given Gav is changing formation, i assume 433, the challenge is where a wing back fits. So no way i would consider Shade a full back, he was barely a wing back. I think the same with Uwakwe. Kokolo maybe alright at LB. Assume Uwakwe now competing in midfield (as i believe he played at Crewe) and Shade now one of the forwards.

I think in the opponents half he looks good and gets some great crosses in, he has 2 assists. But like Hutton he is not a left back and his defensive ability is poor. His favoured position is centre attacking midfield when he was at Chelsea with a few stints on the left wing role.

Give me 442 any day with a left back, right back, two wide midfielders, two central tough tacklers and two forwards then work a plan B around that if need be.

Flat back 4 with UGM and FBT as the full backs for me.
Uwakwe only really fits left mid if we go 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1

We don't have a specific left winger in the squad currently so I would give him a go there, between him and Kokolo. At Crewe Uwakwe played in the Kemp AMC playmaker role a few times fairly successfully. Shade for me is far better employed wide right where he can take his man on and not just cut inside as he does on the left being he is so 1 footed.
