I see this term used a lot lately, what is an impact player ? Any substitution made is to have an effect on the current game. Thus in my undertanding, everyone on the bench is a potential impact player, from defense to offense. If they not goingto have an impact on the flow of the game, then why pick them or put them in ? We tend to have a lot of new words to describe age old stuff, and figuring we should get a new process. There are new processes, like nutrition, training methods and fitness developmnet, , some footwear etc, but the mindset hasn't changed much.. I see #9, False 9, 10, all kinda terminologies, but is the same systems..People play and adjust to suite the position of the ball.
Anyway, on Dilly II, judgng from his play, i repeat, I won't say he would not bring something to the table, he good. But with the current players around, I do not see a greater impact on the team that we currently have... eg. Cyrus overlaps, and squares..no right midfield involvement except for a fake run into space..or Cyrus overlaps and feeds Cato..the 2 times, would Dilly have made a bigger difference, not sure..now is the difference he would make, worth dropping exactly what I know, and his teammates know what Cato or Hector will do or try to do, or capable of, wil it disrupt these guys hanging together for the last few years and wanting to play with the coach and following his instructions, and accepting they buff when they don't. How will he react when buffed by KJ ? The guys will need time to know him and him them, but he ain't even make a turn yet, after all these years..just we talking, no passport , injury or Fifa excuse..just we talking...He make up with he father, nice...well visit and check a game nah, we might even sit yuh in VIP..nope, nothing.. Forget Dilly II, when he ready he will do what he have to do, and we will evaluate, but won't be surprised if it already to late.
add: oops is a Bostock thread..at least Bostock, come a session and watch ah game and maybe cheers a Carib with the lads, "we did a little bottle & spoon ting, is all hon"..So I going with he, if the opportunity surfaces..and he better have an impact, else we dropping him same speed.
