Bosun Lawal D/M Stoke b.2003

[rebelmusic]

Has had a decent run of games the last while. I'm only basing this on looking at formations but he seems to be playing across multiple positions. Was in midfield a few games back, then center back and is playing right back tonight. Anyone have more info?

I'm still praying that he settles into a strong DM role but the versatility is also a huge plus for us


Edit: I watched the last 20 mins and he was more like right midfield. Very smart overall play and was probably the best Stoke player on the pitch. Commentators complimenting him multiple times.

Cannon played well and was replaced by McGuiness to protect the lead.

Great to see him fit. Lack of top technical ability as we know gets shown up quickly in.midfield at international level killian Phillips been a recent example so it would be a big step up for him .

Looks like Lawal getting a run in midfield today as a response to Stokes current poor run of form. Currently one up.

Sounds like he had a good first half too. I might watch the second half to see how he goes.

Edit - so far all I've seen is John Egan (accidentally) ending Stoke's Slovakian striker Bozenik's season and a long stoppage as a result.

He had a solid second half, without setting the place alight. Nothing that instantly made him the standout candidate to replace Cullen in March but, as a strong physical presence in front of the back four for an away playoff semi final, I could see the logic in including him as an option. Certainly would make more sense than the whole moving Collins to midfield thing that gets brought up from time to time.
