Who's that new right winger? on 08:26 - Feb 1 by KeithHaynes
Really pleased for him.
So am I. He's taken a lot of stick recently probably justified but he has been left isolated and asked to attack and defend. He is always better as a wingback with a central defender covering. If he does leave I wish him the best of luck as he has been very good for us and it can't have been easy changing so many managers particularly Martin and his suicide defending and what a great way to sign off.

Nice to see him get the goal and yes he has the pace to play on the wing and playing in front of a defensively strong full back he could be an asset similar to the way Connor Roberts played in front of Naughton and Bidwell played in front of Manning under Cooper, possibly in front of Ward, Galbraith, Parker or even Ronald?
Really think Key had picked up so many bad habits under Martin and Williams the pressure on him to keep possession of the ball led to him taking far too many touches on the ball in dangerous positions, the emphasis on a wingback style meant he was expected to get forward with the ball expecting cover at all times to be in place from the midfield or the back three, leaving his defensive skills abandoned and almost considered unnecessary, leaving him seemingly hapless in the art of defending against a winger, does he get tight to stop the skillful winger having the ball to feet enabling them to run him ragged or drop off to prevent the ball over the top for a pacy winger.
You have to say Tymon suffered the same problems as well but now Tymon seems to have learnt under Matos that the correct position as a full back enables him to read the winger, able to get a foot in, intercept passes and know how to defend the ball in behind him and when it is going to be used. A good defensive position also allows the fullback to attack the aerial ball which again Tymon is doing. A good winger is always cause fullback problem and often doubling up is required when they have balls in their control.
Key just hasn't got to grips with his defensive role in the Championship because of what has been asked of him previously. Yes we do want to see fullbacks joining the attack at times , playing both Stamenic and Fulton maybe afforded the fullbacks the cover to mark the wingers tighter or allowed our fullbacks to get forward at times but as commented during the game Stamenic left too much space to players in the midfield dropping off, that was addressed later in the first half as Fulton experience being allowed to be used you could see him having a few words with Stamenic, quite amusing really as we had previously seen Fulton under different managers and different captains being far too deep at times.
Really hope Key can now get his confidence back and with help amend his game under Matos because under other managers, I will exclude Sheehan , it looked as if no defensive coaching had been done expecting players to be of Championship quality which meant young players were dumped and forgotten while others were left trying the same old thing that didn't work. Good players try and improve their weaknesses to compliment their strengths but often need advise on how to do that.

With Inoussa being out for a while it definitely makes sense to use Key as a RW with Ronald and Eom and Nunes on the left.. could be the making of him.. If you look at his goal yesterday how hard he worked to get in front of the defender, it wasn't a simple tap in.. and he has that hard work rate in him to be fair

Reminded me of Connor Roberts and the likes of Dyer always getting in on the back post.

Indeed. When was the last time we conceded a goal with him at right back? Shut down WBA, shut down Millwall. He's been playing really well but prejudice sticks.

I’ve been saying for over a year we need to retrain him as a winger. Two sub appearances there and he’s got a goal and an assist in around 30 minutes of football.

It worked for Gareth Bale...

The thing that struck me about his goal after watching it was how far away from goal he was when Stamenic went for the second goal ball ,with his starting position you would never have given him a chance of even getting to the goal line but he showed real pace and anticipation,busting a gut to get past the defender ,who had no clue he was there and showed great strength and determination to get on the end of a very good ball Great goal , you could see how much it meant to him Well done boy
