Outside of Vitoria we don’t have any other CBS in match form. There is also a lack of established right footed CB. Vitoria and Waterman are the only two that are playing in a good league.

CanadaFan123 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 This is exciting for us, as this would be another depth piece behind Johnston at RCB. However, I’m not convinced Herdman will call him up just yet. Starting at a decent level isn’t enough as evidenced by Waterman and James. Curiously he was called to Canada full side in 2019 and then left out of the 2020 domestic camp. Unless I’m missing an explanation that can’t be a good sign. 18 minutes ago, HochelagaFC said: There is also a lack of established right footed CB.

Even if he is playing/training right now he faces the same conundrum as everyone else coming from MLS - form and fitness. Actually, upon checking the schedule it appears there are 5 match days before the window. That's not so bad. Players should have shaken off the rust by then and should be approaching top fitness. I was thinking the season started much later. Maybe this hurts Zator's case even. It's different if players have only played a game or two before the break - at that point you maybe take a chance on a guy who is playing in a slightly inferior league but playing regularly and peaking in fitness and form. That marginal advantage isn't really there if guys like Henry, MacNaughton and Waterman have already played 5 games. But I guess that's a big IF when it comes to Henry and MacNaughton. Remains to be seen if either will be the starter at their respective clubs. Ruffian and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One thing to remember is Herdman doesn't really care about being "in-form" he ran with the usual guys in January and March last year even though they were out of season. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Played another 90 this past weekend in a 1-1 draw. He contributed to 2 chances, with a great header and cross. Got caught out not tracking his man in the opponents goal tho. He played majority of the minutes at RB, but then shifted to RCB and Godinho slotted in where he was to finish the game. johnyb, NVsoccer, dyslexic nam and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Fotmob MOTM in a 1-0 win. Seems like he's settling well as a right back. Godinho got on at the 66th as well. NVsoccer, Jack1997, narduch and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebdeserio Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Another start and another seemingly good performance. 13 points for them in his 7 games there which is the same amount they managed in 17 games without him. Not sure if they brought in other signings in January but has to be a good sign. Corazon, NVsoccer, Ivan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both fullbacks seem to have made a big difference, being the top rated players on the team, and dragging the team from the basement out of a relegation spot in those 7 games. Godinho doesn’t seem to have as much of an influence but he got his first start today Edited March 11, 2023 by Aird25 K Edgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Zator is 6' 1" decent height for a CB option in a 4 back system. What's his pace like and aerial defending? DeRo_Is_King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace is average, aerial defending is supurb. When he played RB for Cavalry, he looked like a CB playing RB, if you know what I mean, but his positioning was good and his decision making was good also. sebdeserio, costarg, DeRo_Is_King and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him at York I agree he'd be most similar to Vitoria of our current centre backs. Less imposing but more mobile than him.

With the way Alistair has been playing as a wingback/ attacking fullback, he just might be the full replacement as the RCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
