Peterborough United boss shuts down suggestion that Danny Ormerod is not a winger
Peterborough United boss Luke Williams has shut down suggestion that Danny Ormerod is playing out of position.
The Posh boss did not take kindly to suggestion in his post-match interview that the summer signing was playing out of position when out of the wing.
The 20-year-old has been brought off the bench and asked to play on the left wing in each of the last three matches.
He made his debut against Blackpool last month after signing from National League AFC Fylde. He scored 31 goals in all competitions last season, while playing as a striker, with the club at National League North level.
Shutting down suggestion that the wing is out of position for him, Williams said: “No, he’s not playing out of position.
"He can play anywhere across the front three so you need to watch the history. He’s very comfortable to come in off the outside of the pitch to hit shots or to arrive at the back post when the ball is on the other side.
"You can see the threat that he carries when he operates in the channel and he tries to get the ball back in to cross it. So, he has no problem playing across the front of the pitch, he’s an attacking player. He's a real threat. I’m enjoying working with him a lot.
"We have to look after him but we are delighted he’s here. He's got real quality. You should see him in training. We should put it on YouTube so everyone can marvel at the shots him and Harry are scoring in training.”
