Jayson Molumby

I notice that Preston are signing another midfielder, Ben Whiteman of Doncaster.

Perhaps a sign that Alan Browne may be off if not in this transfer window then the summer as a free agent.

Browne covering right back isn't ideal - but I'd rather see him at right back than see Molumby shoved out there.

Sounds like he had a really good game. I still think the amount of ground covered by both Molumby and Knight box to box makes them potentially great future options for us in midfield. Maybe even as soon as March with a sitting midfielder in behind them protecting the back 4.

I'd play em both with Cullen/McCarthy in behind.

Have to look to the future and bring more energy and forward passing to our midfield.

But Kenny will play Hendrick 100% and possibly stick with Hourihane if he's back playing.

Seems the safer option and I fear he will opt for safety.

Seems to be playing an advanced midfield role today v Reading.
Another start is good news.

Not really.

I watched the second half and he didn't see much of the ball, he got booked and gave the ball away cheaply before being subbed.

Feel hes more a holding midfielder, that's where he's played for Millwall last year and did very well. Thats also where he's played for Brighton.

When I've seen him play he's really good at receiving the ball from defence and either passing forward or carrying it up the field.

I think knight or smallbone are better suited in the more advanced role as the have the through ball, shot and finish that I dont think is Molumbys strength

Think he could be a good box to box midfielder as he can pick a pass too. He has all the qualities of a ball playing holding midfielder and has a decent engine too his tackling would need work as it can be reckless mind.

Was very good for Preston against Birmingham last week watched it and he was a cut above. At the very worst he’s going to be a top level Championship player but I’d be shocked if he isn’t playing top flight football in a few years time and for most of his life afterwards with a bit of luck/natural progression.

He’s getting game time for Preston now which is great and let’s just hope he stays fit now and gets a run of games. The way we have got injuries that mightn’t be a guarantee either 😂
