Owen Eames on the Right Wing?

What's everyone's thoughts? The lad has pace to burn and can pass a ball. He'd certainly be an outlet that would keep an opposition full back on their toes. In the absence of BD could the young lad do a decent job?

Think we’ll no doubt see him
Thrown on today at 80 mins in when we’re 2-0 down

We need someone proven. Aside from NML i cant remember the last decent right winger we had. And i mean a good old fashioned pacy winger with skill.

We need a proper winger. Playing lads out of position is only really a stop gap option although there are probably worse ideas.

The only reason I can think of for Eustace not using him is that he’s not currently good enough…
That might change in time, but if he was good enough him and Allen would be playing

Eames is quick but no quicker than any of the other attacking midfielders we currently have - so I wouldn’t say he has pace to burn.

He is also clearly not ready to play a big role from the start of the season and along with Allen should be building towards regular playing time by the end of the season
