AFC Wimbledon: Johnnie Jackson has two-fold issue involving Josh Neufville and Hus Biler – View….

AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson made some bold calls over this summer, switching his primary tactic to involving wing-backs, and entrusting two current players with playing at right wing-back instead of recruiting.

So far, both calls have been proven right, with the Dons playing some fantastic football at times and looking so much better all round, and Jackson’s choices for that right-wing back slot impressing.

The two players in question are Josh Neufville and Hus Biler, who, in their cameos so far this season, have looked top quality, with Biler looking very comfortable defending against Premier League opposition in the Carabao Cup victory over Ipswich Town, and Josh Neufville scoring his first of the season against Fleetwood Town at the weekend, and being a brilliant attacking threat across his appearances in the league.

However, the question going forward is, can Jackson keep both of his starring wing-backs happy with their playing time without disrupting the team rhythm too much as the Dons look to push forward and challenge for promotion.

Josh Neufville and Hus Biler will want to play as much as possible

As mentioned, both have started their seasons really well, with Neufville featuring in Wimbledon’s opening four league games, helping them to three victories, and Biler has helped the club to keep a 100% record in all cup competitions so far.

However, with both players having only a year remaining on their contracts, understandably, both will want to play as much as possible in hopes of remaining at the club into next season, or potentially put themselves in the shop window.

Jackson is going to have a difficult time controlling that though, with the two players offering very different options down the right-hand side.

Neufville offers a better attacking option, with the former Luton Town player not afraid to make runs in behind, take players on and glide his way through opposition defences. He also, as was evident at the weekend, is not afraid to take a shot on, as he powered a thunderous strike into the Fleetwood net to score the only goal of the game in a 1-0 home victory for the Dons.
