Gera pining for return to wings

Zoltan Gera believes his best chance of regular Fulham action under Mark Hughes will come on the wing rather than in attack.[LNB] Gera has recently seen himself deployed up front by Hughes due to injuries to Bobby Zamora, Andrew Johnson and Moussa Dembele.[LNB]But the 31-year-old is pining for a return to a wider attacking role, telling Sky Sports' website: "I really enjoy training but (Hughes') tactics differ from Roy Hodgson's.[LNB]"Hughes wants a strong striker who can run into the space and hold the ball, but I'm not that kind of player.[LNB]"My best chance to play is on either wing, where I also like playing. In 4-4-2, our wingers are not very close to the touchline. They can play quite free football. They can run into the centre part of the pitch. This fits my style.[LNB]"I'm happy to see that I may have the possibility to play as a winger. I'm patient and know that if I go on like this then I'll be a regular member of the starting line-up."
