One of the many purposes of NYRB II, the New York Red Bulls' reserve team, is to provide a professional environment for players to adapt to new positions or tactics.
In the team's latest game, head coach John Wolyniec withdrew first team center back Gideon Baah at half-time - an expected move given the fact the player is returning from injury and simply needed some competitive minutes to test the success of his rehab.
Less expected, Wolyniec replaced Baah with Stefano Bonomo - a player conventionally regarded as a forward.
