    Get that but surely that’s due to being used all over the pitch in different positions? Kdb is one of the best midfielders in the world but doubt he’d do a job at left back then right back and left wing all in one game.

    Was on my way to graft at half 4 this morning, Paul Ross and the Moose were cracking on about the EFL on talkSPORT. Saying they had Norwich and Watford as favourites, also mentioned that other teams are better equipped than we are. Now at no point were they being disrespectful and when we Ross first mentioned us, Moose "well they're huge club" They echoed what i had said yesterday on the prediction thread about what I'd be happy with,(mid table drama free finish).it's clear they read this forum... lol. Also said they can't believe Ross isn't a regular starter for Scotland. We do get the air time, just a shame its Australian tea time.

    He proper impressed me in the playoffs. Absolute tank but a nice touch on him.

    Hopefully mate, got no I’ll feeling towards him for going elsewhere, if he needs to be first choice and starting it’s probably best for him to join Preston, interesting to see what we do now

    He’s a grafter like so that’s a shame. He could have covered Stewart but I’d prefer Simms

    I'll stick with my own gut feelings too...

    We have a wider web of contacts on the Continent through KLD...and that's a fact.

    To an extent, we are under the radar with our targets, I reckon.

    yup, cannot be helping him prepare i would think and possibly why i tend to give him the benefit of the doubt most of the time...i am of the opinion that each position takes a different mind-set, maybe i am old fashioned with that as the modern defender seems to be welcomed if he gets up the pitch a lot, defenders need to understand that they cannot go jumping into a tackle or take a risk dragging a player back, the rest of the players might risk a yellow card but a defender could give a penalty away and get sent off.

    Apparently Winchester playing centre half in a back 3 surely we are looking at another? Wouldn’t be comfortable with this in a league game, probably bed wetting like but makes me uneasy shoe horning players in
