Postecoglou on Alfie Dorrington: “He's been in the squad the last three to four weeks so we've had plenty of time to look at him. Him and Jamie, who got on last week, have been part of the first team squad. We've still got a lot of injuries but we've got a lot of games ahead so [Alfie] could get his chance in the weeks ahead.” —————— Fingers crossed we get to see him soon
It's this weird inconvenience that, as our academy teams play as close to our first team as possible, Dorrington has the Romero role while Ash Phillips has the Mickey Van role - so what we really need right now is Phillips at the very least on the bench...so of course he's crocked
I might be wrong and have only watched the odd half of academy football this season but I think Phillips actually plays on the right and Dorrington on the left? Neither are left footed though.
While they play in those positions, the way Dorrington plays almost as a box-to-box midfielder at times is very reminiscent of Romero, while Phillips does move the ball up the pitch yet he tends to sit in our half more like Mickey Van
