Weird innit? Look at all the goals we had earlier in the season from early out-swinging crosses for McBurnie to run onto, and we end up playing wingers that play on the "wrong" wing, can't put in the same quality of ball on their weaker foot, and cut inside on the 18 yard line instead

Pretty standard practice for most teams who play with attacking full backs, the thought process being that as the full back over laps it gives the defending full back a decision to make, defend the over lapping run or the cut back inside....play belloumi and millar on the left and right respectively and the defenders will simply defend down the line and encourage them to cut inside onto their weaker foot. Sadly no golden bullet for this or guaranteed choice, if there was then everyone would do it.

If we could get O'Brien that would certainly help in the middle, just comes down to price and well it wont be cheap.

Is he good enough for the prem though?

He is if you look at it sensibly i think we would be lucky to stay up so if we are adding players to help us cope in the prem then he is the type we should look at, if we do go down which is likely then we have decent players to give us another crack at going up again a strong team of players that will stay with the club.

Also being a yoyo club keeps good finance coming in and they can spend it on club facility's and players that do not cost 20 or 30 million.
