Fleming has been brilliant. We're really blessed at left back. If Emmanuel can get fit again then we're blessed at right back too. I don't think it's an area we need to be talking about changing up at all
Shoto has said his preferred formation is 4-3-3 so imagine he will build a team around that. No evidence to show that Fleming would perform in a back 4. Good wing back though.
I find comments like this really bizarre re Fleming. We've not really seen him in a back 4 but that doesn't mean he's no good. He'll probably have spent 80/90% of his footballing education in a back 4 instead of at wing back. With his attributes, there's no reason he won't do great in a back 4.
Mainly because Magennis didn’t do half the running about and chasing down that Eaves does - tbh he looked disinterested and lazy a lot of times or just pissed off with Wilkes
Not sure if its the way we are playing with wing backs which tends to force Flemming up the park, but his defensive work is not nearly as good as he is going forward, almost akin to Robertson in his early days here. Definitely be interesting seeing how he fares in a flat 4.
