There's similarities and differences. For example the game we all saw Allayhar play wing back was in a game we played a back 3 so notably he had cover from the left sided CB. Wing back's normally dont get deployed as much in a back 4 as they're a lot more aggressive as they're more often than not the teams focal point of width attacking wise on that wing.

Now we are playing a back 4 we play with Full backs be it attacking or defending. Allayhar would be found out especially playing that deep

A full back has far more defensive responsibility in a back 4 than a wing back in a back 5. It’s not splitting hairs at all. A wing back is a much more attacking role, you could flip that on its head and say it’s a more defensive winger.

Allahyar standing his ground defending in the box is a sure fire way to get yourself relegated. Might as well play Lo-Tutala with his excellent footwork in the #10 role.

I think saying he's a significant improvement over Ingram is both being harsh on Ingram and over zealous towards Darlow. He's played 1 game this season, only 8 last season. He's not going to come in march fit and at his sharpest. I don't think he'll push past Matt for a while ( if at all this season ). Matt is a very good championship keeper that for some odd reason always seems to be played down by some of our fans, yes he's cost us a couple of goals this season ( find a keeper who won't do that over a season ) but he's won us many points over the last few seasons.

I'll be pleased if and when Darlow comes because he will improve our choice in keepers and we will have 2 very capable keepers at this level. But it's a significant improvement in depth as opposed to a significant improvement over Ingram

I’d say ‘a very good Championship keeper’ is stretching a bit. He’s ok, but I think it’s an easy choice to make out the two of them… and it isn’t Ingram.

That can only be a guess, none of us really have any idea how good Darlow is compared to Ingram do we.

You seem to have a really big thing for judging players based on division. For every player it seems to come down to "Played for us in League 1 at one point = objectively ****. Played in the PL = objectively better than what we've got." You must understand it's not that simple though surely?

Under Rosey's system, Christie plays a lot higher up than is expected of a full back


I've always hated Coyle as a wing-back. Defensively, there's lots of space and whenever he's up against a pacey winger/wingback, it's a recipe for disaster.

Where did I mention wing backs? We play in a back four. I said Ally is worse defensively than Elder and Coyle. He may be better going forward but that's irrelevant to what I said.
