My take is still that Snoddy was a good player who performed fairly well in a very disfunctional attack. Was he a part of that disfunctionality? Yes, they all were. Could he adapt to a new game plan? Yes, I think he is good enough. But that is unless his attributes don't match that new game plan.
The new game plan is the one that is very tricky to call. Does Adams favour pace out wide and trying to get in behind? (It would then be a no for Snoddy) The youth team suggests this to an extent. But was he just playing to the hand he had been dealt? i.e. if you have two great talents, with pace in abundance who happen to play on the wing, do you taylor your tactics to get the most out of them? Or is this the way you want to play the game and they were coached to play that way?
I like Snoddy but I still have reservations about how any team will perform in the final 3rd with him in the side. Well at least until he proves himself in a productive attack.
Long story short is, I think for the money we would be fools to reject it. The only caveat to that is if his way of playing is seen as integral to how Adams wants to set us up in which case he will be very hard to replace.
Bah!
