I’ve only seen him as Left back and briefly as CDM. Not sure where else he can play as he doesn’t seem to have the pace or the skill to play higher up? A decent cross is all well and good but a competent right back when you have neither of these attributes won’t let you deliver crosses.
When we got relegated last year he was one of the few players I thought an EFL might snap up as he didn’t look out of place. This year, however, he just seems to have lost his way and been at fault for a number of goals.
In all honesty, he is one of number of players like Rowe, Hallam, Taft whom have only ever been used to losing whilst here. A new opportunity is probably best for all parties.
I’ve said for years he’s a left winger playing LB. Good energy, Good pace and has good delivery into the box and yet his marking is slack and positionally at times he’s all over the place.
I honestly can’t think why coaching staff /management haven’t spotted this and played him further up.
How many of us have said over the years that is delivery into the box is spot on, he likes to get forward but can’t really defend ?
As I said above, it’s mystery why nobody within the club haven’t see what a majority of us have.
