Mitchell is a good defender who generally wins his 1 on 1s. He is young and still learning. I don't see a need for an upgrade, not given the resources we are likely to have in the summer. There are greater needs IMO, starting with getting our own box-to-box midfielder for next season.

Exactly.

Ideally but not desperately given we have Jairo and Schlupp who have shown they can play there if needed. Obviously, if we lost Mitchell permanently or for the best part of a season then the situation changes but that would be the case with a number of positions.

Going to be a top class defender in time, as long as he remains with the club who can help him. AWB for example

He's developed well since he played his first game. He'll continue to improve and become a better all round attacking full back as is required today.

You only have to see or hear his interviews to realise he's still a humble, shy young kid who appreciates the chance he's been given. Give him a break.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

He will improve but my criticism is of his throw-ins.

I accept he is not helped by colleagues who are not getting into space but I can't remember when we last took the ball forward from a throw-in.

Ward is better but he also suffers from lack of 'space awareness'

I suppose improvements on our corners and free kicks must take priority but our throw-ins are abysmal.
