If Roy can't improve his form then I think we have a problem but I am optimistic that we will see an improvement.

As you said, its a position that would hugely benefit the team by upgrading. Just a shame there aren't many options around. As someone else pointed out, outside the top 6, there aren't many decent full backs

As someone else pointed out, outside the top 6, there aren't many decent full backs Joe Rankin-Costello has performed with some aplomb for Blackburn. Jacob Greaves at Hull is a central defender by trade but has played at left-back in recent matches.He is good in the air, is aggressive and plays on the front foot.I recall his father Mark Greaves playing. Perry Ng of Cardiff is a right-back but is no stranger to playing at left-back and has also played at centre-half.He looks a natural defender who covers when the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch.

His refusal to press forward when he gets the ball is frustrating. He's ok defending although is often caught out. When we get the ball in an attacking scenario and the ball is passed to him he invariably turns back towards his own goal. Upgrade needed in my opinion.

For me he was defensively sound and occasionally got forward to support attacks, often with effect. It may be the England curse but for me he looks bereft of confidence, slower, less aware defensively and is not contributing much to attacks. It's almost as if he aged a decade and a half overnight. A very uninformed opinion of mine is that he relished his 'young kid with nothing to lose' status however became somewhat burdened with the expectation of being a first team starter on the peripheries of the national team. Feel free to rubbish as just an opinion from me.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Feel free to rubbish as just an opinion from me. Nope, nothing wrong with that interpretation. My own interpretation and I hope I am wrong is that he thinks he is better than he actually is. I remember reading that he was one of the guys that were doing the bare minimum during PVs training. Can’t really dwell on this though as it is speculation without first hand reference.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |
