I also wondered this. Seemed a bit strange to me but then I wasn’t at Scunny to see him in action. Although you’d have thought Williams would be the spare right back?
He did well at full back, although there wasn’t much defending involved as he was playing as more of a winger. At the time I thought it was just a case of throwing more forwards on the pitch, but it sounds like he might be used here more often.
Yeah that’s why I assumed. I mean you don’t see many strikers turned into full backs, I could see him as a winger though.
Reuben Noble-Lazarus started off as a forward but filled the full back role more than once, if I remember. May have been in cameo appearances - it seems so long ago! Promising player who didn't fulfill his potential.
I believe you are correct. I think his actual position was on the wing so maybe that’s what Jacob will do too. We do have a better record of developing defenders than attackers so maybe it’s just natural progression by now.
