What does "backing" him actually mean? It means you are blind to his deficiences and the damage he does to the side. No pace, no skill, no movement, often just stood with the defender, doesn't antipate anything. Weak as piss. And not the hard worker folk have him made out to be. Too many excuses being made for me.
A player who scores goals on a regular basis can be forgiven a series of ills. Bradshaw DOES NOT work hard. Well he does, he works hard at staying with his defender.
Good defender. Before criticising his long balls look around the pitch & see the options available to him, I’ve lost count of the amount of times he’s in possession & he’s holding on to it waiting on a player to show for the ball but it doesn’t happen so when he gets closed down he ends up having to go long. Lindsay’s about the last of our worries.
Not only is lindsay our most consistent CB, he is also the youngest and in his first season in the championship he has also had to play alongside at least four different CBs and formed good partnerships with both Pinnock and Jackson
