    Absolutely. And I can completely understand why they do that. When you play 4 at the back you need all of them to be able to defend. Our centre halves can and our wingbacks can't.

    ‘Because he just isn’t’. Right.

    you’ve seen him play bit parts mostly in the wrong position after the back of a great last season, in a position where we’ve seen lots of players make the step up and now he ‘just isn’t’.

    It smacks of the same logic that made Killip useless based on……nothing. I think you’ll find that you would be wrong, but at least I’ve reasoning to it.

    I've been a little disappointed we havent seen him properly in his natural position, he's had plenty of rave reviews and seems very attack minded. Perhaps that's why he hasn't played there yet and we are working on his defensive side, though I'd suggest we also need to do that on Cotter & Okeefe

    Our centre halves can defend?

    Apparently yes, but this mornings chronicle makes a mockery of what Mr. Clarke said in last week's paper, that we had too many players. That guy is unbelievable

    We have too many players that aren’t good enough so he’s at least half right
