Yes, my boy told me awhile back that he (Zinny) was a midfielder by trade but essentially too good to be left out yet not disciplined ("beefy" as Anaconda might say) enough to be trusted to hold the middle of the park together.Originally Posted by WES
we are much more stable at the back and keeping clean sheets.
Without any noticeable drop off in scoring goals, quite the opposite
Playing him at full-back is simply the best compromise anybody's come up with. Risk versus Reward and a' that.

True, but perhaps we've discovered that the risk is not needed as the other players are getting used to each other and/or playing at a higher level so we're scoring goals without the need for a risky left back.
Personally, red, I'm with George - let's get it right at the back

Decent work for our fourth. Should've trusted him earlier last season; he was a big part of the reason we won the January transfer window. Signed him because we didn't much fancy Rob Holding anymore but then we played Rob anyway

Surely that makes it even more important?
Good point.
In my defence, so to speak, I pinched that one from Sir I.V.A. Richards. Cricketers, see. What do they know about football.
