2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[DanB90]

I've always liked him as a player. I'm a sucker for a bit of hard work, and it's always been obvious he's got a cracking left foot. It's also always good to have a set piece specialist in the team. So, for those reasons, I've always liked him.

However, I've had my misgivings. I felt he was too slow for the wing, though I do feel he could effectively operate as a wide midfielder, with a flying winger on the right, and an attacking full back behind him.

I also felt he was too one footed for the central role, but really happy to see him proving me wrong.

This was my thinking as well. Thought the defenders would be able to read what he was going to do too easily, with him only being able to use one half of his body.

The lack of pace defo isn’t as noticeable when he’s played through the middle though.
