….it is a surprise we haven’t brought a FB through since Kenny. I don’t doubt the massive leap in standards but the skill set is such that you’d think we’d have at least back-up. I suppose we can also include Antonee Robinson who I said at the time we moved on much too quickly.
Athleticism, speed, attitude and quality in possession are key attributes which is why I like players who convert from more advanced positions (Tony Hibbert was a CM in an FA Youth Cup winning team). I thought Stan Mills looked the ideal type for a switch.
