In fairness to Brown Shoes, he's making the absolute best of an undoubted injury crisis. Young players are constantly rotated (position wise) around to teach them discipline, perspective and overall understanding of the game (which also will help his awareness of other playersP. Those arguing about world class players being played out of their "natural position" need look no further than Schweinsteiger's early career out wide. Now, given that we clearly lack wide players (fit/developed ones anyway), and that naismith benefits greatly
from confidence afforded to him when he plays in behind, I'd be quite happy to support this seeming "mismatch" during this crucial stage of Ross's development.
