When did he used to play further forward? He was always left back or left CB for both the U28’s and when we had the U23’s.
After the last few games I do think he should be played further forward. Took both of his goals well and isn’t afraid to run at players but defensively he hasn’t been great. He had a nightmare in the first half last night and he’s also had other games like that (Rotherham against Sadlier another one).Only problem atm is that we haven’t really got anyone else who can play LB because we need Rowe further forward with the players we have out injured.
I'd heard a lot of good reports about Ben Blythe, and last night was the first time I'd seen him.I thought he was really poor, and was relieved when he was subbed.
Horton doesn't have the movement on the ball to be a decent winger. Improving defensively and focusing on that will be more beneficial.

Needs to get on the weights and try and improve his explosiveness, you look at full backs now such as Reece James and Trent, absolute units!
