SIJ

[ColliersWoodBaggie]

He's left footed and was playing on the left so did fairly well. Whereas Mason..........

He’s a decent young player that was played out of position, and because he is on loan from Villa he gets way ott criticism.

Evidence for the prosecution is Leicester’s winning goal. He may not have been playing as a LWB that game but he was on that side, and way too deep to challenge for the cross as it fell to their player. Not disputing he had a good game v boro, btw.

Whilst his output for us has been unquestionably poor, I am a bit conflicted here.

In his very first interview after signing he said he was a left wing back and not once has he played there, has he even been played wide left?

We now have a manager who appears to favour a system with wing backs and we only have Styles to play out there (new signings pending), part of me wants to see what SIJ could do playing in his natural position. He isn't, wasn't and never should have been the replacement for Fellows.

The real issue here is that we shouldn't, under any circumstances be taking charity from the Villa.

Playing in his natural position you say, well I never.

One swallow does not a summer make. Yes, it was his best game so far (not a high bar though, eh?) and, yes, in his preferred position but also playing against a former team which as we all know can act as a performance enhancer. Let's see if he can replicate it over a few games. I'd be delighted if he has a storming second half of the season, but I'm very sceptical.
