    Correct Offy. That’s in addition to his unwillingness to track back, however that could be a distant memory?

    I’m with Hughes on this one Idle. I’m using the Wright comparison to show polar opposites.

    Easily bullied
    Doesn’t like a tackle
    Tracking back is not his forte
    Running down dead ends and losing the ball all to easily.

    Surely that’s why Wright came in and was first choice for that role.

    Thats how i saw Young in the game time he got. Great right foot, probably the best shooter in the squad, but all his other attributes were average at best. Slower than most full backs which didn't help his tracking back (also see Dion Periara). If you can cross like Nicky Summerbee you can get away with being slow but you need those other attributes to your game like physicality.

    Spot on. The merits were outweighed sadly.

    Slow? He is quicker than most in our squad. Watch his goals as he outpaces defenders before unleashing a blistering shot. Single minded yes. But never slow
