was it a case of needs must? Earl at Bolton; Hughes & Fisher not risked....?He played left full back against Hull in the League Cup. He must have shown something in training to make Neil pick him as a left back and as I recall, despite being out of position, he did OK.
As a right winger with pace he might have some idea what a LB does ?
We did ok that night UNTIL Bowen came on and they got 2 late goals ( had JG gone off by then ??).
