Now Luke Young has his say…

[TimTheVillain]

How often did he play at right back ?

Why does that matter? He plays where he's picked and in any case he showed on Sunday that he's more than comfortable with his left foot.

He's a right back who can use his left foot on occasions.

Have you ever attacked a left back who's right footed ?

He's a full back. He can play either side. His best performances for us have been at left back.

Interesting to see you still rabidly defending the speccy one, VD, despite him having shat all over us and leaving us in the current shambles. It means at the very least you mean it despite being gigantically wrong

Although Young scored the goal yesterday, and he did take it well, I thought he had a bit of a shocker with Pienaar and Baines coming at him. You could equally say that Cuellar would have been more defensively sound. Why wouldn't Cuellar have finished Lukes chance anyway? How can you prove it?

In fairness Albrighton struggled to give him any sort of protection particularly in the first half where he was caught on his heels on a few occasions. I do think defensively Cuellar is a better player even when playing at right back, but Young gives better support going forwards.

It was in home games that Cuellar's limitations were more exposed. He helped make us a solid unit away from home.

Sorry but that's bollo... nonsense,  to try and back your once again all too obviously dubious stats.
I doubt Ashley Cole would be as effective playing on the right, nor would he be happy about it.  Luke wasn't selected in his natural or preferred position for a lot more games than you quote and he wasnt given any good reason for that.  In fact he was only put in at LB because O'Neill decided he liked Shorey even less, and had failed to secure adequate cover in that position prior to signing Warnock.

Good point. Then why didn't he pick him at left back ahead of a player who is less solid defensively and who's form had dropped off alarmingly?

Think having Luke Young now staying. Is like a new signing .......... And Sunday proved he is as good as any RB in the premiere League ....

I was a right footed left back for years.

I know, without fear of contradiction, that if Luke Young had played every game then some people would have found another player to champion their cause of the great wasted talent. It happens at every club under every manager.

How did that go, who you playing for these days?

Thing is, though, the ostracised player seem to be quite a feature under MON towards the end.

Shit hot, one of the finest ever seen in the Redditch & South Warwickshire Combination League.

Right footed left backs should be banned from all forms of the game, they deprive hard working naturally left footed players the chance of a game.

You never hear of players having a sweet right foot do you.
