    Think its safe to say, Taylor has not set the heather alight as a LWB.
    He seems to me to be effective enough as a full back.
    Maybe Boli is more suited to LWB giving he has pace?? When league is wrapped up, would like to see Boli getting a run in a 3 5 2 and make a call in the summer.
    Hayes is adequate as a stopgap/impact type.
    Don't reckon MoEly has the pace to play wing back but good enough when a left back is playing behind him.

    So overall, maybe we are OK if 4 at the back but if NL wants to stick with 3 at the back, looks like we need to invest in a proper wing back in the summer and move out a few.

    A thought Danny Fox was a decent player in his brief time with us.

    At least we've got 2 (3 if you include Hayes) LBs. With EL Hamed being injured so much we've spent most of the season playing an 18 year old winger at RB - Frimpong is great going forward and think he'll be good for us in the future but not convinced he's a RB. We might need to look at RB as well in the summer.

    Anthony Ralston will be back from his loan...:fear: but yeah ideally Elhameds injury problems are behind him now and we get someone in to compete with him for the spot, I'd also like to see young Frimpong maybe pushed up to RW for a few games, would offer some competition to Forrest and maybe unearth a wee attacking gem.
