    Hinkel was dropped vs Motherwell for an abysmal performance against Ross County, he knows how good he is and Lenny will get it out of him.

    I thought he made a real difference.

    Don't want to oversimplify - but we were 2-1 down, then Hinkel and Razz came on, and we won 3-2

    I am genuinely amazed at some fans saying Hinkel isn't good enough, are these people watching the same football matches I am?

    Yes he is guilty of sleeping at the back post now and again but in terms of quality he is a country mile above Wilson and Caddis, both of whom will never be a long term solution at right back. The difference when Hinkel came on yesterday was so vivid you would have to be talking out of your rear end to suggest Wilson is the better full back.

    Bang on.

    You can only pick a handful of RB's who are better than him in Britain, in my opinion.

    I'm equally amazed at how people rate him so highly. I honestly don't get it with Hinkel. His best attribute is his attacking, and that's not good enough for a defender. I just don't rate the guy too much.

    In all honesty, the highest rated full backs in the world are more comfortable going forward than defending. I think that's a sign of the modern game and how it's changed.

    Hinkel is about as good as you will get to come to the SPL. An OK defender and an excellent attacker. Anyone who thinks Caddis is better must have missed him completely blow his chances on his run there earlier this season. Caddis is an appalling defender and a circus midget to boot. Wilson was once an excellent RB, LB and even could play CM. He had really serious pace at one time too. WGS says he thought he had the technical ability to play in the EPL and he was really excellent for us at first. However he has been ruined by injuries, has lost much of his pace and lost years of development.

    The highest rated full back's in the world are excellent at both, otherwise they wouldn't be the highest rated full back's.

    Highest rated full back's are tagged that because of how they defend, with the added attacking style thrown in for good measure.

    but theyre all better at going forward , hinkels decent at defending not perfect but hes excellent at goin forward and making runs .

    look at dani alves at barca great goin forward but as far as defending goes he's nowhere near other top full backs but you'd still say hes top class

    I wouldn't say they are better at going forward than defending. I'd say they were class defenders who were good going forward. Just like centre half's are not rated on how they are scoring from corners, or strikers are rated on how they defend corners.

    Players are rated on how they perform in their chosen position, and other abilities are added bonus.

    Maicon is a very good example. He's fantastic going forward and not too hot in defence, yet he's very highly rated. I think some, not all, of the best modern day full backs are more comfortable going forward.
