You’ve spent the last couple of weeks saying Leo couldn’t play centre back as he didn’t have the build for it. What’s changed, has he grown since you last saw him?

He's tall enough slighter build than most for a centre back. I've only seen him twice yesterday defended well. You can't go on what it says for a players height I'd say yesterday BW looked just under 6ft.

It’s just you specifically said he wasn’t tall enough, yet now you say he is, just wondered what made you change your mind.

Can't remember it was his build I questioned.

He’s just over 6 foot at 184cm. McCart is 186cm and is a whopping 188cm

That’s 6.05, 6.1 and 6-1.5 in old money.

It’s as much about positioning and timing of the jump than height. Otherwise Hull wouldn’t be on loan at a team 16th in the national league north.

Humphreys is a big lad but his pace is what kept Ndyiae in his pocket yesterday

Said Leo isn't a central defender he's not got build or height.

Exactly, Hugill is only 5’11’ and look how many headers he won yesterday.

Sorry. Third players height is Leo.

Said don't go on what it says a players height is it said Taylor was 5ft 10! BW doesn't look 6ft to me just under that.
