It wasn't jackal's views on Scott's starting position I thought were unreasonable, I said the same myself, it was this:



SM did go through a period last season of playing players out of position for reasons I couldn't understand, but in my head I've chalked that down to experience and given him a clean slate for this season.

The reason he's playing Scott and Chicksen there, and Crowley deep, now is because he can't play his real first choice XI because of injuries and recruitment delays. Not because he's trying to catch sides out or because he likes messing with tactics. imo.
I hope you are right because it's frustrating watching Scott stuck out on the left contributing nothing and Chicksen passing backwards all the time.
