We have been utter dogger in both full back positions all season long. If Mattock had been good enough then the signing of Purrington would not have been necessary. Joe will leave at the end of the season and I am not sure anyone in league 1 will take him. I suspect if he is fit, he will end up in league 2 at best where I wish him all the best.

I don't think Mattock is good enough for championship and I understand why Purrington was put in some games but I just thought Mattock would have had a better game against Villa especially pushing forward
