Personally I don't think he's been given a fair crack of the whip to prove his worth. A few games with Boring Ardley with a style of play that was so slow it was never going to suit Knights strengths and then wedding him in at right back. I can see him alongside Woots if he runs beyond him, either with a hoof over the top ! or timing his runs when Woots comes deep and plays it back into midfield Knights should be making late runs across the back four to push into space beyond them. This would negate the need for O'brien to make his late runs from deep exposing the midfield if the through ball is cut out for example Halifax. I think he could add another dimension to our attacking play and allow us to play through the middle instead of down the wings all the time ! If he is a genuine goal scorer perhaps get on the end of some of the lovely balls we put across the box !!?
just a thought ...
