I agree with Jormungand's sentiment, having leader like Tobers alongside him keeping him in check could be the way forward. Tobers will be experienced enough (unlike Malloy) to read that the long ball will most likely bounce over Rubys head and be able to slot in behind to cover instead of attacking the ball also (like Malloy).
    Id be delighted to be proven wrong - wouldnt be the first time - but i just dont see it.

    I would also point out that Tobers is 24 - same as Rubezic - yet hes supposed to provide the experience and leadership Ruby needs to play alongside him & cover his mistakes?

    Kind of makes my point.

    Tobers is also right footed, same as Ruby, so its not a good balance having those two together.

    If anything, the plan must be for Tobers to play alongside the left footed Molloy (granted not right now), so if anything Tobers will replace Ruby, not play with him.

    If I was betting though, Id bet that we will be getting another left sided CH in due course too. Maybe not this window, but certainly in the summer.

    Just dont see Ruby as Jimmys type of player tbh - clocks ticking for him IMO.
