Neither are as good as Austin.
Comparing Hinchy and Austin is odd as they simply do not play in the same position.

Edwards is slightly more comparable as when he has played he has generally been deployed in a 10 role. Edwards is better suited to a more traditional CM role, but Abbott and Palmer have been selected to play there.

If you are comparing Austin to anyone based on positions played this year, you are comparing him against Gordon, Tsaroulla, Jones and Jarvis. He is probably joint fourth or fifth choice there.

I actually think it?s a shame he wasn?t tried as a 10 as tactically Austin is superb and his movement is very good.

Im sad to see Austin go, but it is time to push one once again.
