Scott malone is considered the best left back in the championship. He doesnt actually play left back but wing back. However it does bring into question the decision to offliad him, particularly since at the time we were moving to a 352 system under Trollope were wing backs are a pre requisite. £100 k slade paid for him
Malone was a good player. Better than Richards IMO.
Has to be said though, that side doesn't look that great to me.
I work with a Fulham fan who reckons he's a bit of a fans' favourite down there. Didn't see that coming tbh.
Why do they release these so early? If Zohore keeps up his current form til the end of the season he'd walk into the team of the season.
Zohore gives you more than goals. And he's scoring at a similar rate to this three now anyway..
For some reason people didn't rate Malone when he was here but I always rated him. Zohore hasn't had a full season likewise Bamba who is as good as any other defender in the league
I wouldn't swap Richards for Malone and I wouldn't start Malone ahead of Bennett.
Now playing second fiddle to their 16 year old wonderkid. How Russ played him in front of a premier league regular and Brazilian International I will never comprehend. His FA Cup performance against Shrewsbury was abject. Also this season in the cup against Spurs, he was the worst player on the field.
Very week defensively and couldn't pass five yards. In a word garbage. League 1 player, Olly couldn't wait to bin him at Millwall but Russ outbid Dortmund for him apparently.
[QUOTE=Rjk;4728509]He's played 32 times this season, with 4 goals and 5 assists. Not a bad effort for someone who apparently can't get in a side.
Recently he has rotated with Sessegnon and invariably is substituted. He will eventually find his level along with Revell, Doyle and O'Keefe etc.
