If we'd have defended like that I'm sure questions would have been raised, but that's another issue.

Had Tanner, or anyone else, gone on instead of him, would he have done the same? I say Tanner as the player in the most similar position, nothing else intended. I'm not sure. I don't think it was part of the instructions given to O'Dowda, but he had enough of a footballing brain to get himself in the right positions and a knack for finding space.

Could he even do a job up front for us, or am I totally overthinking things?
He has certainly been wasted at wing back/full back in the past. Far more effective further forward.
