Good question, although I have pretty high hopes for Tom Makinson in time.

Possibly. He's not threatening to rise above 'solid' as yet though. Despite his apparent pace, he doesn't seem to be a threat to the opposition.

I think some have read this and not got the gist. I'm pretty sure Northampton was trying to be sarcastic about some peoples desperate pleas for yet another speedy winger. I don't think he was endorsing it....

Wasn't Brotherton the one that many people were saying should have gone straight into the team last year because of his pace too?

Les Jones.

He was also big and the reports often had him scoring from high kicks. He must have had some serious holes in his game to detract from his plus points.

To be honest ,Wing is probably the one position that you can get through on natural ability and speed, theres probbaly less coaching goes into 'producing' a winger than any other position...Martin Offiah being the obvious example

It might help if he got some bloody ball. Saints aren't exactly great at setting the right hand wingers free at present are they?

A sign of a lack of confidence in Shenton perhaps? The ball isn't going down that side at all.

i think its more to do with J-Lo and Lance only passing the ball one way

Absolutely they were which was just the point I was making - they're the same people who think Makinson is a better winger than Meli generally. Somehow the eye-rolling smiley doesn't even begin to cover it.
