Quote: morleys_deckchair "While Ratchford is a great player with the ball, he is very VERY poor defender.
People run past him like he isn't there, he gets easily out-muscled close to the line and he doesn't seem to read attacking plays like a full back should.
The question is, as a full back, does his quality with the ball, outweigh his inability to defend?'"
Tough question, cop out but I think it depends on who we are playing. Sides like Saints etc I wish we had an Hodgson type full back,infact I wish we could still have an Hodgson full back,does not mean I’m anti Ratchford just not a natural full back for me.
