Quote: karetaker "There are always going to be players better or worse in a given position. In the case we talking about Dufty well maybe Field is better but I wouldn’t kick Dufty out right now, his defence is not the greatest but give him a gap and I’d back him against Field'"
I'd prefer Dufty to Field, I think defensively they are on a par , let's charitably say it isn't their best facet.
Speed wise they are on a par.
Where I prefer Dufty is as well as having that speed threat he can actually pass a ball unlike Field whose passing is terrible.
French is a better all round player but Wigan are shoe horning him into the side to accommodate Field, but French is the better full back but as Field cant pass or defend at half back you understand why. That alongside Harry Smiths atrocious goal kicking are their biggest short comings at the moment.
