Quote: 4foxsake "If you think of it this way Wood has come into the squad as a back up 9 and half back. In that sense he's probably a better option than howarth and has therefore improved the squad.
I'm not convinced on the signing of Grix I feel it was unnecessary as there's already few players in the squad that can cover full back and there's other areas of the team we need to strengthen.'"
I wasn't convinced at first tbh but the more I thought about it,I realised what he'd bring to the side and it's an improvement on last year, Plus he'll be a good back up player in a few positions if necessary, particularly at FB.
Ateotd who have we in the side that can competently cover F/B other than BJB but he'll be playing wing. We had Hall and Tansey that covered last year but they've gone and Grix is a better FB then they are. Having a guy who can do a decent job at F/B will take the pressure off Jowitt, who look spent towards the end of last year. Which wasn't a surprise to say the lad isn't even 20 and played 24 games.
