Wigan exposed Connor’s lack of speed.
Wellens was slow but he had time to develop in that position. He also played in an exceptional team.

Looked a decent player when he was at Widnes , Not much on him though .

In Hodgson's interview he alluded to the fact that he thought Jake Connor had possibly found his position at full back, if that is what he was saying, and it's only my interpretation of what he said. Then, if we sign a young back up, that suggests he doesn't see Wynne as good enough.

doubt he has ever seen Wynne play so cant make a decision on fringe players until he sees them in training and action on the field

I agree, my point is that his appointment has probably been decided at least a couple of weeks, so I would have thought that IF we are making signings he would be aware and having his say. As I said, just my take on what he said in interview about Connor (Jake) at full back.

The ashall bolt signing may have been in the final stages, and Hodgson may have pulled it as he wants Jake at full back. Doesnt seem like a Hodgson signing to me.....who would you like to provide depth in the backs.....eerrrmmm get me Ashall-Bolt please
