hopefully it will be hall

I hope not.

Like the kid a lot, he's got natural talent, but unless we come up some new defensive plays and he gains a whole shed load of confidence, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Actually, as I wrote that, I can see a role for Hall at full back.

It would require very defensively minded wingers (Hodgson can do that, not that effectively, but has good positional sense) and someone cheap.

Either way, Hall still has a lot of potential, he's a destructive runner in broken field and any player that can beat a man is worth keeping on.

He's twenty four years old, he reads the game well, I think he'll get better and go on to do a good job for us.

Hall isn't a fullback.

Well that's where he will be playing

Aye, that's why I'm trying to talk myself into the idea!

I foresee a few head in hands moments next year...

give the kid a chance i think he might surprise us all next year well i hope he does

attacking wise could be brilliant as he could pop up in the line wherever etc, if his confidence isn't shot by making a big balls up early on. maybe he could attack as a full back and defend elsewhere.....

Aye, but it'll be best to accept him for what he is. Tbf, he did reasonably well at stand-off - certainly better than I expected. Confidence and concentration have always been issues, but progress has been made with the first at least.
We were a bit thin in the backs this year, so I'd hope a wing/fullback is signed to replace McDonnell for depth's sake if nowt else. I think Latus does a decent job, but unless he kicks on he's a squad player really. No shame in that, of course.

How far is Sheriff off, obviusly he's a player youve taken care over and not rushed into first team.

Will he be the one?
