Sounds like they're playing him as more a right sided CB in a back 3 than a right back

Don't try wriggling out of it now.
Five years you've been posting on here in the guise of a Brighton fan. FIVE YEARS. You've even given yourself the self proclaimed moniker of Lifelong Supporter for christs sake.....little did we know you were in fact an agent of our 43rd biggest football rivals Bristol City.

He's been rubbish for a few years, this shows Oscar was right to let him go

100%er but a very limited player who got outmuscled more than some would admit. Sadly it's not a surprise as Bristol City are a club where much better players can struggle. Dunk is a much better player IMHO.

Pace always his downfall and I don't think he will be getting quicker with age.he was the slowest in a back four for us that was hardly quick.

Complete liability at fullback. He has no pace, he can't get forward to support the attack, he can't cross a ball, and 1 on 1 against a pacey, tricky winger he is just an accident waiting to happen. Poyet recognised this and played him to his strengths at CB, where he was a complete revelation. Good positional sense and tackling ability, and despite a lack of height he won his fair share of aerial battles, just a player who relishes a battle against a physical forward. A VERY capable centreback, certainly at L1 level.
If O'Driscoll is trying to play him at rightback then more fool him, because he will indeed be absolute GASH there. Anywhere on the pitch other than centreback and he's like a fish up a tree.

O'Driscoll is not playing him anywhere Steve Cotterill is the manager.

Thats claptrap. Any time he was called upon he slotted straight into our back 4 comfortably, and our defensive record would bear that out. I was always quite happy to see him come on if Greer or Upson got crocked, and I thought he was a bit unlucky to lose his place as soon as GG got fit again. He'd done nothing to warrant getting dropped, just the fact that the captain was fit again meant it was inevitable I guess.
He was perfect cover though, and our squad is now weaker for his absence.

Very much so, we knew him and he knew us.
