    A fullback who wins 83% of tackles? I'll take that

    Fair call.

    According to Opta, Grant has 3 less successful crosses than Hoffman and his accuracy is 10% less than Jason as well. H

    Rhyan has 5 more tackles to his name, but at a 13% lower success rate. Grant also has a huge amount of interceptions (39 compared to 17).

    Not saying Grant isn't a good fullback - just think Hoffman and a few other of our players don't get enough credit

    Says a lot that Geria Risdon Grant are talked about as possible NT players.


    Fullback to me is a specialist position

    Football coaches in this country treat it more as an after thought.


    How many blokes get dumped into Left or right back by coaches trying to plug after ****ing hole.

    Razzler, Dpuzzle, Tarekat, Cowburn Hoffman etc Just at our club alone


    Even have the ridiculous scenario where we don't sign after looking left back for a year or two

    Problem is Hoffman is technically limited so his passing accuracy is atrocious and he gives the ball away far too much.....

    Hoffman passing accuracy - 76.5% and In opposition half - 67.1%
    Grant passing accuracy - 68.3% and In opposition half - 59.2%

    Grant kills him in successful dribbles - 13 to 3. I would argue that with the exception of last night's match, Hoffman hadn't been instructed to overlap Hoole. (And even when he did do it last night, the option was largely ignored.)

    *** DISCLAIMER ***

    I've just noticed that Hoffman's stats aren't including any accrued last night. May alter the stats slightly

    OK... But it does NOT look like it when watching these 2 play! But if that's what stats says then fair enough and we'll prob sign him for another 2 years...

    I take your point - Grant/Risdon/Geria are all more attack-minded fullbacks. It's easier to see the work they do to support offensive movements.

    As with most positions (outside of centre-halves and Goalkeepers) the defensive workload often goes un-noticed

    lol, Can you imagine us with community ownership and deciding on recruitment. It will be like this thread. shitfitenite.

    Still, if the club took some ideas from here and acted we'd be higher up the table, full on decent managers in here.
