the fact is that jay mcevely wasn't as bad as everyone thought, he was alright, but he did try to pass to extravagantly and he did give his all on the field which many players last season didn't. I am a bit worried about left back this season, moxey was worse than mceveley last season, started well but faded away badly, and roberts who at 30 years old could be over the hill tbh

Depends what left back you are, if he stays back and doesn't bomb forward like Moxey and Jay did age is no problemo and surely thats a bonus? We need to play Martin down the left tho to make the runs.
