I can't think of many great left backs that are around at the moment, certainly not outside the big six. Antonee Robinson at Fulham seems to be having a strong season and Estupiñán at Brighton has received plaudits. Other than that I've often seen full-backs as one of the weaker areas of many teams. If you don't have a big budget I guess left back is not a priority. Get a left back who can defend and attack well and within 12 months they are at a big 6 club.

That's basically my longwinded way of saying Mitchell is probably good enough for us, but he does need competition, plus a few times in the last couple of years he has looked knackered. If none of the U21 players are considered good enough to step up then we need someone new for next season.

This is so kind of you.Your sentiments are very much appreciated.Thank so ever so much.

Heavens to Betsy!
I clearly had Leicester on my mind after receiving a message about the appointment of Dean Smith !
Perhaps I attribute my culpability to my medication!
I have corrected my 'Faux pas'.

I agree with EddieMac.

He is a very decent left back and to get anyone with the experience he has got now would cost millions.

Lets encourage the youngsters and we will reap the rewards.

He’s unfortunately I think a ball watcher. Guehi could possibly get him out of that by screaming at him but I’m not sure he always has the time to help out. I’ve lost count of the number of times he loses someone at his post. Others have suggested that moving into the middle to support the centre half is what he is trained to do but I’m not convinced, I just think it’s poor awareness. If you watch the body position of all great full backs they have an eye on what’s in front and another on who is coming onto the far post from midfield or the wing.

I reckon he’s just about adequate at this standard but I’d like to see an upgrade and hope that would encourage Mitchell to improve in the background.

I think the idea (lets not call it a plan) was to blag it this season and blood Adamarola next season after a loan spell in the Championship. Well the loan spell fell apart but I think he's still playing well albeit at a junior level.
Re Tyrick he's improved the last two games. As somebody has said, poor at the back post but seems to like Roy's preference for full backs to defend narrow - around the edge of the 18 yard box. Not a fan of that myself but that's probably why I have no management credentials.
