Rafferty

[PNEJack]

Credit to the lad, really impressed under his first real spell in the side albeit in the wrong position. Great mentality to be out of the first time with not much of a chance until now and coming in to the side and being really solid, much more confident with him as a player than I was at the start of the season

agree solid performance, his cross-field ball set up the second

Be interesting to see who Alex picks at RB when Hughes is fit again

Be interesting who he picks at left-back.

interesting? fisher looked sound today ?

It will be Hughes. You don't drop the player who was, defensively, the best Left Back in the league last season for a right footed player. It's all about balance.

Personally I think his final ball in consistently better than Fisher's and if he can replicate his LB form on his natural side he edges it for me.

Fisher is sound. He is very clever and gets in good positions going forward but his final ball is crap.

hmmmm kinda agree, the ball on the floor for the tap in aside 😉

It was better today.

 

[paddysr]

It was better today.

It was but the positions he gets himself in he should be picking up 5 or 6 assists a season at least. I like Fisher but that's the one part of his game that I feel is lacking.

I think Fisher is close to a 1 game ban, due to his yellow cards that he has already picked up.

Deserves a song

4th choice right back

Last season Fisher had the best pass into the box completion % of any full back in the league.

Rafferty has done very well at left back so every credit, but it's Fisher every day of the week for me.

I think it shows that before people start judging players for the odd appearance here and there you need to give them a solid run of games to be able to judge them properly

He is proving himself to be a solid back up full back and much more reliable than Calum Woods who ultimately he was brought in to replace.

If we keep winning, picking up points and keep clean sheets there is no need for change!
Is Rafa really a right back, I am sure he is a left back, who would notice the difference?

Rafferty really looked the real deal. All round it looks like a pretty decent squad.
