What about the argument that Nicky Clee is currently the best left back at the club?
Possibly true.
However, to my mind, that is a cause for concern rather than a testament to the manager's squad construction.
We've had all Summer to get this left full back vacancy sorted.
Will Doughty yet prove to be the answer?
I certainly hope so but I honestly don't know.
And I'm beginning to wonder if the manager knows either, to be honest.
Doughty has only played a full 90 minutes in one of our pre-season friendlies.
It's such a waste of Clee's creative talents to play him at left full back, in my view.
Plus we then invariably end up with Lawrie stuck out on the left wing, where he is far less effective.
