If I’m honest I think people went a bit overboard about o’briens performances at right back. He showed he was a good footballer but he had some very average games in my opinion, and people just got a bit giddy because he wasn’t ashley young and we were getting decent results. I’m not sure I’d like to see him there long term, I feel like it could be a bit like when Godfrey’s initial form at full back didn’t last, but obviously I’d love to be wrong.

Exactly. I see it as a Lescott type thing were he is Tarkowski’s long-term replacement, but gets more minutes under his belt before moving into the middle as James ages out.

So we get to carefully select the long-term right back while using this as a transitional building season, but take full advantage of the very strong defensive base we have.
