If you had a fb who put in a lot of crosses over the season - and they were not good ones - and so therefore he got no or very few assists - would that be good or bad?

Spence hasn't exactly found himself in the position to put in a "lot" of crosses....... And when he has it's been from an inverted position whilst playing on the wrong flank.

Charlie F said:
Do you not accept that if you fb who gets into advanced attacking - he should be effective re some assists and goals?
Not necessarily Spence - but any fb.

How many G&A is "acceptable" for a FB?

(And what are you basing those amounts upon?)

It's early days - he might get some goals and assists - in which case he is right for our system.
Are you saying whether he does or doesn't - it doesn't matter?

I think our system is a bit poxy (esp. what we do with our FBs); so I shan't be judging Spence's ability on the basis of whether he fits it.

His goal against Coventry helped keep Postecoglou in the job, guess for comparisons to Porro it doesn't count Airfix 😉

How do we know we won't have a different manager in the summer who plays with a back 3 and wing backs, which would suit Porro more so than now?

You know this answer make no sense right? Might as well say.. How do we know we won't employ is mum or dad as our new coach. These are assumptions we are all making, best guesses and opinions. But if it's reassuring none of the coaches we are currently linked with play with a back three as a matter of course.

Are we actually being linked with anyone at all yet?

I remember some bollocks about Alegri; but other than that isn't all the talk about Iraola, Frank & Terzic just fan chatter?

I just meant that it's probably a good idea to wait and see what happens with the current manager before we can start selecting fullbacks for the present system for next season.
