We obviously don't know the full story with Spence, but there are rumours flying around about him having some disciplinary issues.Astonishing really spence hasnt played more games and earlier. Good player and prefer him at right back to porro.
I'm wondering if his lack of game time is linked to that as, so far, his performances have been nothing short of excellent.
If he's had a bit of 'tough love' that has helped him to iron that out, then kudos to both the manager and player. The manager for applying that, and the player for responding to it.
I've posted before that I had a mentor in Oz, who did pretty much the same with me when my levels weren't where they needed to be. It forced me to re-evaluate and, ultimately, took my levels up significantly.
I fully suspect that Spence will view AP in the same way, as he looks as though he's a level above what he was when we bought him.
