[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1093348, member: 59968"] Dingwall is a very good player. Unfortunately for him, he’s a strong all rounder but lacking an obvious point of difference which puts him at a disadvantage in comparison to players with a clearer x-factor. If Farrell is at 12, the 13 ideally needs power (Tuilagi) or pace/footwork (Marchant). We’ve seen that picking Farrell and Slade together at centre lacks punch and while Slade and Dingwall are quite different players, I think it would ultimately present a similar problem. They’re just not enough of a foil for Farrell. Dingwall reminds me a bit of a more skilful Chris Harris. He’s a very good defender and more capable in attack than Harris IMO. I’d back him as a test player, I just don’t see where he fits in our current midfield set up unless he is the 12. [/QUOTE]
