[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 688178, member: 71826"] I think you're simplifying Tigs Man's argument (apologies if I'm misrepresenting you, TM), I don't read him as arguing entirely against playing players in different positions, but against an obsession with putting an established player in (out of position) over giving a chance to a new player who specialises in that position. Examples - Burrell to 13 was a good idea and worked; Brown on the wing wasn't and didn't; Barritt to 13 - I argued against it but he did pretty well, jury's still out as he didn't get any chance to attack. The point is, some work and some don't, it's a judgement call, but Lancaster seems to be going for this option as often as possible; he's making a lot of the judgement calls wrong. [/QUOTE]
