Bit of disrespect shown to our dual premiership hero and B&F winner in this thread.
Short’s move to the midfield last year was the catalyst that kick-started our season. The additions of Taranto and Hopper just means Short can focus even more on provide outside run and carry in the midfield and less of what he’s not so good at (contested ball).
Great midfields are multidimensional and deep. We now have a good mixture of inside midfielders (Hopper, Cotchin, Nankervis), outside midfielders (Short, Bolton, Sonsie) and those that do both (Taranto, Martin, Graham). With that combination of players we should be able to keep the heat on the opposition all game and Short is a key part of that.
