My favourite system.
To make it work, the wing backs need skill/speed/stamina.

Nail, head, hit square full on.

Ellis is a decent defender at this level, and clearly has the ability to probably play higher, but he needs a lot of work. Hopefully Taylor will be the man to do that. He looks good but prone to mistakes and errors which need working out of his current game. If he can improve on those areas then I think we have a very good player on our books. As it stands though I would play Robbo and Saah as clearly Saah has been brought in to replace Branno, and given Robbo's performances towards the end of the season, see no reason dropping him. Hopefully that will make Ellis strive to improve and provide a challenge for the CB spots
