The point is surely that playing Ellis negates the need to swap and change players away from their most potent positions.Lofthouse Tiger wrote:If you think Ellis couldn’t believe his luck what does that tell you? I bet he thought it was Christmas when he was offered a 3 year deal.
Ellis before Roberts? Roberts is far more versatile and can cover 3 positions, Ellis can’t.
McShane at SH is better than Ellis and he would be very effective, maybe not as much as he is at 9 but still contributes massively. Gale, Truman, Roberts and McShane. Why do we need a 1 trick pony on a 3 year deal?
Ellis in the halves with McShane at hooker and Milner playing loose > McShane in the halves, Milner at Hooker and another forward coming in...
