Full Back
Good enough to play 90 minutes against 2 of the sides promoted last season but not good enough to play against Scunthorpe or Gillingham.
Play him or loan him out

There was a suggestion yesterday that he is being tried as a RB/RWB by Sunderland and England because they don't believe he is big enough to play in central midfield.Being played as a right back suggests hes not as good in midfield as people think he is tbf like
"that Ugly Longstaff kid" as opposed to the handsome Longstaff kid?There was a suggestion yesterday that he is being tried as a RB/RWB by Sunderland and England because they don't believe he is big enough to play in central midfield.
If that's true, then it's a terribly old-fashioned and very British view that short or slight players cannot "handle" central midfield
Every time I've seen the kid play he's looked calm and assured on the ball and can handle himself. He ran rings around that ugly Longstaff kid that the mags are all wanking over in the CT match last year
#UglierLooked composed against Grimsby in the game the day Ross was sacked. Ross involved a lot of youth players last season, PP only involved Benji.
I really expected Mumba, Patterson & Taylor to feature in the last 3 games. Especially the keeper as we might need him if Burge gets injured again and Jmc stays shite. I'd rather he got his debut vs Scunny than Coventry or Blackpool

5ft6Seems like something Sunderland would do.
Kante is obviously massive but must just comes across small on tele.
I was being sarcastic.5ft6
Taylor wasn't very good against grimsby mindAnyone who's watched the U23's, what are your thoughts on Patterson & Taylor?
Last night seemed like the perfect opportunity for 20 year old Taylor to be tried with Baldwin away on loan, Flanagan away on international duty, Ozturk injured & Willis carrying an injury?
What do we do with diamond hes clearly a good player but if he doesn't get a chance this season it will get even harder for him to get an opportunity.He isnt good enough right now, every u23 game I have watched this year he has been poor. The only two with a chance right now will be Diamond and Patterson.

Its not a new positionThis. One thing that struck me was his calmness on the ball and ability to keep possession. I'd hate to think that our staff aren't working with this as opposed to finding weaknesses and pigeon holing him in a new position.
Then looked completely out of his depth against Luton. Kid has a chance but probably a reason he hasnt been considered since despite us being weak in that position for 18 months.Didn't look a jot out of place when we beat since-promoted Charlton over a year ago. Be surprised if he's got worse since but then this is Sunderland.
Hes out on loan marra....Harrogate I think...What do we do with diamond hes clearly a good player but if he doesn't get a chance this season it will get even harder for him to get an opportunity.
