Makinson is a good player and does ok at full back, for me the main issue is twice last week he opted to throw a poor attempt at a cut out pass straight to the winger rather than a short ball to the centre which bombed 2 tries for us. That aside he is pretty solid and I have no issue with him playing there (although as soon as Lomax is back he will surely play at 1)
Makinson to the halves is a joke and anybody who thinks putting him there is a good move is surely a few sandwiches short of a picnic. As mentioned above, he doesnt seem to have the ability to pass a ball very well (a fundamental for a half back) and pace alone isnt just what we need to inject into the halves.

Was listening to Brown and he mentions that very point.
I mean the best players can pull these passes off, merely because they are the 'best players'. Makinson's passing game is ok, but nowhere near the standard where he can afford to try this, especially the last chance to Swift.
I'm confident that Lomax would have executed that pass far better or made a smarter pass choice, but it wasn't to be.
