Should Shenton be dropped to the reserves for a bit ? : Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:14 pm  

I'm a big fan of Shenton, and thought he was a good signing. But he's wasting a jersey at the moment. Weak defence, and no threat in attack. Would a spell in the reserves help boost his confidence playing against weaker opposition, while at the same time reminding him that he needs to shape up to keep his spot ?

Didn't do Ade any harm.

I'm starting to think it may be what he, and the team needs. But can we do it with the injuries we have at the moment?

Once Wheeler gets back fit, i can see Shenton being moved onto the wing rather than be dropped.

Physically he is more of a modern day winger than a centre, in that he possesses the height to deal with kicks and sufficient pace to finish moves off.
At centre however i feel he lacks the strength and guile to cause defenders too many problems.
It says a lot for me when 18 year old Josh Jones looks more like the real deal at present than Shenton.
