I would too, but Price favoured Ashton at FB last week, so assume we'll see the same again if Ratchford is to be used elsewhere.

Personally if Thewlis is seen as our future full back, he should play there whenever possible.

Exactly, it baffled me.

I think we have seen enough this year to know you'd get the better performance from each of them, the other way around

I feel bad for matt Davis, I knew on Saturday something bad had happened by the way he was holding his arm, like he'd been bitten by a snake or something.

Yes, I was sat near him when he came off, he seemed to say straight away the bicep had come away from the tendon. Shame for him, he’s come on really well, might give an opportunity to Longstaff in the playoffs?

Sad to say but Thewlis is much better at ball control & safer at the back & Ashton is no doubt a better winger than Thewlis.
Strange selection by Mr Price.

Hilly, Philly and Coopy are back which is good news. Devastating for “Nuggety” Matt Davis. (I’m going to keep using it till it catches on).

if i may, a friends of mine coined the term 'squat people' upon matt davis arrival, usually shouted whenever he or philbin are running the ball in.

i want to say there was someone else as well, but whoever it was evades me.

I agree with you about Thewlis` position long term is fullback.

It looks like Price has decided that Thewlis will play left wing for us for the rest of this season (Unless he changes his mind about Lineham) and that is why he is leaving him on the wing?
