I wouldn't say it's a priority by any means and there's no sense replacing him unless Robins knows it's guaranteed he can bring in better. I like Mason and genuinely at the beginning of last season I thought he was potentially a shoe in for Player of the Season. But he needs to accept that on probably most occasions, Robins might consider Giles as the better option due to his preferred system. Something which I think he struggled with last season confidence and attitude-wise. He's young so that's hardly inexcusable.
Whilst another LB may not be brought in, we may bring in a left sided CB who can also play LB. Could be why (if it's true) we enquired about the possibility of loaning in Panzo, as he can play in both positions I believe. Although then again with Sheaf potentially coming in, or at least someone of his ilk who can play both CDM and CB, Robins may no longer be pursuing a versatile CB who can also slot into LB. We'll certainly find out over the coming weeks anyway.
