I tend to agree. He is good on the ball, pretty quick and can support the attack, but defending isn't his strongest point.For me Phillips has more potential as a midfield player than a right back, he's okay on the ball and going forward but certainly not the best defender, I would give him a years contract extension but that depends on what the likes of Fleck does.
He's come back in much stronger I think he's top end league 1 standard
Inexperienced player who has improved the more games he has played. Doesn't go diving in 1/2 as much now and is staying on his feet when making tackles. Worth another year to see if he progress' s.
For me he's been playing out of position his entire career.
yesterday confirmed to me that we should NOT keep him
hes always looking to go sideways or backwards with his passing
he doesnt like to take man on via dribbling
he loves to commit to tackles. sometimes they come off and sometimes hes left stranded. too risky
he still makes rash challenges and does not think about where he is on the pitch.
lets get someone else in
passing point i can accept.
but if hes not fast enough to take on a man then we can clearly do better in that regard
and few times reid left him for dead yesterday so his tackling is not cute enough!
and finnaly he mistackled a player right on edge of box again, hes not learning fast enough
if TM keeps him fair enough but i dont think hes what we need to aim for promotion
But isn't that like saying I'd rather have Professor Stephen Hawking at right back?Definitely worth a new deal. Very harshly treated by Mowbray this season. I'd rather have him at right back than Ricketts.
Entire career? He's 22 and played about 50 games!!
Surely we can do better than him?
