Snoddy as an "inside-out" winger

this is by far my biggest gripe with Hughton and it really bugs me. I have no problem with inverted wingers per se (there must be a reason they are the current fad) but we just don't have players who seem well-suited to it.

Snoddy is essentially quite a simple player to analyse - he works hard and has a very good delivery with his left foot. In footballing style sense that reminds me most of Beckham. In a similar way I can't help but think Snoddy would be best utilised as a left-sided Beckham - get the ball out wide, don't try to beat your man, just shift it to your good foot and whip it in early.

Playing on the right he never really gets to use his main footballing weapon, his left footed delivery. He has played on the right ever since we acquired him so I'm assuming that's where he played at Leeds? Just seems very bizarre...
