If you are referring to me I said he looked "ropey" in pre-season

and I stand by that. He had just been given a fairly torrid time by that German team we played away in pre-season when i said it. he's looked ropey for much of the season as well and ultimately I think he just gets done for pace too easily. i am happy to see the emergence of Lewis as i think he is a better player who gives us far more balance.

In fairness, however, Husband did improve quite a lot during the run in the side he had leading up to the Arsenal game to the extent that he looks like he could be adequate back up at left back if he's 100% fit.
