Yeah, this is where his recovery speed is such a weapon, not just for himself, but for the defence in general. I love Laird, but right now I think the right back berth is Bright's.

Reminds me of Kyle Walker a lot.

I had the exact same thought the other day.

Not trusted in possession and offers not much going forward, but few better at stopping a tricky winger and covering the defence.

Good to see him getting the plaudits he deserves at last, thought he had a strong finish to last season and has been outstanding so far this season.

Yes, agreed. I've probably said it too much, but I thought that he started to show his quality towards the end of last season, and this season, for me, he's first choice at right back.

I think we’ve got two decent RBs. For the games when we’re likely to be having to defend more we should be playing BOS. He played Scienza, who is arguably one of the best of his type in this league. well last night. I’d still start Laird in games when we need to be breaking teams down at home and are likely to be having more ball.
