Just struggling playing in a different position for a different manager.
That’s all there is to it I think.

I remember Billy's boots in Roy of the Rovers comics, he taught himself to use his weaker foot by training with a slipper on his good foot.
I used to spend hours kicking a ball at the wall with my dodgy left peg to get it serviceable, surely he's done something similar in his football life?
I will email Moyes and the coaching staff immediately.

I used to play one-two’s with the washing line with my weaker foot from about the age of 6.
I ended up a proper two-footed player after that.

I think the levels have gone up around him, and his deficiencies are more pronounced as a result of it.
He could get by coasting in a Dyche team, cos he had a nice left foot and the football was so turgid that he occasionally did something nice and made an impression.
But in a team trying to play football he suddenly looks quite ordinary, with no real standout ability, next to accomplished technical players.

I kept switching to my weaker foot for hours on end in my youth, but it turned out I just have two weak feet.

To be fair I think he could be really good for us with these new players around him. He's got decent ability to play a pass but he's not a player who is explosive enough to start sporadically or use as regular sub. He's always seemed that type that needs game to find consistency and he's probably for the first time, unlikely to find that here.

Surely someone like Leeds fancy taking a punt on him? Would sell him as a bundle to them with Beto.

I don’t think we should be selling any more players at this stage.

Listening to a Moyes interview about some players who want to leave, made me think of McNeil and Beto. Well only let them go if we have a loan replacement lined up IMO.

Has Dwizzy been linked with anyone? I know there are rumours of Leeds and clubs in Serie A being in for Beto, but Dwizzy?

Wrexham would be a class move for him

Ridiculous he's obviously a good premier league player

In the past, on occasion, yes.
We’ve seen very little of that in recent weeks/months. Preseason he was well off it.

We'd probably have been relegated without him. 1 of our best players at an awful time for the club. Now apparently he should go to Wrexham probably on a quarter of the wages who are right down the bottom of the league below.
