Freeman Article

Just seen this article on The Stir from James Shield speaking with Kieron Freeman. I think the attitude that Freeman's showed is exemplary and is what has made him a firm favourite in the eyes of many fans

I didn't for a good while but he's worked on his game and he's come good.
Still say in a flat back four he would be found wanting.

Agree, Freeman, Stevens and Baldock are NOT the best at defending, so there is better out there playing in a flat back 4.

However Wilder know that all 3 of these defenders are excellent getting forward and make excellent wing backs. Wilder plays to players strengths enabling them to look better than they actually are. Sign of a great manager.

Hence why Freeman, Stevens and Baldock look so good playing 3-5-2.
Wilders even got centre backs who are mobile and comfortable filling in as full back
So Stevens and Baldock are encouraged to get forward and if they get caught up field then we have centre backs temporarily covering their position.

All three in our current formation are sound agreed
