No doubt plenty on here think Setterfield is a waste of space, but if you look at his opportunities, injuries, coach shenanigans etc. it's not a great development environment, by any measure. Averages nine games per season, never knows from one week to the next who the coach will be, whether he's in the seniors or the two's, what position he will play etc. Apart from injuries, he's been stuffed around by our club big time. Originally recruited as a big bodied inside / outside mid, and from memory, only Bolton played him there consistently. He needs continuity, and he needs the coach to back him for a solid block of games in one position, which he can make his own. Only after that can we judge him IMO. But I fear it might be too late for him.
