JLT game 3

[Jack Burton]

re: Weitering forward or back.....was in the back only camp but now I want him groomed as a key forward....we have enough backs and he is too talented not to be played forward IMO. Finds space and can work up the ground as well as be a marking target.....no brainer that he has to play forward in a team devoid of Forwards with know how..

This is exactly the message I got from Bolton's recent press conference. I expect he will play almost exclusively key forward in 2019 and beyond. But we don't want to throw him under the bus too soon, especially the way we bring the ball inside 50 at the moment. Need to build a competitive midfield first
