My point is more that, if we are to have a mature leader in the backline (and I acknowledge that Daisy can play elsewhere as, perhaps, can Alex), who should we prefer? I'm leaning towards Alex, because of his example of ruthlessness and the comments from Marchbank as to his value.
BD, thanks for the clarification, but I got your position the first time round, which I did not express very well in my previous post. My bad.
If a choice must exist between the two, then you would have to say based on form and match day effectiveness, Alex would have to get the nod. So I definitely agree with you.
Whether he keeps getting games and keeps showing good form only time will tell. But if both these things happen then it's safe to say that we have both a very good player and a new cult hero on our hands. No bad thing in my book.
