Yep no doubt. My point was purely hypothetical. That is that if Francis develops, who he could replace. Given Baguley is not aerobically gifted and Francis is fairly versatile, I think there is some flexibility as to where he could end up *assuming * he develops.
Not me. I think he looked horrible early but had a good 2017.
However I donāt think heās either quick or agile. Either way though, is he better than Francis in those factors? Maybe but Baguley is very much on the downslope and Francis the up.
Just so itās understood, I have in no way suggested Francis should replace Baguley. What I have suggested is that if Francis improves and starts to realise his potential, there are a number of players he could replace. Given Baguley is limited aerobically, heās in that group.
100% agree. Francis needs to improve to take Baguley position. Iāve tried to make more obvious my comments - that is that if Francis improves there are a number of players he could replace. If not, itās a mute point.
But he would never be playing Baguleyās role.
He might come into the side for Baguley and players shuffle around (eg. Gleeson playing on someone smaller), but that is about it
So whatās special about Baguleyās role that physically Francis canāt do? To highlight again, Iām not suggesting Francis comes in for Baguley. Francis has a long way to go. What I said was that Francis could take Baguley spot if Francis improves and given Baguley doesnāt add much aerobically.
