I see what you are saying and there is merit. However is that not what Boxall is on the books for?

To be honest, I thought he was a disaster at fullback last year apart from the first game or two where he had a surprise factor.  In the last 5 games teams just waited until he pushed up and inevitably gave the ball away then counter attacked down that side.  I am still far from convinced by him I have to say because I've not seen him have a good game at CB

I really do wonder what we expect to be different if we go into the season with the same defence

What games were you watching? The guy, on the whole, did great at fullback considering it isn't his natural position. One of our best (not saying much)

Of course, he isn't a long term solution and I hope he isn't being viewed as such.
