Not all wingers can play at wing-back. You must have a specific defensive brain,physical traits & mentality to play there. Pedro Neto has shown all of that in spades so far this season. Whilst contributing enough as the width,outlet & 4th attacking threat to complement JP Morgan.
After Chris Hughton was sacked in 2024, a five-man committee was tasked to find a new coach in three weeks. They wanted a proven winner with 15 years of coaching experience. They claimed there were over 500 applicants and ended up with Otto Addo. So forgive me if I don’t trust this all too familiar process.
