Now, I am sure this will have no agreement, but I think that Dan Harding was as good a left back as Adam Virgo is a right back!
here is my argument...
firstly, Adam Virgo didn't really overly impress until he was played out of positon and played up front! whereas Dan Harding was a hot prospect as soon as he came into the first team, and i think he was a good player, and certainly a key member of the side that survived in the Championship!
secondly, it is in my opinion harder to be a left back than a right back, especially at the level they were playing at.
There are many quality right midfielders and they are in greater supply than left midfielders, you only have to look at the national side to prove that! and therefore by the time all the top 20 sides have claimed the best left sided players (i.e. premiership), the standard has dropped by a great margin.
On the other hand there are many more better right midfielders and many apply their trade in the Championship, thus suggesting the standard of right midfielders in this division will be higher than those playing left midfield.
This is my reason to back up the fact it is harder to play left back than right back, predominantly in the championship, and it is for this reason i argue that Harding is as good a player as Virgo.
I know this has little relevance to anything at the moment, but me and my friends were discussing this the otherday and could not agree on it at all! just thought i would put it out to a larger debate!
