I think a lot of teams wingers do come inside when defending, I think it is a trait that is widespread.
I seem to remember a while ago, maybe 2 seasons ago, on Boots n All where Paul Cullen was summarising on defensive lines. I think ironically it was our game.
He said that when players are defending, you have two at marker and a lot of the time he was seeing where if the centre for example had made a tackle, and was in at the play the ball or at marker he was out of his centre position. I f the rest of the line didn't adjust accordingly then this left a hole, which the attacker would run straight through or sometimes this causes the winger to come inside, and again leaving the hole out wide.
It is Mathers job to call pull left or right as and when.
This used to happen under Kear's regime and could well be still happening now
Hence the upgrade! Anything can happen to a player regarding injuries, offer him more and he may sign. Bird in the hand and all that. What is for certain is that if we don't offer an increase he won't sign a new extended contract!
