Young is the least of our worries. He is a backman, he isn't an intercept defener, he is a lock down defender. People are way too harsh sometimes.

His a stopper that's it like Dave Astbury you need one of them in your side we don't need him to be a star.He’s actually a worry below the knees. We can’t have him in the side just as a spoiler if he can’t keep up with his opponent. Yze should’ve put Miller on King as he got off the chain.
I was a fan of Youbg last year, but his game hasn’t improved and I don’t see any upside in him anymore.
Yes, but he’s actually not very good at it anymore bc opposition coaches know he’s slow off the mark. Forwards are running him into the ground now.His a stopper that's it like Dave Astbury you need one of them in your side we don't need him to be a star.

He isn't Baltas replacement and never has been. 2 very different kind of defenders. Our back 6 was actually pretty good today. Saints only kicked 9 goals, our forward line is a bigger concern.Eh with Balta going forward, a key defender is by far our most pressing need and if this guy is the option moving forward then we are royally ****ed.

Actually Miller or Gibcus were/are Baltas replacement. Young was already there.He absolutely is Baltas replacement, just that Balta was just as capable of an intercepter as he was a lockdown defender cause when you're very good at job that is the result. Not simply a lockdown player which is all Young is and not very good one at that.
No s**t our forward line was a bigger concern today. It was missing 100 goals in the form Lynch and Balta.
Kept King to 1 goal & is being criticized jesus...

That's because we have some supporters still clinging on to the fact that Balta should play down back.Kept King to 1 goal & is being criticized jesus...
Balta has more talent than Young but I would argue he makes more mistakes as well.That's because we have some supporters still clinging on to the fact that Balta should play down back.
Young might be down on his form this year compared to last year but he is still considered above average for spoils and 1 on 1's in his 23 game career.
I remember when Astbury used to cop it week after week when the club decided we should try him down back.
Careful, others will bring out the Rance comparisons even though Rance couldn't kick for shit as a forward and couldn't ruck.Balta has more talent than Young but I would argue he makes more mistakes as well.
Balta has proven better imo as fwd/ruck makes far less errors.
He just didn't spoil the ball today, like didn't even attempt to. Miller was guilty of it too. They had the size and reach advantage on Watergate and refused to use it. Honestly never seen anything like it and from two players known for killing the ball before the oppo gets their mitts near it. Was like the fix was in.
Beaten too easily though when there was 50/50 ball in play.Should never judge the performance of a key defender too harshly when the midfield gets smashed.
He’s our worst defender
Ben Miller has flown past him
May aswell try Kosi back to see if he has any value staying at the club otherwise him and Young can go

lacked any sort of intensity.
