The yips weren't the only reason for him moving back. He's just not a natural forward. Very poor was a bit much, but I just don't rate him permanent forward. Sure leave the option open for him to pinch hit but he's not a smart enough forward to play there permanently. He might be able to learn, but as I've said his leading patterns aren't good enough to play permanently forward. Too often he leads to spots where the midfielder must thread the eye of the needle to hit him up, which makes it very hard for the mids and especially our mids considering they're not all exactly elite kicks.
Again, happy for him to pinch hit forward at times but defence is where he must start and finish IMO.
