I thought he looked more assured at left-back.

I thought his defending and positional play at lb left us exposed and manny done well to cover and bail him out time and time again. Luke Bolton and many others had him all never the place
Yep Donāt get this criticism at all. I thought he was very solid at left back on the rare occasion he had to play there and terrific at times going forward

So did I really hope we arenāt playing with wing backs this season if we are we need good ones better than last seasons
Fair criticism tho. He looked more comfortable at wing back and Iāve said letās give him a good pre season and see what he delivers ( hopefully without anymore injuries). Just my thoughts, I would get a left back in for when we do play a back 4 and have Gordon when we play wing backs. Wtf do I know tho. Iām sure our defensive coaches know better.
Can see him playing CB rather than LB or LWB due to his pace/age
Alexaā¦give me a list of cheap footballers.

I liked Gordon last season, I thought he had some good games, as well as some poor ones. He had a difficult start to the season which might explain some of his inconsistency as he tried to get sharp and match fit. I think he will be decent next season and I donāt think his will be one of our problem areas.
Hussey seems a good signing. Heās no spring chicken but we rarely sign good players at the peak of their careers, this is when we get them, unless we have them as new starters. Hopefully he will stay fit. Heās been a good solid pro with some promotions under his belt and nearly 50 games in the Championship.

I wonder if heās been signed with the intention of pushing Gordon forward into a left midfield/wing position? Most on here would agree that Gordonās attacking is better than his defending but we would have a really solid left side with Hussey at left back and Gordon ahead of him.
The last manager to try something similar was Money when he played Fox in that position. I think that worked out ok.

Not for me, as I said I donāt really get it. Of course he had games where he struggled, the whole team did, but on the whole I thought he was pretty good. Wing backs, which was the role he played, will need covering a lot that is the point of three centre halves. Especially when you donāt play wingers and they have to bomb forward. But his disciplinary record for a full back/wing back is ridiculously good, he contributed a goal of the season contender going forward and looked like he had the ability to take his man on over and over again.

Imo gordon was ok nothing more
Got beat a lot and had some absolute shockers eg Stockport twice . Was subbed early in a few games
If he werenāt so likeable he would have got pelters by some on here. Leahy defended just as well as Gordon but alot better going forward and many hate the bloke
Hopefully a fully fit Gordon is a different beast
I have no problem with him at wing back when weāve got 3 centre backs to cover. My point was in a back 4 when manny kept being dragged out of positron to cover. Hopefully a good pre season and he proves me wrong in a back 4 because I never wanna see us play wing backs again.
Stinks of a Flynn type Journey man signing.
But will judge him on performances and how he does here.
If he goes through the motions like the other Trivella journeymen Trivella sanctioned I wonāt be slow in calling it out. Seen enough !
Devilās advocate, but this is what they said about Peter Clarke last season, most minutes played in EFL, L2 TOTY etc.
A replacement for Daniels maybe?
Good experienced head hopefully Foulkes and Gordon will benefit from it.

He achieved those aged 37-39. Was worth a risk based on that but it turned out 39-40 was a season too far for him. Hopefully Hussey does have at least 1 decent season left in him.
