Re: we need an organiser at center back

Tarks has a lot of talents, but at the moment he's ball watching whilst static, shouldn't be too hard to iron out with some basic do's & don'ts drills and back line & keeper communication.

Gonna sound daft but I was thinking about this earlier on and thought Heaton maybe had a role to play, not in coming out for those type of balls, they were Tarks to defend, but in shouting at his defence to keep their men.
