Chesterfield attacker has new ‘appreciation’ for defensive role
Liam Mandeville has a new found appreciation for the full-back role after playing there himself in recent weeks.
The 26-year-old, whose natural position is higher up, has been tasked with playing right-back at times this season and he has done a grand job.
He revealed to the DT that his stints at right-back, including in the latter stages of Saturday’s win at Boreham Wood, have helped improve his game.
“I will play anywhere, as long as I am playing I am happy,” he said.
