YorkshireRoyal99Snowflake RoyalClyde1998 Holmes at RB would be purely for defensive reasons, surely? Can't see him being effective in a wing-back role, but could see him being useful as what would effectively be a wide centre-back. I think Holmes would be best at the right-side of a defensive three.
I think the wider players in a back three need to be quicker as your wing backs will be high leaving a big hole for him to struggle to get over to.
I think he's best as RCB in a 2 or middle of a 3.
For RCB in a two I'd say: Mbengue>Holmes>Bindon>Dean
For middle in a three I'd say: McIntyre>Holmes>Dean
They need to be quick if they can't read the game, anticipate and position themselves correctly. Otherwise it's not a necessity.
They can read the game as well as they like if they have glacial pace like McIntyre and Holmes they aren't getting there. Something that's been proven time and again.
