Who replaces him in the squad as we don’t have another senior LB? 

with Chambers in and once likes of Traore/Bailey back, I think it'll be Hause, Chambers and Young as the defensive cover on the bench and no space for Targett because Chambers & Young cover multiple positions.

Ideal world, maybe you would hang on to Targett in case of a long-term injury to Digne, but in all likelihood Young's enough cover for the amount of season remaining and where we are (midtable and out of both cups).

OK.

Although, I don’t see him as a natural left back and he’s more effective on the right.

I pray Digne never gets injured/suspended. 

He's played 61 games at LB 2nd to 158 games at LM

Eh? Has he ever played right back? Certainly not in his last 50 appearances.

Why was it ok for Targett to be number 1 with Young as cover but a disaster now it’s Digne with Young as cover?

Am I missing something ? It’s for 17 games! 

People need to relax.

Very good point. 


I do like Matt Targett, but it’s not a disaster.

Not sure how much he will improve them defensively to be honest. 

tbh, if he is playing behind ASM on the left, he might have the chance to be in a similar position to when Grealish was here, as in teams will double up on ASM due to his quality, leaving Targett more time and space, and have "slightly" less concern about being overloaded by opposition attackers.
