Mid season i would like to see him have a run there but at the moment the Wing has to be the place for him, unless Richards picks up a knock.
Absolutely, Richards is a safe pair of hands at FB which is exactly what we need right now. Roberts may well be a better option in future but 1 game in a few months and just back from a hand injury and being at a new club all make putting him at FB a risk which we don't need to take.
It may well be that Richards and Roberts interchange a bit anyway during the game - perhaps with Roberts taking the attacking FB role?
