I think you misunderstood me, Val.
I too would have Shipley at left back as the default. But I would always also have O’Brien at right back over Mellor.
Rather than trying to be too clever I should have been clearer that I was suggesting Mellor was not selected as left back yesterday because he is not seen as reliable in that position as O’Brien (even though it is also not O’Brien’s ‘natural’ side of the pitch).
