    So now it's January. 

    What're the plans for Apter long term?

    Not sure why we signed him if it's clear he's in the Campbell mode of not fitting in stylistically with our formation plans. 

    Least with Campbell Jones has tried to shoehorn in wherever he can, seems Apter doesn't benefit from the same goodwill. 

    Shame really as I thought he was one of the bright spots from our early good form this season. 
    Apter has a better chance of playing wing back when we have Edwards and/or a new LWB available. Understandably NJ won’t start with two wingers at WB.
    The initial 8 games Apter was dropped completely for, we had Edwards and Bell at LWB.

    Which coincided with Bree having his best form for us?
    I do hope that Costello is proving to Apter that you're not necessarily a lost cause under Jones, I dont think he's that petty

    Which is why I said it would give him a better chance of playing. At that point, Bree was getting goals and assists, and NJ probably wanted more from Apter off the ball

    He’s be getting more game time if we had to fit defensive wingbacks, it’s just too unbalanced atm for him to start or come off the bench…

    There’s a place for him and we’ll see more as the season goes on

    Gets back into contention as soon as we get a proper LB/LWB in, Bree’s current form gives him a chance was unfortunate when Bell was fit originally and playing LWB that Bree was moving like Prime Dani Alves
