Getting rave reviews from the fans after helping Lincoln to their third consecutive clean sheet. Playing centrally as part of a back three with nearly 70 games under his belt at just 20 years of age. Decent experience for a young centre half.

Gas that the starting LB for the U21s plays CB at club level and the starting CB plays LB at club level.
It would be good to see at least one of them emerge as a left back longer term. Unfortunately I can see them both spending most of their careers at centre back, players who play both centre back and a full back position more often than not seem to end up as centre backs for some reason.

I think it’s just a case of managers preferring that young defenders breaking through make their mistakes in wide positions— even if it’s not what their final position will be. Sometimes you see it with central midfielders too — in the 4-4-2 era, they’d often play early stage career matches out wide.
Bayern are well known for it. Alaba always gets brought up when talking about defenders adapting to playing in midfield but Alaba was a midfielder that Bayern turned into a defender. Same with Lahm, and Ryan Johansson played RB for them too.
Think Roughan had just joined the club that summer but being left footed and someone that started his career as a winger they thought he'd fit in at LB when their first choice LB was injured.. Similar with Alex Murphy. CB is his preferred position but Galway played him at LB when breaking into the team.
Just turned 21, Roughan is a left-footed defender who has already made 92 appearances for Lincoln City. A very complimentary piece about him in 'The Real EFL' yesterday.
