Why go back to playing players out of position? Also why would we play a left footed centre back at right wing back?

Preston and Sweeney are both comfortable at right back and for me better than Jones.

Again, why would a left footed player who has only ever played CB be a good fit for right wing back.
We've not seen either play play for a decent amount of time and declaring them better than our current RWB just because you don't rate Jones is perplexing. People complain about DF shoehorning players into the side and then we get a suggestion like that!
In my opinion the pecking order for RWB is: White, Jones, CJ, Atkinson.
I don't think Jones is as bad as many make out. I'd still rather have a fully fit Hayden White but is a more than capable stand in.

Yes he is workmanlike and a team player but he offers NO attacking threat and his delivery of any final ball is abysmal and almost always goes to a defender,
So many times move die with him at RWB as he stops and passes it inside or back therefore he removes any threat down the right.

Preston played right back at Swindon. Jones is Ok but against a side whose only threat is the long ball, Preston would be much better than Jones. I do think DF will stick with Jones, but I don't think we'll be signing him for next season. It's pretty simple really, surprised you don't get it

He's been fans player of the season at every club he's been at, and was starting to show that kind of form for us before his injury.
I fully expect Flitcroft will release him though, I expect he's on a wedge.
