a 100 % fit Dijksteel over Ayling all day long , issue is he isnt match fit , missed a huge amount of the season ..
Him and Bola under Warnock were top qualityDijksteel has never been and never will be a top fullback.

they were steady, but then Warnock doesn't play a technical game, doesn't expect defenders to be able to pass, and link up play. In a Carrick side, he lacks the technical and tactical ability to play at the level we need. I don't think he would take the first choice role at any top 10 champo side.Him and Bola under Warnock were top quality
I thought Ayling has done ok since he's been here, probably better than Smith in most departments
Will smith return the same player, after a year injured and at 33(?) year old?Smith is well ahead of Ayling for me on what I've seen so far. I'm hoping Ayling is just taking time to get up to proper match fitness as so far he seems to be blowing out of his 4rse after an hour. Against Bristol City there were a few times where he seemed to be gasping for air when coming to get the ball for a throw in and he also asked the defence to slow it down with the quick goal kicks, seeming so he could catch a breather.
