Should probably be on the fringes of getting an England call up, but won't be. Especially given we don't have too many options at LB

I think thats probably a bit far but keep it up another couple years in the prem and he should be in the conversation.

Is he any good defensively?

His strength is running down the byline and crossing it to big men in the middle, rather than the modern style winger who cuts inside and runs into the box.

The left back in their defeat to Bournemouth last night was Hashioka, who Google tells me has played just 3 matches and is usually on the right. He got taken off after Bournemouth's third and replays showed he may have been the weakness in all 3 of Bournemouth's goals to that point. The 4th goal then also came down the left. Doughty was playing left midfield and as we know can be a very effective left wing back. Definite defending question mark for me.
