Steve Evans has taken issue with those suggesting Leeds United defender Scott Wootton is a centre-back being played out of position at right-back.
Wootton is often viewed as a centre-back by trade, but Evans has regularly chosen to deploy the Manchester United youth product at right-back.
His performances at full-back have often been questioned by some sections of the Leeds faithful, while last weekend he put the ball into his own goal away at Vicarage Road, costing Leeds their place in the FA Cup as Watford won 1-0.
But Evans cannot agree with those saying Wootton is playing out of position.
Assessing the defender, he told BBC Radio Leeds: "Scott Wootton is a boy who has played a lot at centre-back.

"I often hear people saying he is out of position at right-back.
"But he has actually played more at right-back in his career than at centre-back.
"So what's his position?
"He's a defensively minded right-back", the Leeds boss added, seeking to put to bed the debate over Wootton's position.
Evans took Wootton out of the firing line for Leeds' 1-1 draw against Fulham in midweek, dropping the right-back in place of youngster Lewie Coyle, who impressed on his full league debut.
