Striker Wootton's Defensive Debut Saves Stockport

0:00On April 17, Stockport County is dealing with a defensive nightmare, so manager Dave Chalinor pulled a wildcard by shifting Star Striker Kyle. Wooten, to center back. The six foot three-forward made his full debut in defense earlier this week and helped lock down a two-neil win over AFC Wimbledon, complete with A, clean sheet for three crucial points in League 1. Injuries have hammered their backline all season, leaving just one traditional center defender fit after Joseph OlaWoo's knee ligament tear. Wooten, who's been on fire up top with 19 goals and three assists this term, his best ever stepped up without complaint. Fans were buzzing after the match, impressed by how he handled the switch, especially since they lost the EFL Virtue trophy final to Looten earlier this. Month where he first dropped back, traveling supporters gave him props for studying the ship. Winner called Wooten, the most selfless player he's coached, always ready for team jobs. He even joked they might have extended the striker's career by five years, at least

1:03since he can now stop goals when he's done scoring them. With Bolton Looney Josh Dakers, cogley nearing a return and youth player Kristy Grogan recalled from loan, options are coming, but Wooten's defensive. And that could keep defenses guessing long term.
