There may be some that think that, but not me.
Demerit certainly isn't great, he gives away too many fouls and his passing is awful. That still doesn't mean I'd rather have Goodson though. About the only thing that Goodson is much better at is in the air.
I think Demerit brings some bite when we're defending desperately, which will be rather often.
I think Spector's in really poor form right now, so I'd prefer what we had today (with Gooch if he can go obv) to Spector on the left. That being said, if Demerit is awful again against England it's certainly something to keep in mind (as well as, as I've said before, Beasley at LB).
