If he had been available for more of the campaign, the full-back would perhaps have been in double figures for assists this term. Regardless, he has caused havoc down the right wing, through his rock-solid defending as well as his ability to hit the right pass at the right time. James' delivery into the box has been pin-point this term. Hence, it is no co-incidence that he has created 36 chances from open play, thereby proving his quality down the wings for his side. If the Blues had a more clinical frontline, the young England international would have had far better numbers this season.
