Yes I agree to some extent in fact he was one of players who did quite well last Year.

BUT and there is a big but, overall we are judging him on his teammates, the squad we have now.
If we go back for the last 20 Years where would he be ranked in a table of central defenders who were the mainstay of the team. I’m not including duds like that Legano fella who fell apart against Villa but regulars.
For example Gmac, Ollson, Evans, Hegazi, Dawson, Scharner, Clement, Gardsoe, etc

I’d rank him no better than Mete or Barnett and in Sir Gary’s reign Butler and Carbon.
He does possess decent pace but he needs it as he’s sleeping so often

If he could somehow improve his concentration there is a player in there. I do like his attitude however as was seen at Pborough when he bust a gut to get into the box to score. Something our forwards did not do all night I add.
