Potential? yes. Currently ...nah... Sibbald, Archie , dare I mention it ? Harkes, will all do a better job just now.

Nout against the guy, but ..... why he has been thrown in straight away as a regular has totally baffled me. Plenty others deserve a shirt before him just now...
I actually couldnt disagree more with you. One of the biggest reasons for last nights improvement was finally having someone do the easy stuff and pass it off and stay in the middle. He held the shape together, was constantly communicating with the other midfielders around him to position them, took niggly fouls before breaks happened and was happy not to wander off like every other midfielder we have which constantly makes us open. The sheer number of goals we have conceded this season due to having absolutely no-one in that position has been frightening

Was he good? Not really, he was clumsy, he didn't look match fit but he absolutely allowed the entire team around him to be better and only goes to show how important it is for us to find another like him in January.
