Anybody who saw Notts last season would agree his position is predominantly deep lying central midfielder to what degree depends on how the game is going and how much control we do or don't have.
However none of this address the point that people are making , he didn't cover lots of ground, he's not physically strong winning more than his fair share of 50:50s and personal tussles and above all tackling is not one of his strengths. That's not his game
He's a great player at this level, as I said he was rightly the POTS and our most consistent player alongside Cameron IMO but he was part of the reason (with others) why our midfield unit was overrun at times, and definitely outmuscled
