What was so bad about him? In a poorly prepared team, he tackled and headed quite well, was not involved in heavy defeats , and I can't remember him gifting any goals. His passing was mainly hoof, buts that's standard here except for sometimes Gurney, and Viveash previously.
He just offered me no confidence in his ability to defend properly. He may have been able to tackle a bit and head a bit, but I just found him too often looking like Bambi. If he doesn't give an air of authority then he'll make others less confident and it causes defences to panic a bit. Can't quite put my finger on it, but he just reminded me of a Carlton Palmer type of player.
