The JFC/Gardner midfield pairing had a lot to do with our poor form in my view.
The point I was making however was that saying he played more than anyone else in our poorest run for years wasn't the best example of why he shouldn't be criticised.
Does TB not see the irony in his statement that "JFC played more than anybody in the first two thirds of the season"? That will be the two thirds that we were shit then. Since he hasn't been playing we have improved greatly.
