I reckon we're nearly there. No one else was playing those 2 superb balls, and no one else was going to play them that day. They, in hindsight, were the difference between the teams. But you're right they don't make a season, what they do is make his disappearing acts harder to fathom. But...

Who am I supposed to compare his playing stats with, Greer and Upson? The point being as disappointing SD had been at the start of the season, assuming you forget about him single handedly beating Leicester, and putting Brum and Donny to bed. He's still out performed Kas, et al. Kas being a...
