Fair enough. I thought he was excellent against Forest and that goal certainly seemed to lift him after that.
I think the problem for a lot of people was that he unbalanced the midfield when played in a 3 with Stephens and Kayal, as they're all similar players, hence the possible scapegoating...
I don't think anyone wrote him off. There was a number of us that stated, quite sensibly, that he was utter toilet until the last few games. But there was also a few of us that understood that that was probably because he'd not played football for 2 years basically.
Anyway, I'd be happy with...
