Rescuing him from the depths of page three....

He was good tonight I felt, a positive from another dreary game. 

He’s not always the right choice to start, but he always put a shift in, isn’t afraid of going in for a challenge and has a habit of popping up with a goal or two.

A useful player to have. Perhaps unlucky not to be starting more games.

Yeah pretty much a wasted talent hete as it stands.

Hopefully the new manager will utilise him more.

Good player in my opinion.

It’s a funny one because I don’t quite know how he fits in with our best line up. Whatever that is.

His best position is clearly that holding midfielder role, but I think we don’t always need that position filled.

I don’t see him coming in for McGinn or Grealish certainly and probably not for Hourihane (btw another assist, nice one Connor).

If we play with wingers, I’m not sure how he fits into the midfield there either.

He’s a solid option to have anyway. Probably for me because he gets around a lot, bit more energy, he’s first choice for that holding role.

Disagree. I think he’s still 3rd. 

But he offers something the other two don’t which makes him right for certain games.

And which games are that?

Games in which we should be looking to have around 60% possession which in this league is a fair few, especially at home, the game vs reading last season was his best for us, we had around 70% in that game and he bossed it

Whelan for breaking it up vs decent footballing teams

Thor for games that we look to control

Jedi vs hoof ball merchants

Good options if used right

Games against teams that tend to have more possession. 

Jedinak and Whelan are both better DMs. But they don’t have the pace and hustle that BB has.

Was he even on the pitch tonight or was it just a hologram. Did nothing, offered nothing. 

Bit harsh. His head got in the way of Daniel Johnson's elbow.

Seems to run around a lot and always be a few yards away from actually making a tackle. Pretty clunky on the ball too. 

A nothing performance just when we needed a leader in the middle of the park. He wasn't the only one but he was utterly pants last night.
