I must have a fault on my laptop as there are no threads slagging him off today, wondering why?

Probably because he was pretty good yesterday.

He really upped his game yesterday. A couple of class offloads and some strong drives. Great credit to him as it was obvious he was making a big effort. A good number of posters have praised his performance on the Wire v Bradford thread. When the players were walking off at the end TS appeared to give him a pat of recognition as if to say 'nice one, good effort!'.

Let's not get carried away here.He did ok but still a bit lazy when you compere the work rate other players put in for much less money I'd guess.Got a long way go before I rate him in our best ever signings.

Credit too him, he was much better. But I'm not going to get carried away, it was only Bradford.

His efforts were less that of Hill and understandable but all round better than England. England's fitness is still way off although I do see improvement. He wouldn’t get starts in many other SL teams, we're shot in the prop department.

What he did yesterday is the absolute bear minimum of what I would expect from him.

Your going back a little on a post you made yesterday Yed.
I nearly choked when I read it.

He made 3 first man in tackles, he drove the ball in hard twice.
2 instances of putting B.Evans in a gap and about 15 2nd/3rd man in tackles.

Not exactly setting the world on fire is he, yet the apologists and the uber fans, those that would support a garbage player all season ( because that's what fans should do, a true fan supports no matter what) are on here saying look, look he had a game in which he DIDNT ACTUALLY SUCK.

Pathetic really

I have to agree with Yed, he had an alright game and it was certainly nothing special, he is still lazy in the tackle and seems to detest running back the 10 so will always be 2nd or 3rd man in the tackle.

He played well... still hasn't been anything more than a solid player - but to start slagging him off after obvious improvement seems a bit silly.

Just out of curiosity do we actually know whether he is on lots of cash? I know we all assume it as soon as a player from down under whose name we know signs on, but I can't remember ever reading it anywhere.

Somebody said last week £160,000 a year, not sure if they just picked that out of the air or if it is true.
