Not forgotten but thankfully he hasn't been missed quite as we might have expected when he went off injured. To the credit of Clark, Vlaar and Baker, they've really stepped up to the plate and we've pretty solid because of it.
I'm looking forward to seeing him come back next year. He'll have to fight tooth and nail for his place though, because whilst he looks potentially brilliant, he won't just waltz back into the side. That is of course if the current first choice CH's all keep their form up through the season.
