Send him to Coventry next season, literally. I was saying to my mates last season that we should keep him around the squad and he was worth being given more time. They all thought I was Mystic Meg given his form earlier this season but that form has now disappeared. Time to say Goodbye in the summer

He's better off the bench.

I’m on record as never being a fan as, while I appreciate his work ethic and will to win, he’s just not good enough and makes too many bad decisions and gives the ball away. But, he’s obviously worked hard to pack on muscle to help us keep the ball.

I’m still not a fan but can appreciate that, until the financial rules change, we need adaptable players willing to do what UE requires, even if that’s not particularly comfortable for them.

Personally I thought he was OK. No worse than Roger’s in giving up possession. Who does have the body strength to resist challenges. Did his defensive support of Digne very well to the point Hutchinson had very little effect until the penalty. Not Buendias error. Whereas, on the left side we seemed to let Anderson and Gibbs White, their two best players interplay with impunity. I can only recall 2 times when he should have done better with the ball in the last third and one of those he had no options and got caught.. He also made a very good defensive header out for a corner when Torres, I think, was behind the attacker, possibly Wood, as the cross came in which would have lead to a presentable goal opportunity for Forest just before HT.

I thought he was worse in losing possession today than Rogers.

He’s just too lightweight. Too easily dispossessed.
