I must admit to feeling downhearted on occasion when he has been brought on as a sub in the past, but that is definitely down to the performance levels that he had brought to the table/pitch in matches prior, such as the one such example when I seem to remember that his first contribution to the game was to receive a yellow card.
However, despite my reservations about his ability at times, I will always say that he is, on the whole, a decent squad player for the team.
What appears to back up my humble opinion on this one, are the various managers that we’ve had since relegation, who have rated him and wanted to utilise what I, at times at least, have failed to see materialise in the shape of some of his performances.
When assessed in the round, however, and there are plenty of games to assess him on at 272 league appearances, you can safely say that he has been a relatively consistent, and mostly reliable servant for the club.
Needless to say is that I, for one, would welcome him being brought back in from the cold and into the fold by the club for the remainder of the season and beyond, should the hierarchy wish to offer him a new contract.
