If you don't think he would have broken in to the squad this season who do you think is better than him in the current squad.
I don't think he would have been given the chance otherwise Johnson wouldn't of allowed him to go.
I do however think he got that wrong and having a very uncreative midfield I would have given him a chance.
Then again I honestly believe Dan Neil is the most creative central midfielder we have at the club and is lucky if he gets on the bench.
I know that we can all be armchair managers and Johnson is paid to do the job, but I think in Embleton and Neil he is wrong, and Sanderson probably still wouldn't be getting a game if it hadn't been for injuries.
