    He;s pretty average. Can someone tell me what he's got ?
    Oh, and as someone said, another Rodwell.
    McNair, Rodwell and Cattermole, all on big money, non of them deliver. Thats one of our big problems, wages tied up on mugs.
    No one would buy them, says it all for me.

    Right, time to crack out the wine and whiskey (later) and forget about 3pm to 5pm.

    Its like I said before we often capitulate when faced with physical aggressive football as we have not got the players to combat this - skill or physicality prescence
    imo Coleman needs to start more of the confident youngsters, esp Beadling ,Maja and Asoro from the word go rather than the tried and tested shell shocked experienced failures - we can't be any worse and will have pace and energy in the team. Have an experienced bench and let them see how what to do from the side. EDIT : possibly bring Embleton and Ledger (wherever he is ) in to the team and still at least have Oviedo Matthews and Oshea in the team - not Love (not really championship standard )

    McNair on big money? Bought as a back up player, but early on the season looked every bit good enough for this league. Cattermole has a big wage reduction due to relegation too. He’s rarely knocked off the ball easily. Just hasn’t looked good enough this season. McNair needs to play, for me - he’s a mobile box to box player who chips in with the odd goal and I won’t base a judgement on Saturday. He’s just back from injury and struggled, but I’ve watched him control a couple of games in midfield at this level

    Hope you're right about McNair, I don't see it. Judge him come May to be fair.
