A little phase dominating my Facebook page at the moment is fans of Championship clubs posting their 'Under Rated XI' on the NPC Banter page. So i'd be interested to hear who you think plays in this division and is under rated. Steele De Laet Faye Baptiste Cresswell Antonio Jedinak Spearing Dyer Gayle Deeney How would that side do in this league?
always a hard one this as i feel people rate differently - but my one is this. Steele Brayford Keane Beevers Kennedy Antonio Austin Jackson Wallace Gayle Kermorhant
Well it really is a hard question. For example Tom Lees is rated really highly by leeds fans but I doubt anyone from other clubs even recognises his name
Other then hearing from you lot I have never heard Tom Lees name mentioned anywhere. He has never really impressed me when I have seen him
He is far better than a lot of centre backs in this league that are constantly hyped. Played for england U21s and has been the only consistent defender we have had since being in the championship as well as prior to that getting player of the season at the club he was loaned to for two years in a row. Could easily step-up to the prem imo and has a bright future, one of the only players that doesn't seem to get linked away from Leeds that is actual quality
The mark of a good player is one that you wouldn't mind being on your own team - in the case of Lees I wouldn't mind having him here. (Before anyone says anything, we aren't linked with Lees and won't be considering the number of CBs we have).
I not saying Lees is crap. I know very little about him Take Matty James. He has been superb but i doubt Leeds have heard of him other then us mentioning him
The problem with this is we just don't see most of them frequently. One player I've noticed who's just left Middlesbrough is Julio Arca, an unspectacular player who I always used to rate.
I really wanted us to sign Baptiste in the transfer window ... I would now add Dwight Gale to my wish list ...
He is under rated. We all think he is worse then a 3 legged donkey. It turns out he is just as bad as a 3 legged donkey
