Can't deny he has done that and all credit to him for getting in the right psoitions - although his pass to Beckford may have been more luck than judgement - but I am very happy with his presence in the air in both boxes - but if he tries to pass out from the back any more than ten yards, normally the best I hope for is that it will find an open space to give us a 50:50 chance to retrieve it .. invariably it seems to find an opposition player with plenty of time and space to control it!

To be fair to Matt, usually he has to lump it up the pitch because there is nobody showing for him. Our midfield was so lazy with Wellens and King.

EDIT; Also I was being tongue in cheek, he's not a 'ball playing centre half' but he's not as bad as people make him out to be.

Think it is a bit harsh saying Mills cant pass, as he has set up 3 goals in the last 4 games. His cross field passes have improved considerably - it's just his long straight balls he has problems with - but who wouldnt with long straight balls ?

John Sjoberg, Graham Cross, Jeff Blockley, Larry May, John O'Neil, Russell Osman, Matt Elliot, Phil Gilchrist, Jack Hobbs .. even Walshy was a lot more accurate ...

Having said that, this is the only element of his game that needs improving and whilst I'd probably just side with Bamba currently, there is no way I would drop Mills until we either concede in a couple of games due to him directly or he gets injured...
 
I would probably go for (assuming they are all fit and available etc)
Schmeichel
Peltier
Mills
Bamba
Konchesky
Gallagher
Drinkwater
Wellens
Dyer
Beckford
Nuge

At the moment I would still have SSL in for Bamba as he is playing well plus Sol will need a rest after the ACoN, if Beckford is struggling then in comes Delfouneso. Marshall will come in in time
