First word of your replyIf fit, he would work in the current system
Exactly this ☝Remembered for that wonder goal but little else.
I remember his spell differently. We had nobody that could play between the lines and he succeeded where other recruits failed, namely Ben Woodburn. Was a vital piece of the jigsaw in our promotion season. Obviously, needs to play in the right position.
Not really. Was vital in many other ways, particularly in helping us develop through the middle of the pitch, something we had been desperately missing before he arrived.Exactly this ☝

He was pretty anonymous in reality and apart from a couple of good goals, he was average at best.Not really. Was vital in many other ways, particularly in helping us develop through the middle of the pitch, something we had been desperately missing before he arrived.
Was a big reason we got promoted in the end.
The 'correct' position according to who, exactly?You expect Critchley to play anybody in their correct position?
Selective memory there methinks. He was a regular starter and contributed a great deal. Pretty anonymous in the play off final but played out of position as Simms was crocked.He was pretty anonymous in reality and apart from a couple of good goals, he was average at best.
I dare you to watch any of those games back and any we won well and come back to me on it.Selective memory there methinks. He was a regular starter and contributed a great deal. Pretty anonymous in the play off final but played out of position as Simms was crocked.
He plays in the unglamorous work horse position, so doesn't attract attention. He did a fine job for us.I dare you to watch any of those games back and any we won well and come back to me on it.
He was bang-average and like Critchley this time who has too many favourites and he was one back then too.
People are conditioned into believing that a player is doing well because they always play, but I tend not to get sucked into that trap.
