Tunchev used to be left-footed, but now he's clearly very uncomfortable using it for anything other than standing up. Twice yesterday he played the ball with his left. The first time he looked distinctly unhappy. The second time he nearly fell over.The best part of the game yesterday was Tunchev's man of the match performance. If he can stay fit we can have Mills and Tunchev at the back with Bamba sitting in a holding midfield position like Ya Ya Toure. Add Billy Sharp up front to play alongside Nugent with a new winger to give some service and we now have the makings of a team that can challenge for a play off place.

For those who haven't seen it: I'm really happy about this. Thought Tunchev looked really really good (even though it was) in league one, and quite pleased he's back. Hopefully will give Mills something to think about.
Then what are we missing? Perhaps Mills is very good in training? He's certainly better than Sledger, I have no doubts, but is he better than Bamba/Tunchev? who knows. I suppose if Nige thinks so, he must be decent in training.
he must be decent in training.
People get too hung up on a couple of stupid mistakes.
He makes poor decisions in dangerous places. He's clumsy and haphazard with even the basics of the game. His passing is appalling. His vision is completely nonexistent. He's been sent off twice this season, directly costing us games, and has been very fortunate not to have been dismissed on one or two other occasions. As captain, he doesn't communicate with anyone on the pitch, he doesn't lead by example, he's completely out of his depth.Look at our defensive record with Mills in and out of the team and it's obvious why he plays. People get too hung up on a couple of stupid mistakes.
Ouch. But fair, from the little I've seen.He makes poor decisions in dangerous places. He's clumsy and haphazard with even the basics of the game. His passing is appalling.

Never a £4m player, never a captain, and a million miles from a Premier League defender (which, let's be honest, is what we were told we would be getting in). All round a perplexingly overrated footballer. Competent rudimentary pro, no more no less.

Anyway, can someone fix the thread title please?

:icon_bigg I knew someone else had said it.I loved this observation of mine. I should be head scout.

Plenty of others do. Not that any of our opinions really matter.I don't see it sorry.

Yeah. Me neither. But then BM has seen more of him than me.
I bet people thought Walshy was shit when he first signed as well.
