Yes, I think he could be classed as a league 1 standard midfielder, that's why I don't understand the abuse he gets.

No he's not, I was saying any player at this level can do what he does and much much more. Therefore he is below this standard.

His performances at league 1 level , suggest he is not a league 1 standard player

I actually agree, OP. He's a poor player and can't pass or tackle. He's lightweight too and gets knocked off the ball too easily. As others have pointed out though, who do we replace him with?

Thats why liverpool got rid af the twat back to us they saw no ability

I'd like to see what Finch can do in the team, Barton isn't the answer and Coulibaly seemingly doesn't fit the system.

I dont mind Thomas but he was beyond awful yesterday.

I like Conor Thomas a lot, but I don't see much in the way of an argument to keep him in the team, I would like to see Coulibaly given a sustained run in the team, when I have seen the lad play he seems determined to run at defenders, make a decent pass and track back, we have brought Coulibaly in and we are paying the wages, of course it's not his ideal position, but lets try and get the best out of the attributes the lad has.

As for Adam Barton, I don't think Barton wants to be here, he doesn't look hungry enough for it, Billy Daniels is obviously injured and I think Pressley would like to see Barton push on, Finch wouldn't be a bad shout, he is a big strong lad, can tackle and can pass, however we haven't seen Finch really go forward and I have liked the fact that O'Brien makes decent runs forward and Fleck likes to travel with the ball.

There is a young promising CM by the name of Ivor Lawton, yet to make his first team bow. However, SP seems hell bent on him becoming a CB.

Certainly says the right things, apart from his film choice.

I think he is currently our best/only holding midfielder playinhgin natural position.- however as put in earlier post when Reda is back would quite like Hines to have a crack
in the defensive mid role with ideally O'Brien in 4-4-2 but worst case with O'Brien and Fleck as the two more forward thinking central players.

I saw him at Wolves away last year and thought him and Fleck were great in centre of park that day against a good team.
