I think there is always a tendency to select information to suit your own narrative.
Playing top level championship is tough (granted last night was a different game), and if you are not 100% fit 100% of the time, then any player will struggle. I feel for the lad. Good pro, likeable character, doesnt moan when things dont go his way etc.
I think back to last season when he was december player of the month and scored 2 against Huddersfield. Probably when he was a bit fitter and getting consistency in the team.
Let all agree that he isnt s***, gash or anything of the kind. Maybe he is not at the level he needs to be for us though, and that cant be a slight on the lad. It just is what it is.
