I keep hearing that he is a weak link in the side, but Holloway must like him as he regularly plays and in that position is preferred to Baps (cos Baps is better as a central defender), Basham, and I don't believe that the likes of Broadfoot, Bignot,Caprice will dislodge him any time soon. For me he is still a young player who is steadily improving, I could have sworn I saw him tackle at least twice on Tuesday, he is very good going forward and can ping an Adams like pass across the pitch. He is still only 23 but has played 100 games for us and well over a 100 for Oldham So in essence I wish people would cut him some slack, don't want him to be another boo boy target!

I don't think he is boo boy material and would hope no tangerine player is ever boo boy material. the issue with eards as far as I am concerned is sheer frustration with him some times he is fantastic and other days is missing in action.
His passing range is brilliant, some times rushes but overall can make the cross field ball look so simple
Ian speaking about him last week said he is now starting to settle and listen to what Ian is trying to do with him and with the birth of his first Ian said he had grown up more
I do think he gets a rough deal with who is playing in front of him half the time if you watch ince when he is on the left you can see a clear understanding developing between him and crainey and gomes

Great going forward and a fantastic crosser. A passionate player and I really like him. Neat trick on Tuesday down the line which left two Boro players for dead. Still can't work out what he did!
One area he needs to work on however is when he's under pressure holding the back line. Often rushes his pass conceding possession in a dangerous area. It doesn't take much to get people on his case yet they ignore the good stuff.
Probably more of a midfield player but there no room for him there at the moment. Would like to see him take more free kicks.
