Can't find anyone who think he's anything better than bang average. To be fair he rarely started, was often past the 70 min mark when he came on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I'm trying to make though is that bang average players, when played in the right system, have been promoted from this league before. If they play in a system that hides their weaknesses and focuses on their strengths it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the posters I was replying to though said that you can't get promoted if you're a bang average player I disagreed because put a bang average player in the right team and system and they can do very well.

Extending the catchment to development squad who never make it brings in a whole cowherds worth of tripe. Kenny miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny miller To be honest I didn't mind Miller, whether that's because he looked semi decent in a very poor team or not I don't know. His tan did clash with the white kit though.
