In a full season Houihane got 7 goals and 7 assists. How many did bird get again 1 goal and 2 assists and Houihane is way past his best. Bird is over rated and doesn’t stand out in a poor league against sub standard opposition. Houihanes on his last legs and contributes more. 

In a full season (3956 minutes), Hourihane got 5 assists from open play, in a free role allowing him to lurk around the edge of the box.
In a not quite full season (3580 minutes), Bird got 6 assists from open play, playing mostly in the deepest midfield role.

Ignoring the goals as they don't support your stance?  And his average position would have him nowhere near the edge of the box.

He never played a free role. A free role is a no.10 behind the striker? 
 

point is he’s past it but still was our most efficient performer in midfield

Probably wears them out dancing on Tik Tok videos.

And what's this thing where players, Cashin is one, tear their footy socks? Are they too tight? Get a bigger size. Sheesh.

Bigger socks are for larger feet, not for larger calves. The holes reduce pressure on the calf muscle and allow blood circulation.

I think it’s got something to do with helping blood circulation…or he’s been watching a lot of fashion TV and likes the ripped jeans effect

Dom on bbc radio derby said today they’ve heard noise from the club we’re “very close to a couple midfielders”

So I’d imagine we’re going to announce 2 in the same day to get the fans more excited

Or doing it both together, then when both fail to turn up just after the weekend the club will have halved our disappointment!
