He was dreadful - half paced - adds no drive and stands around - don’t get fooled because he tracks to recover with a desperate tackle - I would rather see all the youngsters - we need rid of him, Skipp, Thomas, Okoli, BCDR - we need some proper leaders who set standards!

What ever people think of him , he’s going to be needed as that midfield is just so lightweight

Played like he was drunk. 

 

One good tackle back was as good as it got. 

Is this Saturday you're referring to? Or every game of football he's ever participated in?

1 min 6 seconds into that. And people think that he puts effort in. He's just come on, and has all the time in the world to track the runner but is basically standing still. Hardly busting a gut to get back or close him down.

 

As awful as Skipp is, he's still better than Hamza which is bloody depressing. As I said above, that 1 good tackle will make a bunch of people think that he tries really he hard. He'll have a little spell where he runs around loads then he'll spend the rest of the game walking.

Hamza isn’t a great player but to say Skipp is better is ludicrous. 
 

I would want Hamza out but the prospect of Skipp starting every game scares me more. Would genuinely expect a relegation battle if he continues to play.

It's not ludicrous though is it? You might disagree with it which is fine but it's utterly hyperbolic to say that. Obviously Skipp had a stinker but you're saying that when I've just posted a video of some of the most pathetic and lazy defending you'll see. Hamza does that all the time. At least Skipp would actually try to get there (even if he's miles off the pace). Skipp's got nearly double the number of PL games compared to Hamza, in half the number of seasons. Not that it's definitive proof but gives you a good idea as to who is better.

 

Bottom line is, they're both crap.

I will say this in his defence, he has never had a run of games at the base of our midfield that I can recall, and looking at his performance on Saturday he may have found a level to help what I hope will be a young midfield with Braybrooke and Page. Give him ten games.

He's played under Puel, Rodgers, Smith, Enzo, Cooper, RVN, Marti, Rowett and Martin and never had a run in the side.

 

Why do you think not one of those have given him a run in the side?

I thought we'd never be rid but if Derby put in a decent offer he has to go. The fewer players here from our most rancid seasons the better.

 

What we absolutely have to do is use the money to buy an upwardly mobile, physical DM.
