He must be one of the worst players to put on a North End shirt, can't tackle, can't head a ball, rarely passes forward & his marking is atrocious !!!
 
had an ok game yesterday, put himself about more than usual with the lack of Pearson. Certainly no worse than anyone else's performance.

Hope we get him resigned up on an extension soon.

I do not agree with the OP, but I didn't think DJ had his best game yesterday. Birmingham were not taking any prisoners yesterday and I felt that DJ was a tad worried about taking them on. Some poor passing didn't help our cause. I think he missed Pearson yesterday who gives the space to express himself.

One of the worst? Guylian Ndumbu-Nsungu, Anthony Elding, Andy Procter, Aaron Brown, Andy Smith, Andreas Arestidou, Akpo Sodje etc etc (don’t sign anybody who’s name starts with A)

the booking curbed his tackling some what but up to that point I felt he had put himself about more than he usually does. He isn't usually as forceful in the tackle. Thought he was unlucky to be booked as well.

What is up with you people?

Are you just attention seeking?

Has your best mate just shagged your missus?

Or are you a Lasher?

Or have you woken up with a bad hangover?
 
He's a skilful little bugger with fast feet, can pass and shoot. He's not a great tackler but his fast feet often mean he can get past people without having to crunch them. He's good at what he does, very good but he needs to be played alongside a battler like Pearson. His best football Imo has been behind the strikers so much further forward. As with Grayson he is not being played to his strengths very often. I don't know how he fits into Neils formation apart from next to Pearson which sometimes works but he's not the worst player Ive seen thats for sure.
 
Not his best game yesterday, but then again whos was?

talk about an OTT OP though.

Oh so close.
You almost managed a post without mentioning Grayson. Come on Chocky you can do it.
Focus.

He was dreadful yesterday but to be fair he wasn't alone.

Spot on mars. He’s wasted if he’s played further back in a more defensive role. He needs a Pearson type player either alongside him or just behind

Agree with that.

As soon as Pearson was unavailable DJ should've been on the bench & Welsh / Browne should've played.

We were getting caught far too often as neither DJ, Gally or Harrop are defemsive midfielders.
 
He sets the tone for how we play from deep, which is a big responsibility. He can be class when he finds openings. Yesterday he was playing a lot of backwards balls. Him and Gally seemed to be playing as defensive midfielders. What are we scared of? That forward passing from the start of the season seems to have vanished.
