Obviously don’t know about his fitness but I thought taking him off was a mistake yesterday. I’d have probably taken Rudoni off ahead of him if we wanted to change the system.

I think that probably WAS why he was taken off. Tiredness.

Is it my imagination, or does he get subbed a lot?

Anyway, he's a very decent player. Also a player with a fabulous shot in his locker

Thought he was great again today. Think he’s more talented than Sheaf, a much more natural all rounder.

Benefit of having him in a more attacking midfield position is ironically that it helps defensively.

Both these. He lacks pace to get back defensively, same reason he can't do box to box (although Viveash thought that would be his position).
But let him play in that pocket his vision and first time passes plays us in behind the opposition. In and around the penalty area he is capable of getting good shots off.

When he joined us his fitness levels were way off Championship levels (not a criticism of him just a fact of having to go up several levels).

It takes time to build fitness to Championship levels. More than a couple of months and that is without injury setbacks. Fans need to be patient with players coming in and temper their expectation.

I think at the moment we need to accept he is going to give us 60-70 minutes. If he stays injury free we may be getting 90 out of him by the end of the season.

Re Sheaf he is a great holding defensive mid and we should leave him to do that. The weight of trying to be the creative mid since Hamer left, for me has affected his form. I would rather see Eccles forage forward more than Sheaf.

There's,always been a question mark over his fitness but he's definitely improving.
He was struggling after 15-20 minutes at the start of the season.

Another player some posters gave up on and out down as poor recruitment lol

He did a really clever tackle back and rob to regain possession at one point in the first half. Top quality and not seen that often these days

Did the hard part and then didn’t know what to do next.

What we need to do though is get him into shooting positions in and around the edge of the box

He should have been on the 18yd line for our corners when all their defenders were huddled in the 6yd box and there was acres of space in front of them.

Which is why it was frustrating he had to go off. We had a few opportunities with the ball at the edge of the box late on. Milan had a good effort but there were a couple of chances where players could have had a go.
