It was good to see him get into a few good positions, and his lob was a good effort. However, his all round play was honking yesterday. He looked laboured and slow, and he didn't once get his body between man and ball to offer any hold up or flick on. His chances all came from Gordon for them being completely unable to judge long balls.
Him starting next week could be the difference between winning and losing, and Goodwin has to drop him. We can't afford a passenger, and he'll likely be that at Hampden. I think you're right that he'll come good, but now isn't the time to be playing him into form.
