I think decent is the right word.
He's not a name I would put in my starting XI but nor is he a liability.
My only issue is that neither he or Conneely are ball carriers.
That along with Pearson playing at full back means that we are often short on options transitioning through the midfield(nothing against Pearson, he's a solid defender - just Bucko at fullback gives us more going forward).
For me with the 4-2-3-1 formation we play you either need the two fullbacks to push on and the 2 holding mids to sit or the fullbacks to sit and one of the holding mids to bomb on.
With Crooks and in the past Windass(when he played deeper), Murphy and Proctor we've always had that midfielder who wants to push on and I think that works will alongside a Conneely/Joyce type.
