Agree With Kipax and Jeff...
I can remember alot of 50/50 balls he has gone in for. neither do i think he gets pushed off the ball too easy,
as Jeff says many managers put 2 or 3 players on Gary thats why sometimes hes not as effective as he was when he came because hardly anybody knew much about him.
Just Give em a few games and then judge em, it seems alot of people just say they are crap after a few games, everybody is learning not just the players, so instead of just shouting "your f*ucking **** Roberts" how about... "Your better that that Roberts"
give em abit of encouragement
