I missed some of his earlier games but even later in the season he showed plenty of quality at times. It looked to me that the issue he had was having to play the holding role, the failure to replace Gorrin in January meant we didn't have a proper holding midfielder and also wasted a quality player in Kane, it was a hell of an oversight , especially considering Gorrin was injured in early November so we had plenty of time to find someone.No thanks to Kane. Got steadily worse in his time here, we need midfielders with more toughness and resilience than he showed.
For all the hype of signing Baldock (looks to be class for this level but has a history of injuries, played about 800 minutes before missing the rest of the season and is now injured again) and Browne (class, off an injury, played for too long on his return, injured again) we failed to address the less glamorous positions which ended up costing us. Luckily we seem to be on top of that this time.
