' Has Our International Player Gone Down Hill? '

ARON GUNNARSSON FAILS TO TAKE HIS CHANCE

With Peter Whittingham missing with a calf problem expected to keep him out for up to two weeks, this was a chance for Aron Gunnarsson to lay claim to a position but while the Iceland international remains steady, he was nothing more here. In fact, while he has other attributes and knows how to help protect a defence, his lack of impact was shown up by the energy of Stuart O'Keefe who has really made the most of his return to favour.

I know its a tactic but it could be anyone of

Marshall, Manga, John, Gunnar, Lawrence or Pilkington

Annis, you know I don't rate him. I just think we have so many central midfielders who have better quality than him.

Can't remember him doing much on Saturday apart from misplacing passes and putting our defence under pressure.

On the other hand, O'Keefe is doing well suddenly when a while back he couldn't even get near the starting line-up.

He's been here five years and I've never really been sure what he brings to the team. Consistently some of the worst passing for a CM I've seen at this level. With Slade going for more attractive football now, I can see him moving on in the summer.
