I Remember him being hauled off after 50 odd minutes at home to Swansea. He was being booed and rightly so. He nearly left on transfer deadline day on the win at b'mouth. I know he said in an interview that sammy lee gave him a shake up. His performances since that day have been great, especially his work rate been tremendous. On current form he certainly deserves an England recall.

Arguably he is proving critics right.

We all knew he was a better player than he had shown but more importantly he didn't seem to be really applying himself. Since City in the cup, and possibly the game before (can't remember who against) he has improved virtually game on game. He has been outstanding recently, set the tone for Monday and great again today.

I do sense a little niggle between him and Tekkers at times though.

I heard him say in a interview after one of the matches.

The effort he is putting in is fantastic - never stops running. He now looks like the player we all hoped we had bought from Newcastle but for while were seriously doubting.

This site never fails to make me laugh. He's beeen better than he was 100%. But want to see someone turn around their opinion from the fans quicker. I raise you our last last club captain before Scott dann. (Someone don't say paddy mac because I'll plead ignorance and not know his role unfortunately. I'm a bad fan &#128579

That chase back,tackle and turn around that he did in the last few minutes twice! Was amazing.
