I thought he was very good, but not where he was, he was an England international when we last had him.I was disappointed with downing at the time. But when I watched the highlights of the promotion season I realised I'd been too harsh.
Most of the problems he had the second time around were the crap passes being dished to him, it was the best example of great control all season that I've probably seen. He'd lost his pace though, and with that he lost his crossing opportunities (although to be fair, he never had a great deal to aim at and Karanka wasn't known for throwing caution to the wind with bodies in the box).
