Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3170350, member: 1847"] That's a good point and entirely relevant. However for mine, a bit of context is required, at least as explaining why I apply my critical blowtorch to him as I do on here. I look at Boyd's performances not in just the context of him being just a player in the 17. Rather, I look at his performances in the context of him having played over 330 games, being an ex-international, SOO veteran, a player who for many years, was a seriously good winger and FB, who repeatedly says he loves the club which gave him a chance to be a star (and have a big bank account - nothing wrong with that of course), and, who, on that basis, was signed to lead, mentor, help our coach, and inspire a relatively young and inexperienced roster. For mine, based on the above special status Darius enjoys, a status richly deserved, his performances ought to be subject to more scrutiny than those of his less privileged teammates, in both defence and attack, and certainly more than if he was signed [B]just[/B] to be our FB as we ventured into an uncertain future given our suspect recruitment and retention record, although that is a whole other story, in part alluded to by [USER=8468]@Cult3[/USER] above.
