Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3148514, member: 1847"] My 5c worth is signing Boyd and not re-signing Bennett was the end of Boyd. It looks to me like he can't play well unless Bennett is in his immediate vicinity, which might also hold true for a few other players who were close to Bennett. As for him going to FB, for mine, it's really the only sensible option in a scenario when good sense is absolutely critical. Sadly, such options as we face here are choices between evils, where either choice is evil. So we need to pick the lesser. For mine, Boyd is simply NOT a centre and therefore putting him there is just stupid. It weakens our centres and gives Boyd a reason to minimise his contribution to the team. He can always say about his performance there - well, they put me there knowing I am not a true centre. He's a FB and a SOO winger. They are his only positions for mine. As we desperately need an organising FB, and given he has a proven track record there over the years, that is his best position. If he fails, then he has absolutely no excuse at all and just has to be dropped immediately. I may be totally wrong here but I draw a clear distinction between Boyd and Milford. Boyd for mine deliberately under-plays whereas Milford is just fucked by being the victim of too many adverse circumstances. He just doesn't have what it takes any more to cope. Boyd on the other hand seems to know exactly what is going on and has made deliberate choices about his contributions, which, to be fair have been ok in a few matches. But for Boyd, given he was retained to lead this side, ok is insufficient. I dunno, maybe his depression is cruelling him. Maybe I am being too hard on him. [/QUOTE]
