Apart from the Reading game, when has he contributed anything of note this season? When was his last decent performance? Yes i understand people are fooled into thinking he's good because he's quick and run around a lot but in terms of final ball, finishing and moments of any quality, i'm struggling to think of more than a couple this season. To be blunt all he offers is a lot of effort but not a lot of quality.
I agree Puncheon wasn't very good yesterday, but neither were those around him in midfield. Even in his sort time back with us he's offered more than De Ridder has. He was very good against Cardiff and Birmingham and then out of the side. I'd play Guly, Puncheon and Chaplow ahead of De Ridder.
