In fairness he wasn't here at the start under Quique. Missed pre-season and the first few games as he didn't sign until deadline day. I'd imagine by the the team was settled in Quique's mind and was starting to look like a solid unit on the pitch too.
He was unbelievably good in our promotion season and he seems like a thoroughly nice chap. I will miss all the different spellings of his name.
In the 2015 clips of him I see a number of occasions where he could lose the ball and put our defence under pressure. In the championship he got away with it. I do also think he went out every game in the second spell trying too hard to proove he was worth his place and that resulted in doing things like dribbling out of defence instead of playing a simple pass.
