Saville

- Start date
Agree 100% except Billy doesn't convince me
Gotta say Saville been different class last couple of months, massive cog in the wheel. Just hope his body holds up last few games
Can’t agree with that Purley. He was everywhere today. As well as Leonard does in there, Mitchell and Sav are the heartbeat in this teamAgree 100% except Billy doesn't convince me
Don’t doubt his energy and determination but 80% of his passes go backwards and, often, he dwells on the ball getting caught in possession and creating problems for his teammates
(eg late in the 2nd half he got the ball wide on the right just inside their half, didn’t see a forward pass so turned and, rather than lay the ball back to Hutch or Danny, took a couple of extra touches, lost the ball, they broke threateningly and gained a corner 
. Could have proved very expensive.Think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one

Billy needs to progress from the negative midfielder he is at the moment , great engine but needs to add an attacking flair to his game ,too many times in space but puts a negative ball sideways or backwards instead of attacking the space in front of him , cannot fault his endeavour but needs to step up if he wants to.improve

Player of the season will be a tough call this year. Sav and Billy have both been good in midfield and Bradshaw and Zian with 15/14 goals have to have a good shout. Cooper, thought he was on a bit of a downward spiral form wise but this season he's been back to his best with both Hutch and Creswell at his side. Good captain as well.

Cooper started shakily this season but since then he has been immense. I'm not exaggerating when I say we should have had at least six penalties from fouls on him.
I'd agree that Zian, Bradshaw, Cooper and Saville will be in the running. Think it will Zian though.

Spot on wolf.
Me and mine all agree their partnership is beginning to flourish.
Saville is beginning to show leadership quality. Would love to see him and Billy get amongst the goals.
And yes Malone slotted in perfectly when he came on for Murray.

It'll be a close run contest this season that's for sure. Zian and Savs will be in the front 2 I reckon. Savs leadership/organisation on the pitch edges it for me. Immense second half of the season.

Fellas back to his best. His organisation and work rate is very underestimated.
Totally different player and role from when he joined us but he’s getting better and better at what he’s being asked to do now

Agree. He’s not the driving midfielder making and taking chances as he was in his first spell, but his work rate and determination to break up play and find the easy ball is second to none. On his game!Totally different player and role from when he joined us but he’s getting better and better at what he’s being asked to do now
Me too mate. Stand by for the onslaught!Agree 100% except Billy doesn't convince me
Player of the season for me too! Has been immense and a great leader out there. at important times. Knows how and when to get a free kick too!

So only 50% then.Agree 100% except Billy doesn't convince me
I think he’s plateauing at the level of his competence unfortunately.

Remember a few months ago saying on here "I've no idea what Saville has to do to start". He has been immense. The 'problem' is, both him and Mitchell are defensive minded... and thats where Leonard (when fit) comes in.

Personally I think he should be the match day captain.
