The fact is James is there ATM, do you think Tis is going to come out and say "he's ****e but I can't find anyone to replace him".
I don't think he's as bad as many of you make out, but I would prefer someone better also.

Pobbop he really is as bad as people make out. I've seen him have one decent and 2 average games since he's been with us. The rest he's been poor. Admittedly I've only seen the home games.
It wouldn't be so bad if he scored the odd goal here and there but he doesn't even get close.
How many has he scored for us? Is it 1?

In previous seasons with the exception of last season, when he really came into his own, Wheeler always seemed to flatter to deceive. As others have said his real strength now appears his ability in the air an element of the game in which Stockley also excels so on that basis should Wheeler move he could be a good replacement.

Forgive me asking you this but have you seen him playing live many times? I have said elsewhere I would love him to do a Woody but I cannot see any evidence of this likely to happen.
Against Lincoln he gave the ball away on too many occasions, misplaced a number of passes and generally made a number of basic mistakes and wrong decisions. His performance against Cambridge was similar capping it off by missing an open goal. He works hard and does not hide but so far at least IMHO does look to have the ability to be an EFL player.
Having said all that judging from Tisdale's interview today he obviously rates him.
I have seen him play many times yes, he is decent in positioning and knows what his job is. I've said I don't think he's great, I would prefer someone else, but I could honestly name about 25 mids that where worse in my 40 years of watching. Again Tis isn't going to slag off a player in his, ATM, winning team, and why should he? Again we're winning.
Anyway, I like how Reid has changed from a target-man, to more the goal-poacher he was with Argyle, letting Liam do the running and set him up It all seems to be working in an amazing way.
Agree with this. I'm not James' biggest fan by any means but I don't think that simply because Tis bigs him up in public necessarily means he rates him either. Actually I can't think of an occasion when the manager has singled out a player for a poor performance. I don't think he does that. Can't think of any manager who does.

Difficult to slag off a player if you picked him.

Picking him every game suggests that he does 'though.
Think Mourinho has done it a few times, other managers too, it's generally when they want their player out and replaced by a big money player. Shaw for instance.
