He's been largely excellent this season and I think his calmness will be missed going into the play-offs. As for his influence, both Gayle and Field have spoken about how they look up to him.
We're fortunate that both Brunt and especially Johansen have come into form now, especially the latter.

I don't believe his influence behind the scenes has been what you might expect from such a senior figure. I'm not sure either of them had the legs to carry us through. But it's certainly true that the Jonny Evans who came in and made Olsson surplus to requirements had been replaced by an evil twin at some point during last season. The fact that he wasn't being picked at all towards the end was remarkable.

Dawson has been mixed this season, but the way he partnered Hegazi through those last six matches is notable. Again, despite the weird conspiracy theories against Brunt, it says at lot that he was able to lay into Evans post Huddersfield, despite him being an international team mate too.

I meant in the dressing room, might have banged some heads together

That Huddersfield home game was embarrassingly poor

Being 29 is hardly old in football terms! Spot on re the others though!

Barry was reported to have been a free transfer, although it was thought he received a kings ransom signing on fee and a reported £80K weekly salary. Then at xmas a few stories were about that we actually paid a fee for him (£1M)
Odd how these stories come about. On a free he was VFM if we paid everything he looks expensive. Anyway IMO he has had half a dozen good games this season, but time for him to go now - we cannot carry players.

Two most Impressive away performances Sheff U & Villa - Barry was our best player
When he’s played he’s hardly put a foot wrong, would be first name on the team sheet for me. Most of our poor performance have been when he hasn’t featured Very good signing, shame he can’t do it again against Villa |
