For me he epitomises everything that's wrong with Sheridan's team. Strolls around and great at receiving the ball 90 yards from goal. And that's about it. Flatters to deceive. Why is he taking free kicks on the halfway line? Leave it to a defender and get yourself into areas where you might have a greater influence. No coincidence that for the three years he's been a mainstay in the side we have struggled to score goals. The most negative midfield player I can recall in 30 years of watching Argyle.
I've called him negative myself - but it's quite ridiculous to call him the "most negative" you've ever seen.
Presumably you never watched Steve Adams, McCall, Fletcher, Folly etc.
When CH gets forward and plays almost behind the striker, he's a real asset, a constant goal threat and always in with a chance of getting some assists.
But when he goes "safe", and drops to the halfway line, turning to face his own goal every time he receives the ball, he's absolutely worthless to us, or anyone for that matter.
I've said it for ages - if his mentality got sorted he'd be a superb player, and he's definitely capable of playing at a much higher level than he is right now.
He needs a strong manager to recognise what he could offer and to get him performing that way consistently - a manager, sadly, that we've not had.
