Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Never thought I'd say this about him while we were a Premier League club, but I'd go for Lee Peltier.

The guy has played CL football so somewhere there was a footballer waiting to be discovered.
I'm as amazed as you Bob.
Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
I never really understood the negativity towards him in the first place.
Hes never been a flair player but has always been consistent, if not spectacular.
Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Palace gave him a torrid time on Saturday. I remember thinking that it was the first time that he'd really struggled since coming back into the team in January.
Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Bruno Manga. He's far better than people give him credit for. Yes he makes the odd blunder but generally he's underpinned the back 4 all season and we haven't missed Bamba.
Next season, I'd play Morrison & Manga in the middle at the back and Bamba in front of them, in the Gunnar role.

If only he hadn't got the shits before the Watford game.

No shame in that as Zaha has caused many full backs issues this season and gained many penalties along the way as well.
But he is an “old school” full back who doesn’t really get forward which is why I think people have said we need a new right back or wanted to see Jazz Richards get a run in the team ? Manga clearly is better at centre half than full back!!
In the modern game, full backs don’t just defend , they are also expected to get forward at pace to either give the team width or populate areas further up field allowing their teammates more advanced to deploy a high press such as Liverpool or Man City.

Arter when playing is the most consistent and Bennett, Peltier has been excellent too as has Manga.

There's no doubting that Arter is consistent. He runs around a lot, kicks people, gets booked, gives the ball away frequently, creates next to nothing, never scores and does all of that consistently.

Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Arter is consistent in that he's booked virtually every game he plays. He could do a decent job for us in the Championship but not on £40k a week. Arter will remain in Bournemouth where he is still under contract unless of course he is willing to accept a massive decrease in his wages.

Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Niasse was consistent as well.

He didn't cover himself in glory for Chelsea's second goal

He's our most accurate passer, though that is perhaps not the greatest accolade to have. Otherwise, I agree with you.

I think he might have been used in there against Liverpool, Chelsea and maybe 1 or 2 others toward the end of the season
He sometimes looks completely lost in midfield though, especially against pace or when the opposition cut his options down and force him to pass
Re: Our most consistent outfield player over the last couple of months of the season?
Manga has been by far our most consistent player.

:hehe:
All that aside we are more successful with him than without him, I think?
It seems that way anyway!!!
