    Ryan Wintle

    Over the past few seasons, I've been one of his biggest critics. I can't remember the last time, if ever, that I praised him.
    In all honesty, I was hoping Millwall (or anyone else) would have bought him. However, today I saw what he brings to this side. He was EVERYWHERE! When a City player was in danger of being isolated with the ball.... there was Wintle offering an outlet.
    The Championship may not be his level, but bloody 'ell - he's effective in this league.
    Oh, and THAT goal!

    Hes played well in the Championship before. Hes decent at Championship level and clearly thriving alongside players who are miles better than L1 level under a very good coach.

    He is a perfectly decent Championship player unless you listen to some of dullards on here.

    He fell out with Bulut which was a shame.

    And Bulut played him in the 10 role, the idiot

    He’s loving that role. Great new signing.

    His problem was never a lack of quality, it was consistency.

    Every time I'd be ready to write him off, he'd have a barnburner performance, so I knew the potential was there. I just found him far too inconsistent and I honestly would have sold him before a ball was kicked this season. Thankfully he is proving me very wrong, and is in excellent form.

    He has been excellent and would be the first name on my team sheet.

    They are just playing another game. Not the try to survive rubbish of the last few seasons. It's positive football

    Let's be honest, he didn't have many, if any, "barnburner performances" in the Championship; not for us, certainly not for Millwall.
    However, as I said previously, he's come alive in this league.

    He was decent when we first signed him as a "sitting in front of the back four" type midfielder, but it went downhill from there under successive managers. Good to see him flourishing now.

    Nah, I do remember games where he played out of his skull. 3 or 4 excellent performances

    Re: Ryan Wintle

    someone said today that Wintle was a defensive midfielder because he had no idea how to shoot

    We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one

    Pretty much my opinion and I think he has the potential to be more than “decent” in a side playing like we are in the Championship. The surprise to me was how little he played at Millwall last season.

    Fair play to Wintle he is thriving in this league under BBM
    MOTM today
    First we need to get out of this league before being too concerned about him in the Championship
    Maybe under this coach he’ll stand a better chance of succeeding when we get back there
