Once again yesterday there were occassions when players looked to go by him down the line and he is, to be perfectly honest, out of his depth.
I'm happy with him as cover, but I don't 'arf hope we bring in at least one fullback to knock him down the pecking order. Someone with pace, please Tone.

Totally agree. He had some good games earlir in the season but looked woefully short recently. Yes Wilko dives in occasionally but i prefer that to just keep running backwards into your own box while never getting a tackle or block in. Seems to keep pirouetting himself into the ground as the attackers run at him.

Think Higgy's injury cost us the equaliser yesterday. de Santo easily outjumped Griff at head back across goal and Bennetti scored. I think Higgy would have been able to prevent the back stick header.

Griffin is an ok championship player but just out of his depth in the prem.

Hmmmm, not sure about that. He has been perfectly capable for the majority of the season.

if anyone "cost" us the equalizer it was Wilkinson. Instead of guarding and watching his space, he ball watched instead of looking around him, and the ball came over to the wide open Chelsea player when Wilkinson should have had him marked out !!

If I were Pulis I'd look at Riggott at Boro,whilst on loan he was always a class player.

Completely agree. Also agree with bringing Riggot back.
Griff is like Cresswell, top quality Championship player, but work needs to be done to get him ready for the Prem.

O'Neil will be looking at recouping a vast majority of the six million he wasted on him,whilst I'm pretty sure that Riggott is pretty comfortable accross the back four and has plenty of know how in the Premiership plus I'm sure he would want to come...

Griffin's fine providing the wide player isn't an out and out winger or space is restricted down the flank. To me, Griff is an orate Championship player, whilst Creswell is an average Championship simply running himself into the ground for the team. And credit to him.

Riggot is a central defender, who can play full back. We need full backs, who play full back.
