McNeil’s issue is he head drops all the time. Something doesn’t come off his head drops and you don’t see him again. Needs more confidence and belief, which needs to come from the management. If he can learn to keep his head up he will do ok.

Good point all wingers will have times when it doesn't go their way, the best ones however continue probing and attempting to create, not retreat into their shell, I'm not sure why Dwight's confidence is so low, but he just needs something to come off for him, and he could easily regain his form very quickly.

It wasn't that long ago that he run the show at Palace, and also give TAA a hard time at Anfield, so he's got the game to live at this level, he just needs to believe in himself more.

Keeps his head down because he’s so tired :roll:

When you take into account that on here :-

Tarks & McNeil aren't trying anymore as they want to leave
Lowton is garbage
Taylor will never be a premier league left back
Brady is a waste of a shirt
Wood is the worst striker in the premier league when he isn't scoring
Barnes is rubbish
Bardsley is a red card waiting to happen
Cork wouldn't get a game for any other premier league side and only gets a pick here due to being a Dyche favourite


Staying up this season would be a huge achievement especially when you add that the manager isn't very good either and no other club would have him

I thought he was one of our better performers and was surprised by the low marks on the ratings thread.
