Hi Guys

I am a HUddersfield fan and I have got Tommy makinson in my dream team. I have seen that Ade gardner is back in the 19 for your game on Friday.

I am just wondering if you guys think Makinson will still play for you or will he miss out now gardner is back?

You've already done that with LMS, the frenchie, Perry and Flanagan.

Yes, in that game against Leeds. What about the previous 10 years (well 9, along with everyone else he was pretty good in 2006)?

He's average, he's always been average and he won't be getting any better. We were on the verge of getting shut of him 12 months ago and then bizarrely gave him a 2 year deal. At least with the youth their mistakes can be attributed to inexperience, with Gardner it's basically incompetence.

It's a fair point, I recall many a season defending him at Saints saying, he'll come good soon, I gave up about 2 years ago. But can't deny he has been pretty decent this year even if over the other 10 he's not delivered.

You're being a little unkind - Gardner's been a decent player over most of his Saints career, no more, no less. He had a terrible 2 years under Potter but has been mostly very good indeed on the rare occasions he has played since. He has limitations but he's still a better option overall than Makinson for me when he's fit.
