You can never fault his effort. He is a great professional and has clearly looked after himself. I would never have a go at him. Every struggling teams has its targets for the boo boys and unfortunately Green is in the firing line this season because he has made some mistakes that have led directly to goals. In his prime he was a hard working all action midfield player. The problem is that when that is what your game is about and your legs go a bit you aren't left with anything to fall back on. He isn't ever going to sit in front of the back four and spray passes around. I have to say that when he gets the ball in tight areas in midfield there is always a sense that he might tread on it, turn into trouble or lose it. I don't like saying that, but it is the truth. If Smallwood is playing, then for me Green doesn't offer us anything extra. But if they pick him, he does his best.
