I agree that Tev Az ticks a lot of boxes. He looks a managers dream in the fact that he gets back and defends, is quick and seems to be doing exactly as he is told. He's not a day dreamy type like when we've had people like Obinna or even Baldock play that wide role.

He lacks quality on the ball though BBE, scuffed a couple of shots, didn't play in Nolan, the one round the keeper was a bit unlucky but didn't convince me he was ever going to score and didn't gamble first half on McCartney's cross.

But for the money your right he's a good signing and just allows Allardyce to play his system with a touch more confidence.

David James wasn't exactly gushing about Maynard was he ?
