Bodin has been good in parts this season, has had a few good runs and flicks but is largely ineffective but he was last season too so IMO no improvement. He also doesn't score and so no improvement.
Overall we are left with the same player that we had last season IMO.
I'm not as angry about his inclusion now because there is nothing I can do to get Bodin out of the team (not because I don't like the lad but because he doesn't warrant a starting berth although now we have Cameron i'd rather let Bodin start). I just have to support him as I've always done on the pitch at least.
In his defence I do strongly feel that Ling and now Knill are using him appallingly badly but Bodin too has to take some responsibility for his own performances. If we get a cohesive attacking unit that clicks and plays with a high tempo and with players in support, not for 20 minutes in a game, or a half but for a longer period on a regular basis then I do feel we will see the best of Billy. I don't yet know how good that will be or what that will mean but at the moment it's same old but I can see more in his locker if Knill would make his f*cking mind up if he wants all these pacy tricky players to go forwards or fanny around with it in the middle for large periods.
