Our record in league matches when he's startedP11 W7 D2 L2 Pts23 PPG 2.1Title winning form.In games where he hasn't startedP11 W2 D5 L4 Pts 11 PPG 1.00 Relegation form.For God's sake, wrap that bas**rd up in cotton wool between games.
I think the reason for the contrast is twofold. 1. Ennis is a good player. Unselfish in his movement, hard working, stretches defences, suits how we want to play and helps the team massively. 2. His stand ins in the last couple of months have been absolutely shocking.
Including games where he's either started or come on as sub, our record is:P17 W8 D5 L4 Pts29 PPG 1.71 Comfortable play-off formWhere he's played no part:P5 W1 D2 L2 Pts 5 PPG 1.00 Relegation form (admittedly, a small number of matches)PS: Thanks to RA's excellent ITEN piece for spurring me to dig these number out.
Don’t forget that Sterling was seen as a great signing when he arrived - and also that the delay getting him “over the line” was because he was on the verge of breaking into the Spurs first team. It was a wow moment welcomed by forum users.That the then for a bad injury is just bad luck.But it could be argued he was “recruited appropriately”..

Just the two bodies was clearly not enough.
JM was a 'one off" for Donny - which is reflected in his record for Pompey to date......
Without poking the Marquis bear again, just show how rare his fitness levels / lack of injuries resulting in almost omni presence is especially in players that really put themselves about.He was something of a one off really
Ennis or Marquis?
