Quote ="bewareshadows"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.
