I wasn't Craig's biggest supporter by any means but I've just looked this up and there's no escaping some things. He signed at the start of the 14/15 season, made 35 PL appearances and we finished 13th. Made 34 appearances in 15/16 and we finished 14th. He left for Blues during 16/17 having made 9 PL appearances for us and we finished 10th. The following season (17/18) without Mr Gardner we finished 20th and went down. Shocking stats when you think about it........
All I remember is that, when Gardner started, he just ran around pointing a lot without really touching the ball. Then, when he was on the bench, he was the answer to every question, winning, losing or drawing he came on and proceeded to run around pointing a lot without really touching the ball.
Couldn't tackle, couldn't pass and rarely scored, apart from the odd worldy.
Remind you of anyone
