All players that did well under GG. Again, you can't blame him for the lack of progression player while dismissing that other players did well.
I'm glad GG is gone. Let's just be clear on that.
But I think in the context of individual player performance, I don't blame him for Sam's lack of production.
It is amazing to me how many goals he's had called back so there's some luck. But I agree with Bingo it is largely mental and that has manifested itself in a player that gets down on himself, and then makes really bad decisions in the game in a desperate attempt to have an impact (e.g. really bad penalties).
