Great in the air, Great commitment but also part of a defence that let in a lot of goals.

All the above is true. The main reason that back four conceded so many goals was due to lack of protection from defensive midfielders. Apart from the 20 odd games Jordan Richards played, most of the time the central defenders were exposed & teams knew they could get at us.
DG tried Garner in the holding midfield role but he was ineffective, he is a damned good centre half , but never a holding midfielder.
If Greene had addressed this weakness in the team & we conceded less goals we may have gone on to promotion in 2016. The trick DG may have missed early spring when Marrsy was fit , was him right back, Garns & Pidge central & Zak Mills as the holding midfielder.
The ferriby play off 2nd leg was the sad example of playing without a decent defensive midfielder. Someone said to me 10 mins from the end "Garner hasn't touched the ball yet". He was chasing shadows, when he should have been influencing the game. The amount of games in DG's reign when 2 or 3 goals wasn't enough to win a game.
