Bishop positives?
Arguably the best defensive CM I’ve seen for the Iron.
1) Nearly as good as Ticker Taylor at winning a ball without making a tackle. His timing at stealing-ball was superb.
2) When tackles were needed, the timing there was top notch.
3) He rarely wasted a ball.
4) He showed generalship – lifted those around him.
5) His reading of a game was coolness and intelligence combined.
6) His covering in front of our box was terrific.
I used to spend large portions of a match just watching what he was doing. I probably gave him our MOTM in 50% of the games played.
Only once saw him play a stinker and, if memory serves, could it have been against Wigan at GP?
A gem! But we got rid just at the right time, TBH. He played okay at Mansfield but he aged at Field Mill.
