I always thought he was. Not brilliant, but good enough for a mid table side in this league, and probably better than that if the style suits him.
Agreed. He falls in the Guthrie category for me, as in he was a decent squad player for us, who moved on to get more playing time, which is understandable. Hasn't worded out well for Guthrie so far, but Routledge seems to be doing well and I don't begrudge him for it.
