As big, slow, immobile centre half’s go, he was up there with the best of them.
I thought he did really well in his first season, motherwell got the best out him and he did well out of motherwell.
He did well for Scotland, his best game being against Serbia but you have to look at the style of player he was up against that night. Mitrovic is a good big player but he has been out of sorts all season, he goes in huffs when he’s not happy and he’s also big and one paced. A perfect player for big dec to shine against.
When Dec did play against a quick decent striker he struggles. He was horrendous against Hapoel for example.
I don’t wish him any ill will, he did well for us and he’s off to get more money elsewhere. But I’ve seen much better centre half’s play for us and I’m sure I will again.
