Pretty much a puff piece which I suspect was planted by an agent looking to extract the maximum price.
Tyler's statistics as quoted are certainly top half of any table and in a team that has struggled (and will continue to struggle) are arguably outstanding.
There is an aspect here that really - really - irritates me.
One of the tables is "fouls won".
Fouls are not "won" - they are conceded or committed by the opposition.
By styling this as fouls won it implies that "winning" fouls is now an acceptable tactic and is it any wonder then that player dive at every opportunity? |  | | |  |

Agree and disagree,
He had his fair share of critics, but we totally miss somebody like Shane Long.
He was fearless and took all sorts of punishment from opposing defences.
However, he was superb at getting us up the pitch, primarily by (dare I say it) winning free-kicks.
We have missed somebody like that all season, just to take the pressure off our defence. |  |

Shane Long and Adam Armstrong are similar.
High workrate and indeed the type of player a team needs.
So what happens.
Loaned to WBA to save money whilst a disinterested Dibling ambles about on the Right Wing.
Sport Republic masterclass.
What other money saving highlights will we see before we kick a ball in The Championship in August? |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |
