I just don't agree with that either, Weir was everywhere on Saturday and in previous games and put himself about and didn't flinch any tackles. 

The only Vale player I've seen pull out of a tackle this season is James Wilson. We know he's made of glass so I'm OK with this if it's in the opposition half 'cause we need him fit and available as he does offer a goal threat (I would concede not much of one this season) and has the ability to do the unexpected.

Half of them cant be accused of pulling out of tackles. They never attempt to make any.

Ojo is not a playmaker and is supposed to be a ball winner.

Correct. The closest Ojo comes to becoming a play maker is a ten yard pass sideways instead of backwards.

Hes probably had four man of match performances where is running into advanced positions makes him look a decent midfield player. Majority of time he is there to cover the front players and strengthen the back three / five

To be fair its harder to judge him when we are so poor everywhere else. Ojo is not alobe in that because he is so poor too, Yes he is playing without any intent or interest for me. If we lose sat and he has the same game then i would drop him.

Hes probably had four man of match performances in two year where he is running into advanced positions that make him look a decent midfield player. Majority of time he is there to cover the front players and strengthen the back five

To be fair its harder to judge when we are so poor all over the pitch. Ojo is not alone in that because he is so poor himself.

To me he is playing without any intent or interest. If we lose Saturday and he does not improve his own performance then i would drop him.

Our best playmaker we have, more comfortable on the ball than any other player we have. Agree, that he looks fully pissed off since Crosby has gone and is well off form, but if we drop him, who do we play? Lowe? He’s about the only other holding player We have.
