Been watching Hendrick since he signed for us on deadline day, he's been really solid for QPR. Last night we were down to 10 men for the second half, and Jeff was still completing progressive passess and putting in a shift for the team, dropping back and collecting the ball from defence. It reminded me of his last few performances for Ireland which were also decent.

In summary - I think the level of abuse he gets sometimes from the Irish and Newcastle fanbase is a bit unwarranted. There's a good player there who evidently went through a spell of low confidence.
