A lot of people were really happy with how Boxall played at CB against South Africa,so I think it's premature to write him off just yet. There seems to be a tendency with people looking at AWs games to think a player is only as good as his last performance. Someone has a good game and they're our saviour, someone has a poor one and they should be dropped for good. That's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. Consistency in an international player is a massive asset of course, but a lot of our squad blow hot and cold. Partly that might be because of travel and the changing environment with new coaching staff and tactics. Hopefully if we play plenty of games and Hudson sticks with the same approach at least some of that will be mitigated. Otherwise we jsut have to hope they're fired up and on form for the games that matter.
I like Boxall but imo he is not really International quality. Unfortunately for me his personal skill level isn't high enough but in saying that I would put quite a few of the NZ players in that category. Even Chris Wood had quite a few times where he couldn't control the ball with his first touch, in fact one of those was a goal scoring opportunity. As far as Vincent goes, I wouldn't bother with him again! He hasn't progressed what so ever. I will be interested to see how he goes in Thailand, although I don't think the Thai league is anything great. Tim Payne just runs around chasing the ball but I can't say I've ever thought much of him as a player, as he's always done this.
I think Ryan Thomas is definitely International quality. He has great skills and very good vision - some of his passes were superb. Marco Rojas and MacGlinchey are probably up there as well. With Marco however, he really needs to get playing time with his loan team.
