Agree, but he  had a lot  better players around him and that in itself will make a big difference.

He's generally been pretty good for the AWs. Decent at the confed cup too.

I don't think correlation equals causation in that Dura has played about 75% of the games in the past 2 years and our defense has been poor - Ridenton has played the same amount of games; how much blame does he carry? Tom Doyle has played 70% of the games in the past 2 seasons, is he to blame? Scapegoating one player is a bit shark

Since you ask, in the 24 games where Ridenton started, the Nix collected 24% of points available. In the three where he didn't start, all vs opponents who finished in the top 6, they scored 4/9 available points, or 44% Small sample size admittedly. 

To that I'd add that the Nix looked far better in one game after he was subbed for Singh, though the result was not affected. 

I don't have stats on Doyle but IMO his touch and general play have improved in the past  2 years.
