He has his doubters but I really like him as a footballer. I think he will stand out better next season in the Championship as I hope it might encourage him more and suit his style of play. His main attribute is that he can deliver a great cross which of course is more threatening and can leads to goals.
I'm not sure at all about next season but I hope Green is in SCP's plans to play a big role in the Champ, can see him coming into his own a bit more, playing to his strengths and an important role for the team.
Thoughts?

I hope I'm proved wrong.
What a lot of people fail to realise is that he is at his most deadly from set plays. We're fortunate enough to have the likes of Yann and JJ as consistent first teamers which means we maybe haven't seen that side of him too much.
He gets a lot of criticism for not tracking back too well, but I think that's only a result of Wagstaff being exceptionally good at tracking back. Green doesn't do defensive duties any less than other good wingers out there.
He is the best crosser of a ball I've seen at the club.
Moments like that the season just gone is why we were champions.
He was correctly dropped for the better team player late in the season.
Certainly not going to write him off yet, if he can work on the weaknesses then we have a real asset. Genuinely think his delivery is amongst the best I've seen whilst he did not get anywhere near direct goalscoring free kicks last season (for obvious reasons) but he is more than capable of scoring more goals.
He could certainly surprise a few next season.
Like Beds, I hope I wrong, but time will tell.
Glad you agree.
Overall though, I suspect right wing will be an area CP will be working hard to improve over the summer by bringing a player in - Green may well be allowed to leave either on loan or if the right offer comes in.
Not that I want to give the impression that I have a downer on either of them, they both made significant contributions at different times last season and it's not Green's fault he was so over hyped on here. Unfortunatley though, I don't really buy into this theory that the Championship is going to be easier for some of our more flair type players like Green and Stephens, it's still played at a high pace and has very physical sides - it is the English second division after all, not La Liga.
He spoke about playing his football in front of 1500 then 15000 and how it had taken some time to get used to.
He is expecting 20000+ crowds and is really excited about playing in the CCC.
This group of players are a close-knit bunch, and are very supportive of each other. DG is being encouraged by YK and Andy Hughes - yet he himself is coaching Michael Smith to get improvement.
They seem a very honest lot and recognise their own shortfalls.
Hope I'm proved wrong.
Alsio, we were getting found out playing a rigid 442, and have players like Haynes who may be better in a different formation. Say 433 with 3 from Hollands/Stephens/Pritch/Jacko, then BWP/Kermo/Haynes. That leaves both Waggy and Green on the bench.
