A footballer very much on the wain when he came to us. Rather than be the brilliant example of an experienced professional for our young strikers basically came across as a fucking mardy arse who threw his toys out of the pram because he wasn’t playing.

As he said in the interview-he knew what his role was when he joined us and as he admits-he didn’t really want to be at City.


I can image what a fucking nightmare he was for management-a bloody loose canon in a very tight knit team with great spirit-dealt with accordingly by Adi.

I actually thought he came across well in the pod. Obviously a few sky blue tinted on here who jump to the defence of Adi and Robins lol. Those two fell out with each other!

It's part of life, let alone football that people don't always get on or some have poor experiences. Nobody is perfect.

It didn't work out here at all for Waghorn though, he was really poor but clearly was on the decline and had injuries, etc. I do agree though that the biggest issue seemed to be that he wanted to be elsewhere. He mentions about paying money back to the club in order to move, which is interesting.

What was nice to hear is how much he loved working for Lampard, joined Derby over Boro (who offered more money) in order to play for Frank. He said he was brilliant and a everything he does is about winning.

Martyn Waghorn being an anti-vaxxer makes total sense.

I bet you could make absolute bank selling nonsense to footballers.

He's right in what he says about being an on pitch communicator. Was very vocal with the players around him when he played.
Unfortunately his brain couldn't communicate with his feet.

This also shows why people like Allen are so important, know they won't play every week, but train hard, show good attitude and do a job when they're called on.

With Allen and Eccles they also give us continuity at the club. It helps build the team spirit we have. It's all very well saying get rid of those four players bring in this four.

But it isn't all about skill it is also about personality and attitude. It doesn't take much to wreck the harmony. Look at Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City, they have all lost that mojo and it's not from the lack of spending money.

Lampard has spoke about what a great fella Allen is to have around.

I am sure he is. The other thing I notice with Allen, is when he comes back from injury he seems to hit the ground running. Where as some players like Sheaf always needed two or three games to get up to speed.

Allen off the bench is pretty good at picking up on the pace of the game and just slotting in. Impacting off the bench isn't easy. If you start the game you can take 15 minutes to find your rhythm. Off the bench sometimes you are only going to get 20-15 minutes sometimes less.

Think Jamie Allen was born match fit

bang average journeyman who looked a shadow of his earlier days. Can’t really remember a single lasting memory of him on the pitch either.
Mine will be his role in the 4th goal v Blues (the O'Hare glasses goal) where he didn't get onto the through ball then spent 5 seconds jumping and spinning round with no idea where the ball was. Video should start in the right place

He was a strange signing, what with Vik, Walker & Godden already here, and we still had O'Hare. Weren't their rumours of Viveash falling out with players around the time he left. Seems that rumour was forgotten once Robins left and King spilled the beans.

Whereas Sheaf off the bench played like he had his boots on the wrong foot, with the laces tied together!

I'll never forget Southampton away in the FA Cup, he missed a sitter when were were 2-1 down with minutes left and then stuck his toe on Todd Kane's rebound and was offside.

Fan were unbelievable all game and every player came over at full time to applaud bar him, he went straight off down the tunnel having missed the golden chance in the game.

Hated him since then

It wasn't really that strange to be fair at the time. Experienced Championship footballer with a fairly decent record at this level. I didn't actually think he started the season too badly either.

The problem was he was on a downward trajectory and after he had Covid that seemed to just exacerbate that hugely.
