He had two good runs with us. The first being under Mowbray and I felt he and Jim O’Brien were unfairly left out of that team on occasions. It was Mowbray’s rotation that cost us and I think Ruben could have easily slotted in at number 10 once Madders was injured.

He then found form again in the checkatrade winning side behind Beavon with Thomas out wide. They were certainly more productive that Agyei, Wright and Sordell. He’s definitely a more than able League One player and I was surprised that Robins let him go only to bring in Andreu.

I think Robins offered him a new deal but he turned it down IIRC

The worrying thing was, the season we got relegated he was actually one of the more physical players in the team.

Just about sums it up!

I remember one game he got fouled and the ref didn't give it, he ran the length of the pitch and just booted their player.

Did put himself about sometimes, usually when he was annoyed.

MCPAKE TO BE NAMED DUNDEE BOSS

Sky sources understand James McPake will be named Dundeemanager on Friday.

The 34-year-old youth coach took charge of Dundee’s last game of the season against St. Mirren following Jim McIntyre’s departure.

The former defender was forced to retire from playing last year due to an injury sustained in the Dundee Derby in January 2016.

I still remember when McPake said to the press he wanted to kick the ball out of the Ricoh. Bullshit mate.

Indeed, and if I remember correctly it was Christophe Berra’s debut for them having just paid £1m (or more). Definitely thought we had got the better deal that day.

I always thought he was a good player but his injury record was abysmal. He made Reda look invincible.

Obscure one going back 15 years but ex loanee Matt Mills just joined Forest Green. Was a good player in his day. His brother is at FGR, apparently he was offered double the wages elsewhere but wanted to join his bro.... Does anyone know if Bright or McNulty have any footballing brothers

James Madison linked all over media to a 60m move to Manchester United. Could see him doing well there, they need a bit of fun injected into that squad

Cobi Jones is part of the 4-person USA-based punditry team that is commenting on the 2019 Women's World Cup.
There are two men and two women on the team.
The women are ex-USA international players.
The other guy is Maurice Edu, who played several seasons for Rangers.
Cobi Jones is an excellent pundit.
He is very knowledgeable about the game (he played in 3 World Cups) and his comments are always intelligent and insightful.
