From the consistency of their messaging there's a pattern of certain posters wanting certain players to fail.
I think someone else said it's to win internet points/arguments which is a priority vs. the player doing well for us.
I get it - you don't see it that way and you clearly believe that's not the case. As I always say it's down to opinions.

He’s a lazy disruptive waste of space

My opinion is he can fuck off

If, and it’s a big if, he is taking the piss it’s hard to disagree but I do hope it’s just conjecture.
The guy has a talent and to fail because of off the field events is a waste for him and the club.

The mind boggles really. If he's fucking us about, after being here about a month...I can't get my head round his character. I mean, who on earth wouldn't want to be apart of what's happened on the pitch the last two home games

Talent - 'natural aptitude or skill' To be fair I think he does have that.

However, change the word aptitude to attitude and therein lies the problem (allegedly!)

He’s proved it at league 1 - Carl baker was a talent in league 1 - the pace in this league is different and he has very little and now I suspect none

He may well not make it, but that is due to the lack of application, rather than the lack of ability. I won't disagree with anyone writing him off, based on the evidence (or lack thereof) recently, but he has shown that he possesses talent. Probably me being pedantic over the interpretation of the word. I have about a 25% expectation that he will step up to the plate, but I live in hope!

Well done Grendel for once.

For a very honest (kudos) and totally accurate self evaluation of yourself - and I highly recommend you follow your conclusion.

Haven’t you had a selfie with the latest non entity you want to suck up to?

Id hurry up down the pub to get it no doubt he will be on the floor in a couple of hours singing roll out the barrel with his mates

Im not even joking - it’s beyond a joke

I was amazed Robins signed him it goes against his general ethos.

I can only hope it’s very little pay unless he plays - or at least turns up

I had this argument with Grendel a few weeks ago he doesn't understand!

I think 25% is over generous mind you. Given the rumours i'm at about 5% now!

I do understand- he has no proven talent at this level. None. Carl Baker excelled at this level and league 2 not just for us but other clubs. You are talking about this guy as if he is a George Best figure who has gone down a league but has proven talent at the top

This guy has no proven talent at this level or even at league 1.

I'm not going to repeat an argument with you, I was just warning SBH.

Where have I spoken about him like he's George Best I'll wait! Not like you to use hyperbole G

Oh and the difference between me and you Danny is I offer an opinion

Danny - what’s your view on Bright - “I support the lads”

Danny what’s your view on who should play in central midfield Sheaf or Kelly - “I support the lads”

Danny what’s your view on Da Costa bomb squad or retain - “I support the lads”

Grendel what’s your opinion on Danny “Hes a spineless twat who offers no opinion on anything and if the forum has just people like him it wouldn’t have enough members to fill a mini”

Get the picture?

Which is my point. Al Bangura once had a great season for Watford - he could repeat for the rest of his career - and again this guy can’t even prove he has talent at this level - it’s a step above.

Ponticelli had talent in the U 23 league, mcnulty had talent in league 2.

This joker has zero proven anything at this level. Zilch

he started 14 and they were nearly 5 years ago.

Kevin Kyle played nearly 100 premier and championship games before signing for us. One season he featured in every game.

He was generally poor for us (with a couple of exceptions) but you can't say he was a shite player.
