What a letdown that guy was. Should have been way too good for our level but looked fucked. All the pace and power he’d been famous for looked long gone. Another expensive flop. It was quite sad to see how bad he was. Pretty much the same as Mclean, everything that made them brilliant players (at a higher level) just wasn't there anymore.

Literally his only quality was winning corners and throw ins further up the pitch and that was mainly because he could never beat his man with his cross. As big a one trick pony as you will see. It was clear early on he wasn't a tricky winger, more a kick it past them and run for it. Playing completely on his Huddersfield reputation. I saw him a few times on TV highlight reels playing for Hudders. If he wasn’t beating them for pace he was smashing through them. More than once I saw defenders just bounce off him. I honestly thought he’d rip our league up but he had nothing left. He’ll have been on a few quid a week too.

A half decent full back just needs to measure him up. Force him to come inside and his options are gone. Reminds me of watching Stuart Fielden when his kness started to go. Relied completely on raw power and agression, when the power goes you have nothing left.

Pre 19-20, but every year we get "He can still do a job for us!" and "Get yourself in on trial pal"
Division 7 boys and girls. Nothing against the lad, but it shows how you have 1 moment for us and you can dine out off it forever amongst our fans.

How many times is he going to "reset" and go again? Each time at a lower level.
Not to worry, we'll probably be at a level that suits him before long.

I've never heard of that team and I'm usually pretty good with obscure non league teams for various reasons. Are they quite new?

Our fans go on and on about the cup runs, but my favourite moment of the decade was last season when someone passed to Akpan on the edge of our area and he totally shat himself. He physically jumped like he'd been pranked by a mate with a fucking fog horn.

Wonder if they’re interested in a striker who is 37 in six months and has the mobility and speed of Dead Dave, the dead tortoise.
