A blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony. Thanks Hubby and goodbye, enjoy league two
Harsh. He's been a good servant and he is good at this level. However, yes he should move on.A blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony. Thanks Hubby and goodbye, enjoy league two
Another player who has suffered due to a formation that doesn’t suit a number of players and he’s a much better left back.He’s a good enough left back at this level. He definitely isn’t a wing back or a centre back in a back four and for me I don’t really like him in that left of a back 3 position either. I wouldn’t be offering him a contract either
Bollox been one of most consistent players if not the most consistant this season.A blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony. Thanks Hubby and goodbye, enjoy league two
He does when he's on his game. He's looking tired to me. Everyone gets rotated except him and I think it's affecting his touch the longer games go on.If he’s a long ball, one trick pony, then who is that guy who keeps overlapping down the left wing and putting some good crosses in?
We haven't got one.Bollox been one of most consistent players if not the most consistant this season.
Who is a better lb in our squad?
Him being the best left back in our squad doesn’t mean he’s good. It just means the others are worse.Bollox been one of most consistent players if not the most consistant this season.

Unfortunately some on AVFTT do.FFS, do people just get high on calling our players?
When we were passing it about sideways and backwards (but keeping possession) some people moaned
It’s only the last couple of games where Hubby has started to play the long ball where normally he would have took the ball down the left and then got a cross over. He has hit his target with the long ball far more than he has missed so give the bloke some fcuking credit instead of having a go.
And it is also bollox when people say the formation has spoilt his game. As long as he has been here he has played the same role and he is comfortable doing so in that position and he plays well
In fact I would go as far as saying he has been the most reliable player so far this season.
So we don’t play with a wing back ?Great player but should be playing left back in a back 4 with Gabriel right back and Marv and Pennington or Cassy as the 2 centre backs, our current formation is awful.
We seriously have the thickest fan base in football. Husband has been a quality player this season.A blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony. Thanks Hubby and goodbye, enjoy league two
No, we play a straight back 4 and have attacking wide players supported by the full backsSo we don’t play with a wing back ?
Totally agree. I’ve no time for him myself. Often plays a long ball to nobody! The guys I sit with can’t understand why I dislike him, but I can’t understand what they like about him!A blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony.

He's definitely a great character and experienced player too, just could do with getting back to some better form.Been a great servant Jimmy and a top bloke.
I think some especially on here expect masterclass performances from our players every week but unfortunately for them this isn’t football manager.
I’d be more than happy if he signed up for another year or two.
I saw an interview last year when he said he was one of the fastest players in our squad. Never seen him as a slouch.He's definitely a great character and experienced player too, just could do with getting back to some better form.
Sadly he's another with no real pace, like much of our back line.
Rarely gets done for pace & obviously under instructions from poundland Pep to hit those diagonals. Like Wiz says no one to rotate him with so maybe fatigue setting in a bit.He's definitely a great character and experienced player too, just could do with getting back to some better form.

Unlike certain defenders, that prefer to pass sideways and put team mates under more pressure.I think you're right - but do people show for him enough, and give him an easy option?
The simple ball is never there, we're always under pressure with no composure - and to avoid a calamity Hubby and Grimmy hoof it.
Exactly - it's good coaching and tactics that enable a team to play out from the back and into midfield.Unlike certain defenders, that prefer to pass sideways and put team mates under more pressure.
He doesn't strike me as particularly fast these days, him not being done much is more because he's experienced too.Rarely gets done for pace & obviously under instructions from poundland Pep to hit those diagonals. Like Wiz says no one to rotate him with so maybe fatigue setting in a bit.
Finally!!! Someone else who sees him for what he is! Thank youA blessing that his contract is up at the end of the season, time to move on from this one trick pony. Thanks Hubby and goodbye, enjoy league two
I actually think he’s better in this position now than as a left back, feel like he’s quite vulnerable there.He’s a good enough left back at this level. He definitely isn’t a wing back or a centre back in a back four and for me I don’t really like him in that left of a back 3 position either. I wouldn’t be offering him a contract either
Eki is the only central defender with any pace.He doesn't strike me as particularly fast these days, him not being done much is more because he's experienced too.
Our back line lacks real pace bar Gabriel, who's obviously playing wing back.
We've seen many times this season where on ball over the top has seen us badly exposed.
Defensively we don't look that strong. Pace is one aspect, knowing how to defend is another and not putting ourselves into trouble too.
Minority,in a big way . Give it up.Finally!!! Someone else who sees him for what he is! Thank you
Yep and if he isn't playing, Casey, Pennington and Husband aren't quick. They're not Ben Heneghan slow but that's just as well.Eki is the only central defender with any pace.
