The Leroy Lita one was decent, he mentioned we and some other clubs offered him more money in the summer of 2009 but he decided to join Boro under Southgate
Said on other threads, an absolute class act and consummate professional - been left out numerous times earlier this season (and last) but he gets on with it and is always ready to be called upon. Huge part of our rise under Robins and one of his best signings.
Feels a bit like an end of an era...
He had a good spell but I’m really not sure he’s good enough if we want to pushing top 6. We definitely need another LCB for competition, Binks or otherwise
Surely we expected better for £4.5mill?
I hope he’ll improve next season but it’s worrying how naive he seems in his defending. His form has massively tailed off the last couple of months, and we’ll probs now have to play a half fit Latibeaudiere with Thomas who also looks knackered
First cov...
I reckon there's about 15 obvious individual errors that led directly to goals this season
I don't include all OGs in that as some are just unlucky deflections
Watford (H) - Thomas backpass
Norwich (H) - Eccles poor pass on edge of the box
WBA (H) - Wilson butterfingers
PNE (A) - McFadz gives...
He’s become the victim of his versatility
I remember an interview with MR earlier in the season where he said Lati would benefit from knowing where he was playing from week to week
I don’t think he’s actually played as a CB since we switched to a 4, and it’s clear to everyone he’s not that...
Not for me. Might be big and plenty of experience but he’s nowhere near good enough on the ball for the style we play. There’s a reason he’s been a mainstay at Millwall for years
Genuine Q - has he always been this slow do we think? He’s obviously never been rapid etc, but this season when he’s played it’s like he’s got a parachute on when he runs. I'm sure he wasn't quite as bad in his first couple of seasons
Disappointing that COH and Godden can’t take a leaf out of Kelly’s book when it comes to being left out the side
Kelly rightly could have felt aggrieved to not be playing in certain games this season, yet he just cracks on, trains and sets an example to the rest as club captain
I think we all...
Tbh it’s pretty dumb of him to do that at the expense of an FA cup semi final at Wembley - unlikely he’ll ever have another chance
Eccles and Lati were also subbed and managed to not to run across the pitch
