"Not sure how many Eastwood threads this forum needs, but I think we're past repeating his poor goalscoring record, waste of huuge cash, poor atttitude, upsetting players because there is obviously a split between those like me who see this scrounging waste of oxygen gypsy for never being good enough and those who seem to worship him despite all of the above but quickly dismiss others of better character for reasons only known to them. Anyhow I look forward to posting this drivel on other FE threads between now and when he eventually feks off still having achieved nothing. HE has no respect for the fans and will laugh at us suffering in L1 whilst he sits in his luxury caravan."
Would you also prefer Jeffers ROD etc in-place of Marlon King because of his past record of being a bad boy???
"He scores goals Marlon" - there lies the difference. I would welcome him back with open arms tomorrow despite the bad blood at the start of the season because he is one of the few who would have the quality to give us a chance of getting out of this mess. He has obvious quality FE is not in that category.
Also, when you're all taking a pop at our striking contingent, I'm not happy with what we have either. However that's not their fault. They are puting a shift in and that's why they remain in contention.
ROD sadly will never be good enough at this level. He has pace, he's a trier and he has finished at the league below but he seems to still lack in a couple of key departments. Better defenders with a bit of experience will handle him and thats why he is more capable at a level below (which is also true of Cody and Eastwood's records).
Cody Mac has had a poor start but was brought into a poor losing team and never hit the ground running. He has not had a pre-season and has little or no experience at this level. It takes time and he could still be ok despite showing nothing yet, but still very early to warrant the level of criticism he gets on here.
Platt does a job. Not outstanding, not a goalscorer but a team player and there are times when its right for him. He should rarely be first choice but that's a factor of the position we find ourselves in.
Finally Jefffers and this is the one that really irks me. This young lad has barely played. He's a local lad and a product of our youth team. The fact that in desperate times he is lumped in along with ROD as in this post above as poor alternative is so damaging for the lad. Why isn't he given time or afforded the chance to make mistakes? How much have you seen of him? He may never make the grade but City 'fans' who don't give them a chance really pissses me off as much as any bad board or manager.
