So do I. I don’t wish him any ill. I just don’t think he deserved any more than he got. Who was he better than to deserve more of a chance??

Has he gone?

Most of this place had him down as their man of the match against Stoke, and he was one of our better players against Sheff Utd too. He hasn't exactly blown the opposition away, no, but I never said he was a worldbeater. He's played well when given minutes.
Most of this place did did they? They are the experts on here after all! Okay well put it this way. Is he better than our first choice CMs? No. Is he better than Mundle, Watson and Le Fee? No. Do we play with a 10? No. So where was he supposed to get more of a chance?

Very few according to Le Bris and folks like you, I don't think he let the team down at all in the games he played recently. He merited better treatment in my view and did well considering he's not a winger. I'd like to have seen him link up with Le Fee again but ain't gonna happen now.

Evidently they've got a better eye than you, pal. I personally think he should be starting on the left with Le Fee played in his natural position in the centre, at least until Mundle returns. Regis evidently disagrees though. I see him as a capable backup player that I'd be happy to have cover for injuries and come on as a sub. Fair play to him if he's not happy with that, I don't begrudge him the move, but I definitely think he still had a role to play here. All of this has digressed from my original point anyway, which was that you were being a smug arse saying people only think he's good because they don't remember seeing him. Well I do remember seeing him, because he was regularly starting just a few weeks back. And I think he's a decent player.

Just answer who he should have played ahead of. Nice lad, tries his best, let no one down. All nice things and true. But doesn’t get you “more of a chance” in a top team. So who was he better than to get more of a chance?
And he was crap against Portsmouth in his last game and got hooked. Blowing after an hour against Sheff Utd. Played okay against a pretty awful Stoke side. Even in those three games. Flashes but zero consistency. If he’s so good why is no one better than Portsmouth in for him? He doesn’t want to sit around be a back up player.
Also. Which midfielder are you sacrificing? You’re honestly sacrificing one of Jobe, Neil and Rigg to her Aouchice in. Crikey.

Is Portsmouth buying him or is it just a loan

Well we didn't play him until we had loads of injuries and even then when he did well he was out of the team. He really couldn't win could he? Le Bris should have played him in the Plymouth game and put Le Fee in the middle and not started Samed. None of us are saying he's better on the wing than Mundle or Watson but that he's a good option when injuries inevitably occur.

You’re having a go at him but he himself said “backup player”.
Loan end of season

I’d imagine he’ll be away permanently in the summer.
RLB obviously doesn’t rate him
I rather it was a permanent deal
The earlier statements centred on him deserving more of a chance and being hard done to and he should have played more. Yet no one can answer who should have made way for him. Also pretty selfish to expect a footballer to hang around as a back up. When Mundle and Watson are back he’d not even get on the bench.

Where did I mention Jobe Neil and Rigg. The player I mentioned was Samed. Keep up, stop inventing stuff.
When being the operative word.
So you’d have played Aouchice on left, Le Fee in middle and binned off Rigg? Totally disagree. Rigg should have played. Le Fee on the left is better than Aouchiche on the left.
They’re back soon enough. 17 games left. Aouchice would have done well to play more than 2 of them.
So from the team on Saturday Samed out and Aouchice in. You’ve still lost Rigg. Only got 11 players mate.

None of the midfielders played well in the Plymouth game except Le Fee in the first half. Rigg has been injured and needs managing. We'll never know if Aouchiche would have made a difference but he couldn't have done any worse.
