it’s easy to be a **** about him after the fact. He came back from one very serious injury, had a run of games and proved to be one of our best fullbacks, before getting another very serious injury. He was absolutely talented enough to make it in the prem before the injury, and you couldn’t possibly have known he was ruined now by the latest injury.

It’s a real shame for the lad and I’ll never understand why some of our fans need to write players off so early just that they can get an ‘I told you so’ in if they’re right. How about supporting them instead maybe?

He’s finished

hopefully can sell him in January and free up some wages.

No room for sentiment if we want to progress.

I agree.

Nothing against the lad but he needs to move to get regular football if he’s over the injury issues.

Was excellent for us just before that 2nd injury. Hopefully does well at Wycombe so a club takes a chance on him when his contract runs out.

There's a good potential championship player there if he can stay fit.

If he can come back to what he was before injury he could be a mid table prem player imho.

It’s a phenomenally large IF mind, in preseason he looked a shadow of himself sadly.

Hurt himself picking up his wages slip.

Sorry. I don’t often call out posters here, if ever. But that’s uncalled for. The lad has had tremendous bad luck and when he was fit and had a run of games he was really good.

As a slight aside, my sister is friends with his family – his mam was a teaching assistant at my niece and nephew’s school in York – and she says he’s the loveliest lad and the family are great too.

It’s not about the money or the fame for him. You can tell that. He just loves playing football. A real shame that he’s had these setbacks. Whatever the future holds for him, I wish him all the luck.

There’s a contingent of posters who like nothing better than to gleefully stick the boot into players who have had serious, career threatening injury problems through no fault of their own, and even though when they have been fit they’ve put 100% effort and contributed (Huggins, Cirkin, Alese)

I’ve always found it pretty weird, bet there’s a fair few who are incapable of running round the block too

Yup, I think it’s very weird. Can only think that something is probably missing somewhere in their own lives.

Slightly related to this is the by now crushingly boring ‘made of Twiglets/crisps’ meme on here. Ah well, each to their own I guess.
 
After the playoffs my biggest worry was that the club would enter the season continuing to nurse through Cirkin, Alese, Huggins and ending up with Hjelde getting minutes. Thankfully that hasn’t happened. Through injury, contract situations or being nowhere near the level required I don’t think we will see at least 3 of the 4 mentioned in the first team again. Probably all 4 if I m being honest. I think Alese has the highest ceiling out the 4 but he just doesn’t seem to have a body that can hold up. Shame.
