I must admit my disappointment with the reception Oli received from some of the Wakey fans yesterday. Especially at the start of the 2nd half when before kick off he ran to the Wakey fans applauding with his hands above his head. A fair minority boo-ed him and for many spells during the match.
I met him last season and he seemed like a genuine guy who had plenty of time for the fans. He turned in some good performances for us last year, helping us to 5th position. I am not even sure that his departure was his choice.
He seems to have a lot of respect for Wakefield, which sadly is not mutual with some of the fans. I thought that we were better than that. Will the same reception be handed out to Atkins, Grix and Snitch who all helped make last year the success it was? Now Danny Sculthorpe I can understand, he bad mouthed the club, caused problems and left under a cloud.
As for yesterday, very encouraging performance with lots of promise; how does Millard get those passes away. And Smurph (Murphy) was an absolute legend! More please
