Quote: barham red "Mediocre was probably badly worded on my part. What I was trying to say was that he came on like he could be the next big thing then his application seemed to go downhillHis technique became seemingly lazy and he became a penalty machine, laying on too long and struggling (or not trying hard enough) to win the collision so leaving hands in. It was certainly not down to ability but almost as if he wasn’t putting in the hard work in training, becoming complacent?? This was backed up by Sandercock not even picking him (and the rumours around his attitude being off) then his ultimately being allowed to leave without a fight.
I’ve not seen enough of him this year (only your tv games and the derbies) but what I have seen seems very reminiscent of his latter months with us. Must admit I thought he’d bucked his ideas up in his first few months with you.'"
Seems about right to me. I'd strongly dispute the idea that he's been one of our best forwards this year. I think he's been relatively poor.
