Fordy62 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Would’ve liked to have seen him given half the chance that Callum O’Dowda was, but hey-ho. We’ll always have that assist and that run to the corner flag when you were through on goal! Good luck Matty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he played 75 games for us and never quite showed himself to be a top half championship quality striker in that time. That being said, he’s obviously a top professional and certainly a very good player at league one level. Wish him all the best at oxford, hopefully bringing them 6 points against Rovers!

GrahamC Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Good move for him, back to his home town & got himself a 3 year deal. Was never of Championship standard but worked hard for the team & as others have said, that assist for Korey paid for him on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Best of luck Matty, will always be one of my favourites and just NOT given a chance. reckon was more of a PR job when we were on a bad run to take our minds off LJ and more on robbing the Gas.

cidercity1987 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Goals to minutes ratio was very good and a high number of assists too. He was a little unlucky here but will always be highly regarded for two reasons, the move and the MU assist. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 6 non penalties in all those games, which was why 2/3 of them were as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Good luck to him. Went as far as his ability would take him, a useful player if not quite good enough for 90 minutes in the Championship, but a useful club to have in the bag. Wish him all the best.

I think he had every opportunity, but the fact is that while he showed himself to be a useful player, and especially as an impact substitute, he never really showed enough quality to justify being a Championship regular. Great bloke though, and I wish him well at Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 He played as many minutes in the championship for city as he played for Oxford this season. I’m not exactly sure what this proves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Top bloke just a shame he didn't reach the level we hoped he would. The whole league Cup run was a fantastic memory.

Let's say of his 48 sub appearances they were for an average of 15 minutes, 1/6th of the game. 48 sub is 8 games. 9 goals in 35 full games isn't too bad and that isn't including the amount of times he was subbed off which I bet was at least 20 times in his 27 starts. Treated like a bit part player but not sure that shows the whole story of his impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford is his team as well, 30 years old - might not get that chance again And they should be in with a shout of promotion next year, got a good squad there right now.
