Matt Smith's loan was incredibly successful, he wasn't here half a season but with 6 goals in 14 helping us towards promotion will always be remembered fondly. Beniks time here was incredibly frustrating and sad and to me really highlights the start of our major injury prone problems, he was a good player but in a full season on loan he only played 12 and scored 3 so was hardly prolific. He will always be remembered by me for the incredibly sad personal situation that happened while he was here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we not keep Benik Probably the fact that he did his ACL for the second time in his career after playing just 5 games? I bet if we’d shelled out a minimum of £7m for someone with a really poor injury record that everyone on here would have been absolutely delighted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheddarReds Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'm surprised that some of our fan base boo certain players. e.g. Adomah vs QPR, Pack and Flint vs Cardiff. Find it bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Maybe the injuries took their toll but even after all this time I find it incredible that (with a deal already in place) we signed Wells & didn't sign Afobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he did his ACL after 5, came back post lockdown & didn’t look the same player. I liked him, but we would have been crazy to consider buying him after that injury. Out of contract this summer, if he stays fit that is completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I've never felt the need to boo a returning ex-player, whatever the circmstances. So no exceptions tomorrow from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack did no wrong either or flinty So Albert was the player who didn't throw the ball back to us ,which resulted in the corner kick and winning goal for QPR, that's how much of a nice guy he is,? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Neither should be booed. No reason for them to be. Just like there was no reason for Albert to be booed. I think for once we did the right thing not signing both permanently. Smith was very limited and although Afobe showed early promise, doing his ACL for the second time meant he’s never been the same player. As the OP says, enjoyed their time with us though and both worth a reasonable reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fammyfan Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) We’re often quick to boo players. Unsure if I’ve missed something but boos of Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid have been disappointing. For the Millwall game, hopefully there are no boos. Particularly for MS, who had a highly successful spell here in that incredible season. Certainly worthy of a decent reception.

Seems to be hobbling ok at Millwall, much rather have Smith and Benik up top than I dont give a sh1te Wells and the free scoring Martin.
