Bloke spends more time with doctors and physios than he does with coaches and managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 18 hours ago, GrahamC said: Of those who left us this summer only O’Dowda & Palmer got a gig at our current level, O’Dowda was credited with the assist for Cardiff’s goal, so fair play to him, that’s a very decent start. I saw Palmer’s complete non event of a sub appearance today (he still gives away those ridiculous free kicks late on). Bakinson didn’t even get off the bench in L1 & Cundy got the hook at Plymouth at HT. I read one of the regular contributors to the Post say that some of those we have moved on this summer could bite us on the arse, I’m genuinely baffled as to who he is possibly referring to. Even if Palmer, Co’D or Bakinson pulled up trees at their new clubs, I’d not feel we had been “bitten on the arse”. All three had lost their way here, were looking unlikely to feature and needed a move to try to get back on track so I’m not going to get upset about players recapturing form they were never realistically going to recapture here. Cundy is the only one I think we will slightly miss and, even then, the fact he was likely to be fifth and only feature when we had injuries was likely a big part of the reason he left. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my take too & even in the case of Cundy, he’s slow & his distribution is fairly ordinary, so I didn’t shed any tears that he took up Barnsley’s offer instead. Like you I could see a spot in the squad for him if he had wanted it, but he didn’t & so both sides move on. I’ll watch with interest how he gets on up there, bearing in mind of course it is a level down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Cundy was pretty decent and did a good job for us when we called upon him to make that step, but he's probably better getting consistent time at L1 than occasional appearances in the Championship. He might still develop into a more-than-ordinary player in his late 20s and be the grade the second-tier demands. Sometimes you have to step backwards to move forwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 The irony is that Cundy would probably have started on Saturday in place of Vyner, but certainly when everyone is fit he'd have been 5th choice at best so I can't blame him in the slightest for wanting to drop a level to play more regularly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
