'Orns Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 What makes him so bad at Championship level? Lack of pace? Bang on mate! Will do you a cracking job in L1 though. He was awesome when we got promoted, and scored some vital goals in the first season up, but has been found out big time since. Any news on a fee? Good luck for next season, Clark is building a good squad there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clue about the fee He's certainly not out of contract or been released, so I guess that some money must be changing hands. £100k max I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Jamie had a good first season in the championship and our Wembley defeat may have been different if McCombe had not have been sick! McCombe was player of the season in our promotion season, however he seemed to loose confidence the more Championship games he played...Great signing for Huddersfield, however I'm not onvinced That Mr Coppell is not going to want to take a look first!

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 McCombe was excellent in our first season in the Championship. Started last season injured but played through the injury and it showed in several poor performances. Last season, if McCombe was thought to be 'not up to Championship standard' before eventually succumbing to the injury he was playing through then it must be said that our worst defensive performances were when McCombe was absent - Cardiff and Rotherham for instance. If McCombe is judged on that admittedly alarming few games as not being Championship standard then the same charge could certainly be laid at the feet of Louis Carey, Liam Fontaine, Bradley Orr and Lewin Nyatanga who all had similar abysmal runs of dreadful form during the season leading to goals conceded. I'm going to go against the general opinion expressed on this thread. McCombe was playing through injury which led to a couple of high profile mistakes and a subsequent marked diminishing of confidence. However he is a top notch League 1 defender and an adequate Championship stopper when fit who always gives 100% and can even be outstanding at this level. A great signing for Huddersfield if true and I for one think he will quickly become a crowd favourite for them and very likely feature successfully in the Championship again in the future. Good luck to the Bullet Heading Man Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Interestingly I was told two transfers in and two out last week, one of which was McCombe going (I wasn't told where, only up North). Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 What makes him so bad at Championship level? Lack of pace? That and his distribution from the back...he's a hoofer. Great player for us in L1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbert Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 He's a good player who i think will do well for you. As already said he played through injury which did not enhance his performance hence the negativity from some of our followers. Makes the odd mistake like all but will give you 100% and should prove to be a good signing. Good luck to him if he goes. He,s a top bloke of the pitch as well !

Sargent Pepper Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Will be sad to see him go if true. Not the most mobile by any means but gives it everything. His goal at donny will live with me forever! His overhead kick vs hull wasn't bad either!! Top bloke too, he'll be a great signing for you, I hope he does well.

Kingswood Village Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Seems like a decent bloke - didnt his brother play at Huddersfield? At championship level though he was in my opinion poor. Sometimes seemed that he was playing in clown shoes as unable to kick the ball straight and prone to gaffs etc. Good signing at lg1 level but when Huddersfield are promoted (as i believe they will be) they will probably also look to replace him...... Up the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'm sad to see him go, because when fit and playing with confidence I thought he was a good Championship player. However, we are looking to move beyond that now, and I would expect his departure to signal the arrival of someone a cut above a "good" player at this level . Good luck Jamie if you are going - you're a top bloke into the mix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 A very traditional English centre back. Top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Of The Dolman Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I am pretty sure John McCombe did play for Huddersfield. Think Coppell will want to have at least a look at him unless he saw enough in the DVD's from last season that meant he wasn't going to be in the first team plans for this season.

Evy11_BCFC Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Bit sad to say that this 100% true and will sign officially for Huddersfield on tuesday. Not that disappointed to be honest. Whilst he did a good job for us in League 1 and involved in our fantastic first season in the Championship, the last couple of season's he's been injury prone and clumsy in the games he has played. Good servant, great League 1 player, but the right time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrussian Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 His late goal against donny was one of my best city memories as was johnson's quote about him being Dixie dean and all that. Great character, wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
