Davefevs Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Think there are some little things for him to work on in his game, but getting him signed up til 2026 was very important. Nice interview too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Comes across as a lovely bloke & I’m so pleased for him that he turned his career around. Assume that certain questions were “off limits” but would have liked him to be asked how he dealt with effectively being told that he could leave by Nige a year or so ago. The contrast with Taylor Moore is always the one I come back to, they were in very similar circumstances but the outcome was totally different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I can’t recall a player being written off by the ENTIRE fan base and then going on to being one of our best players two years later. A good reminder that as fans we really have no idea on a players ceiling 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sometimes I had doubts but I was always optimistic. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good reminder that as fans we really have no idea on a players ceiling I definitely never wrote him off. Don't get me wrong, I've been wrong about many players over the years, but I always stuck by Zak. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good reminder that as fans we really have no idea on a players ceiling I can say I never wrote him off. I could never understand why a player with 100 games at this level (some with Rotherham) was labelled “league one at best”. He now has over 150 games at this level. @cidered abroad agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 1 hour ago, And Its Smith said: Fair play if you never wrote him off. You are very much in the minority there I also never wrote him off. Never thought he was as bad as people made out. That summer that Pearson publicly said 4 players need to leave, he was the only one I was happy to keep. Although I did think it would be better for him to move on at the time. Never a right back though, at CB he’s continuing to improve almost every week. Pity he’s out today, think we’ll miss him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really fair to say the ENTIRE fanbase had written him off, but it was a significant percentage, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw a post last night saying someone saw a FB post saying there was an injury today, but that they couldn’t find it. @Carey 6 has form for the odd bit of ITK.

Davefevs Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Has some damage to his ACL, gonna have to see if his knee can be stable with it. Suggests strained his ACL rather than ruptured it, but club going to be seeking advice re best approach. Out 5-6 weeks Nige suggested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
