calm down, cor blimey. im not the only one that didnt rate him you know.
anyway, of course i dont have anything personal against the lad, i dont even know him, i just happened to watch him play for my football team (very badly i might add) therefore as with everyone who thinks he was good i am allowed my opinion and i think he wasnt.
i said, and note, read it thoroughly 1 (one) of the worst right backs (not the worst or one of the worst players in general, there have been far worse) "I" (me, myself, my opinion) have seen in a torquay shirt.
i can only judge him on what i saw. i havent seen him that often to be fair because i havent been to games in the last few seasons as much as i would like to. (from what ive heard i didnt miss much).
opinions are subjective and from what i saw of the player he was poor, i am only judging him on what i saw. in the other games he may have been world class, but i didnt see them, but from what i have heard from friends, family and associates they didnt rate him either.
like i said he was poor in all the games i have seen him, especially vs barnet, a game we really needed to win, everyone had to step up to the mark and most did but he was the worst player on the pitch, i was sat in the family stand right in line with where he was playing (or where he was supposed to be) and trust me he was awful, his positioning, tackling, passing, everything. i was sat there despairing and thinking of some of the right backs we have had who were any good, and getting well uptight.
i never at any matches got on the lads back or had a go, i encourage and support every player who plays for our club, i want them all to play well and do well.
indeed, after the barnet game i wrote a bit about my take on the match in the matchday thread and although i wrote there were 2 players not good on the night and 1 in particular, i would not say who or slag either off. i said i would not slag off any player until the season had ended.and i didnt. that isnt very positve, supportive or productive and wouldnt do any good at all, especially if the player reads it.
even if i think a player is crap, i do hope next time or the time after they will play well and prove me wrong.
after all isnt that one of the reasons why we continue to keep going to watch our club, even when they are rubbish and not playing well we keep turning up and hoping this time we will play well, this time we will win.its the same way i think with individual players.most players have bad spells and we keep supporting them , hoping they click, play well and get it right.
i mentioned my rating of the player when we were talking about retain or release
AFTER the season finished.
like i said its not personal, just a different opinion, i can only say what i have seen.there have been worse, i didnt call him the worst just one of the worst, which just means he isnt great or good or one of the best.
however i do wish him well, thank him for his services, best wishes and good luck, i hope he finds himself another club and proves me wrong.
