Often gets back when we're facing a counter, can offer something going forward. Offers himself as an outlet more than most. Given we could have had another Iacovitti or Smith-Brown, I think he's done alright. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone saying Hamer deserves a contract when Nepo deserves the door is not saying that based on performance. I'd like to see both upgraded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he seems disinterested to me now (understandably so after half a season playing understudy to Hamer or being played out of position) so I’d let him go and take a chance on Mo finding someone better...I won’t be holding my breath mind.

Nepo is 27 this is the peak of his career. Tom Hamer is 20 if hes given the right environment and if he pulls his finger out and he applies himself and improves he will get better and play at a better level than this. Thats what its down too. Would I be racist for saying Giles Coke was a bad signing or Chris Eagles was a bad move aswell? 3 hours ago, Matt said: Really? I'm calling Poe's Law on this one. Matt if you feel thats racist and yes I can see why it reads that way then I apologise. But ultimately I don't believe the foreign players brought in by the Lemsagams have been good enough to take the club forwards and the results on the pitch back this up.

Piergianni was born in Peterborough so why would he be considered a foreigner? Do you perhaps have a cognitive blind spot because of his surname? Give it a rest and try to add to the conversation rather than making every post one which is clearly trolling. If you can’t manage that, maybe consider your next reincarnation as “Dodo” and fuck the fuck off. Time to add Phoenix to the list of ignored users Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t call him crap, I think that’s a bit harsh, but the more I see of him the more I see a winger who doesn’t go past full backs with any pace and when he’s on the right wing he always always always has to cut inside into his left foot because he can’t do anything with his right foot. Ok occasionally he’ll cut inside and get the odd goal but he looks so one dimensional. I think we need an upgrade. Same goes for Branger-Engone as well. I’ve no idea what’s happened to him but he’s gone downhill rapidly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rudemedic 1,377 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Clubfootkilkenny said: He shouldn’t be playing if he’s not fit then! He is fit, just if he falls the wrong way his shoulder is likely to dislocate again. He'll probably need an operation if that happens. It's be very unusual for that not to affect anyone's mentality. Has Mills had a bad game? He's the sort of player that will be a 5 to 8 out of 10 every game so isn't a 1 to 4 or 9 or 10. You need players like that in your squad no matter the level. He's also been pretty versatile, again an attribute needed for squads. I think lots of us questioned his signing in the summer given the success of Hamer. But to say he is a crap signing is way off the mark. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
