Lord Snooty Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, Whatahoot said: Yep agreed on Boyd, he has huffed and puffed and scored a couple, but his contribution has not lived up to pre owls hype. Some injury issues, but I put him in the frustrating bracket really. That double operation set him back a lot didn't it. Mind...Could be said it did him a favour as we embarked on that really negative spell. Think it will be interesting where Boyd plays next season seeing as he's predominantly been a right sided midfielder/attacker in his career and he's ended up at left wing back. Lot of work to be done in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, don't hang about, we need to know exactly what we need as soon as possible to fill the gaps. Yes I thought that would be the case too. But surely more than Wallace have been released, so why have those players/agents not come out and said so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A great signing and a top pro. unfortunately it was his position that needed improving during last season as Carlos’ 442 struggled without a pacy and creative winger, and Reach cost £5m so it was the right side that needed changing. But that was never Ross’ fault. If I was him I would go back up to Scotland to a Rangers or Aberdeen and be one of the best players in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Great player, enjoyed watching him play, never went hiding and scored some memorable goals. Thanks Ross, good luck for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why the shirts were 3 months, late, player get signed for twice the price in the last days of transfer windows, player come in that we don't need on silly contract lengths and so on. The less that DC has to do with the day to day running of the club going forward can only be a good thing, football decisions will be made and hopefully the team and club will move forward stronger. Lets see how long it takes for the new shirts to be available for the fans to buy this coming season and for how much - this one thing will tell everyone if a) he has planned properly this time and b) he is not just trying to milk the fans for silly prices.

Lot of work to be done in the summer. It may well be that he is as frustrated with his form as most of us are. Lets hope he has a better season next year, needs to for sure.

striker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 He's been a great signing, contribution has diminished slightly over the last season or so as his age and injuries have taken their toll, but he always played for the shirt and produced some moments of genuine quality. Best of luck to him in the next phase of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Think this tells us we may well be going with 3 at the back and wingbacks next season as wallace would have been a player i may have expected to stay had Jos had any intention of playing any sort of 4-4-2 formation.

By letting him know that he is being released as early as possible gives him longer to find a new club though his contract does not expire until the end of June.

Yeah he’s never done anything that makes sense, apart from the thing that you’re replying to that makes sense. Wait, are you saying that it doesn’t make sense to release the players early?

wednesdaywizard Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I am certainly going to miss your Thunderchuffers, Ross. I stood up, fell down and stood up again before the goal against Brighton at home went in. Thanks for the memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Didn’t realise he has just been released. Quality footballer, full of character and always up for the big games. You could always rely on Ross to deliver. It’s probably the right decision, we need to get the average age of the squad down and we also have Boyd who can play a similar role. However, he will be missed - a proper character which you see less in football nowadays. I wish him well in his future career - I think Wigan and Blackburn will take a look. He lives that way and he can still cut in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I just watched his goals compilation, he did score some beauties. This added to fond memories of some of his other "stuff" made him one of our successes of the past 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
