room0035 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Will be interest to see how much Oxford pay for him and how long before he ends up in the championship or higher. by all accounts has done well in Scotland but need to be playing at a higher level to show if he is good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think he should have stayed with us but I’m not bitter about it. His career could be worse. This guy seems way in the past considering what’s happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbone Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't think this is the fall from grace that some people are making out it is. He's joined a team who will be expected to get promoted to the Championship next season, so could easily be lining up against us in 12 months, or dare I say it, playing in a division higher than us in the worst case scenario. I'm sure he'll be on a good wage and have a nice place down there too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't really understand the desperation for him to fail Same with George Hirst You're like sad jilted lovers. Quite sad from (supposedly) grown men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j17tjp Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Elliot Frear was signed for free then given away for free by Forest Green Rovers... i saw him play in League2 a few times - his signing softens the blow ?? in that case, I don’t think we’re missing Clare at Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Therealrealist Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Inspector Lestrade said: Not sure who it was against but in one game he really looked the part looked so comfortable on the ball. Thought that if he could maintain that level then he has a future in Championship football. Would be interesting to know his and his agents thought process why they took the decisions they did. If he gets plenty of game time then hopefully a club higher up will notice him, and he can get his career back on track. It was villa at home..then he went all billy big ballax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 To be honest he could be swapping divisions with us next season so I wouldn’t call it a poor move for the lad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chap who has played and contributed to a club gets more stick than someone who has never played for a club (unless the player in question left the club when he was crap, that's okay).

Like a competition at who can mess it up the most. Down to him that in fairness. He didn’t quite make the grade at Hearts so he has had to drop down a level again to build his career. Got (deserved) pelters for his early performances but when he moved to full back he looked better. Stendel got more out of him too but he has gone now as well. To be fair mate I think it’s doubtful he’d have done much at Hillsborough either if he had stayed. He got a big pay rise going to Edinburgh, played in front of a full house every second week, played in cup semis and finals, derby matches and old firm games, and trained in an excellent setup. I can see why he did it. If he was more of a success then he probably would have got a better move than this one. I wish him well, he improved as time went on at Hearts but he’s not a massive loss for Hearts and he wasn’t for Wednesday either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
