    On today's effort I would agree.

    But i think he's a slow starter.

    He's burst through Championship defences on his own 3 times to my remembering. (No we didn't score)

    He has pace (unless his latest injury has crocked him). Pace and a bit of control,

    He'll go in January.

    He's been great for us as a right-sided centre back, especially in a 3. I don't think he's great as a RB/RWB but we need to have faith in Duff and where he plays him and hope he improves. I definitely don't think we should have got rid off him when George left. He was excellent under Struber too

    With our defence and attack it's not going to be 1999-2000 season that's for sure. Get ready for 0-0 and 1-0 aplenty.

    I have seen the odd moment of skill but the vast majority have been poor performances. I just don't rate him. He certainly doesn't pull up any trees at wing back, which with his attributes you would expect he would be well suited.

    A drop in opposition level might suit him and hopefully someone comes in with a few quid.

    Not fit to lace the boots of our last League one team of the year right back.

    Flipping heck he only played his first match of the season the other night. Give him a chance to get back to full fitness and get used to once again being part of a system put together by a head coach who knows what he's doing.

    There was nothing to go on today I agree. Apart from their winger knew he'd never get past him on the outside

    Just ******* ban Hemsworth from this site. I've tried blocking him but it doesn't work because he pollutes threads with his bilge and you have to unblock him to make head nor tail anyway.

    He just posts bile time after time. I love coming on here and posting. And reading stuff from my fellow Reds fans. But this Manchild just spoils its. He's a complete tool. Hate him.

    Just get lost.

    My opinion isn't based on just one appearance. It's been fairly consistent for a while now.

    However, I obviously wouldn't mind if he proved me wrong.

    Whilst I definitely agree with you when he plays as the fb, I think youre being a tad harsh on him when he plays cb bud. Though obviously you're very entitled to your opinion. I think he'll have a very good career if he can mute the injuries. Problem is, I do think his game is aided massively by his pace & stamina, and unfortunately with the amount he gets injured, I think it'll definitely affect those attributes sooner rather than later

    He isn't Cafu but then if he was he'd not be playing for us. He's had such bad luck with injuries he makes Richard Kell look an ever present. If he manages to stay fit he will one way or another be a key player next season with the five subs rule and with him being able to play in more than one position.

    I know I’m in a minority on here but I really like Jordan Williams. Plays his best football in a 3, but can do a job at wing back.

    That said we could do with another RWB. If they come as a first choice and Williams ends up as a kind of utility back up man he’s still a good guy to have in the squad in my opinion.

    Higgy must be trolling if he thinks Cundy isn’t up to it. He’ll be a heck of a player for us at this level.

    That's all he knows what to do.

    Couldn’t disagree more. If he could stay fit he is championship quality.

    Its this type of post that needs to stop. His post on this thread is just his thoughts and is not offensive in any way, I think its rubbish what he has wrote and i dont agree with the criticisn of our players but what you have wrote is worse.

    I tried to block him. Tried to ignore him. But you can't do it. It's impossible. He just clogs up thread after thread having a go at our players unless they were conceived at Chelsea Academy. It's probably time for me to stop posting here whilst he's posting I reckon.

    I'll give that a go.

    You dont need to stop posting at all, that would be a shame and we all lose out by you not posting anymore.

    I did what you have done when he was here years ago and I regret it now. Try to think what effect your words may have on the person and their mental health.
    If he is abusive pull him up, i will, if its just his opinion then try not to react even if you think it is rubbish or reply without the personal insults.

    Cheers its something i feel strongly about.

    Tbf mate he’s just posting his opinion. There are others who are way more offensive and abusive. I get there is potentially something obsessive and repetitive in the style and method of posts that get under peoples skins - but there may be other reasons for that.

    Just try to ignore mate, if it really bothers you that much. Easier said than done, I know.
