    It's up to him now to grasp this opportunity and show much more than he has done for us.,
    I'm sure the last game he played for us was in the admittedly meaningless cup game against Donny where he was one of our senior players but totally missed his opportunity to make any impression and Clarke hasn't involved him since.

    One of the last signings I was genuinely excited about. Injuries decimated his spell with us but even putting them to one side he didn’t deliver on his obvious talent. Still I wish him nothing but the best.

    Wish him all the best. He’s been absolutely plagued with injury. Obviously a sensible move, however I’d be interested to see how much of his wages they’re picking up. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was more about giving him a chance at game time, than releasing wages. Given his injury record, if I were any other Club I wouldn’t be paying much of his wages.

    Honestly he looked a decent player but broke down every time he came back into the side sadly for all parties it’s been a frustrating period of time let’s not forget this was probably our last major cost signing and once again will be leaving on a free with little to no real footballing memories made - it’s rotten bad luck and I feel for everyone concerned a change if scenery will be the best as I’m sure Josh must be as frustrated as anyone in all this.

    He looked a talented player and let's be honest no player wants his career to be constantly blighted by injury. I hope he is able to have an extended injury free spell and a future career.

    Honestly shocked anyone is willing to take a chance on him, given his injury record. His career is on the line if things don't improve. I do wish him well though.

    I don't think he wants to start at all never mind a fresh one. I think that's been a lot of his trouble

    Why try to make an argument, that is just the impression he gives off to me.

    So you think he's happy to sit it out rather than pursue the one thing he's probably been striving for since he was a kid?

    Well the few games he has played for us in 4 years, in between the injuries he hasn't looked interested , to me , MY OPINION, like you have yours. Except for his first ever game for us which I would say he was trying to impress his new bosses
