Has he played against us since he left? Poor player for Barnsley but managed to forge a very respectable career considering he dropped to non-league level. I imagine he'll be on the bench tonight but if he gets on it'll be interesting to see how hes developed in the 7 years since he left.
Lots of examples. Others like Chris Wood, Jay Rodriguez and Jon Walters spring to mind for being rubbish for us but good elsewhere. Even the case with managers with Hill above us, Flicker doing well and Alex Neil doing well.
He was highly regarded by Mark Smith when he was in the academy. I always thought he was a bit of a lightweight.
