    Having a great game for Brighton tonight, shame successive managers at Oakwell failed to get the best out of him.

    Yeah because he's been an absolute revelation for Brighton so far.

    He will always look good in a better side, one that can afford to carry him.

    Difficult to get the best out out him when he was hardly selected!
    Hope he succeeds at Brighton.

    Very talented player but faulty as a crow everywhere he has been.

    Liability , just travelling around picking up a years wages per stay.

    Should haVe had a top career but is basically wasting it.

    I'll always remember him, and for good reasons. Good luck to him.

    The shame is that he failed to get the best out of himself.

    I thought Flicker did get the best out of him.

    In 5 or 6 games, pity his career seems to be that of a journey man, he has much more skill than most , yet his career is hardly a glittering one , shame.

    Spot on with that, but I think he worked as hard for Flitcroft as he's ever done. I know you're not a fan of Flicker, and I'm much happier with the manager we have now, but there's no doubt Flitcroft got a hell of a lot more out of McCourt than Wilson did.

    Just a pity that even that was not enough to warrant a full time place in the team. Enigmatic is a word that sums Paddy up totally ! Could have , should have, never did !

    I never had a problem with Flicker as a manager, I never called for him to be sacked. I did and still do, have a loathing for him as a person!

    So he does nothing for 2 months & the first time he has a good game (against a league 2 side) it's used on here to have a dig at our club?

    Seems a bit harsh.

    I hope this isn't going to be the case when fellow wastes of space Mellis, Cwyka, Shea, Frimpong etc manage to be arsed to put a shift in 4-5 times a season

    It's used to have a veiled dig at the manager

    Yeah if he tried harder he'd be playing at a better level.
