    Rubbish we have seen him take us apart before at Scunthorpe. He hasn’t had a full match for ages until this match. He was better than his replacement

    Wow that's the best view I've seen of their second goal. Goalie rolls it to his player on the edge of his area who turns instantly and carries it forwards, 2 passes, 10 seconds and its in the back of our net. Compare to how we f#ck about at the back and the receiving player rarely even looks forward to see whats on.

    That's as bad as I have seen from us defending this season

    I rated Eisa. He is struggling with something old injuries or lost his mojo. He looked good at Scunthorpe but to be fair we make most opposition players look good if they have any pace. Omar patryck looked like pele against us.

    I believe his contract is up at the end of this season, given your comment with regards old injuries would you give him another contract, I wouldn't.

    I do feel sorry for him as he's had an awful run with injuries since joining us but there can't be any room for sentiment. We need to thank him for his efforts, wish him well for the future and say goodbye.

    His contract is up on 21st June that will be our choice is he stays or not, unlucky with his injuries or not we cant risk paying a player who does not play. as Fordy would say were not a charity.

    £20 bet to BBU he’s released and not offered a new contract? Let’s see the strength of your argument.

    Probably not only because if injury he is decent player and has proved it elsewhere. A fit Eisa would have been a good assett

    Agree there is nothing from his career stats that suggest he'd be any better than what we have.

    14 goals from the wing at Scunthorpe and the evidence of our own eyes seen him play a few times before he came here and impressed

    I must have missed that game, I wouldn't keep him because his long term injuries he may be unlucky with his injuries but I wouldn't want the club to take that risk.

    The game I saw him score against us if I remember correctly was from a through ball from Gilliead ?, where he was playing more central.
