    As the thread asks ........ Have you been impressed, even if just a wee bit ?

    PAYNE
    Without a doubt, an outstanding performer ......... In 2018 :(

    ROBINSON
    One of the few (early) glimmers of hope. Raw and naive, but talented and brave enough.

    J O'BRIEN
    A shame we couldn't secure his services - despite his injury record (Remember Killa ?).

    L O'BRIEN
    A shining star that has recently gone off the boil.

    CADDIS
    Of late, ditto L O'Brien. A shame, a good player surrounded by mediocrity, or less. :(

    I'm failing to see any beyond those few.

    L Obrien for playing like the other 10 should have . And Jacob Butterfield when playing a more forward role. And Scannell in the few games he has played

    Payne - pre Feb

    Caddis

    LOB - most consistent player of the season, not bad for hjs first season at first time level

    JOB - shame he left for another club so soon

    Paudie - only seen him a couple of times, but impressive in both games

    Funny how Robinson not playing for the best part of the season has turned him into a world beater?

    Think like most Caddis and O'Brien will take the plaudits. Jim O'Brien was good at what he did when not injured.
    Brunkner for trying :p (joke)

    Who mentioned 'world beater' ? :confused:

    In his few appearances he certainly played better than 90% of our squad have.
    IF you're going to 'nit pick' ........... Grab someone with nits, OK ? :D

    Doesn’t take a lot to be better than 90% of the current squad! Seems to be a lot of misplaced confidence in Robinson, especially given that his absence was down to his own stupid fault.

    It was widely acknowledged at the time when he was playing he was making a positive contribution, Wigan away comes to mind. He's not been charged with anything yet, the law of the land is innocent until proven guilty, you should follow that too.

    So .......... Robinson is NOW guilty ?
    According to whom ? YOU ?? Phutt !!

    Robinson only made a few appearances EARLY on, but those suggested there was a 'player' in there.
    I didn't mention his circumstances, for obvious reasons.

    It reads (from your post) YOU actually know better.
    So please feel free to share your knowledge........... If you have any .................

    I'm enjoying the people tweeting him saying he should be back with us and in the team and he's our best winger and such - I wonder if he's found guilty of his alleged crimes they'll be saying the same thing..

    He probably is though Ricc, Scannels been out all season and we haven't had a winger so I'd probably say he is our best winger? I imagine if he's found guilty people won't want him at Bradford, pretty obvious?

    I just think it might be wise to keep powder dry on how he should be back with the team until the outcome of the investigation is known.

    No. As they are all misfits. Put one player in a different squad and they may well be very different, but the group as a whole is broken and doesn’t work.

    Strange one this and I don't fully understand it. I know of a player in our division who is currently in court with some potentially heavy charges but is still featuring regularly for his club and we played against him very recently. Makes me wonder what the difference is between the two and why one has been allowed to play by his club and another hasn't?

    What I do find wrong is whether guilty or not is the length of time it takes to decide whether to proceed not fair on him or the complainant

    To be honest Park I'm not clued on the legal system, I just don't understand how one player is facing charges and is suspended, and another is facing changes but yet is scoring goals in our division, very odd.
