Most liked posts in thread: Jack Payne

The second half of last season proved it and it didn’t take Bowyer long to see it. In a team desperate to stay in league one he couldn’t hold a place

 

To think you pretend all the arguing pisses you off and then you drag up old threads and twist them in an attempt to try and point score.

 

Good players handle tight marking better. I remember a couple of years a go when we had a decent team we played a poor Gillingham side we had two sometimes three players on Bradley Dack and yet he ran the show

 

That’s not the point here. Dack will play in the premier league. The point here is you said he can’t cope with league one/league two. Baffling

 

Not YET, we won't !! (Harrogate may make him their 'stellar signing', if the money is right ! )

As for the same old rubbish ? That is rubbish in itself !

Jack (the messiah) failed to ride tackles, failed to make space when multi marked (enabling space for others !!!), and rarely tracked back to help team mates, for the cause (An' when he did, he fecked up !).

SO .......... NOW I've painted him to look like Josh Wright ............ Begin your debate .........

 

Its a well known fact that players we used to think were good turn crap when they leave.

 

Which bit of "who knows" translates as "definitely is"?

You're a strange one.

 

Going well if you're having to start calling people strange over a debate, well done you.

 

Pop him on ignore, it's much easier

 

Mate are you taking the piss? Messi wouldn't cope in league two?? You're either a WUM or on incredible drugs, if it's the latter I want some.

 

Problem with Payne is he flatters to deceive. He's a very skilful player but at league one level i'd expect him to be running games the way the likes of Bradley Dack did when he was at Gillingham. I saw very little of that at Valley Parade, it may help if he moves to a better playing environment than what he had last season, but i didn't see anything in him to suggest he's near championship quality.

 

I'd be amazed if Jack Payne wasn't earning more than McCarten. and quite rightly. he's a lot better.

 

I think he got lazy . Maybe the bradford nightlife was a damning factor

 

No chance of him returning. I would definitely have him back though. I suspect he will have a queue of league 1 clubs vying for his signature

 

No, ney, never.

 

On both points, I was discussing them with a few fellow Bantams, in April .............
I firstly questioned his technical ability - Latterly, whilst being double marked out of a game .......He failed to take those same markers out of the game (shifting wide, say), allowing for his team mates to take advantage of the numbers.
And we all agreed, that defensively, he was below what we expected. There was no drive or passion, in that part of his game. I posted on here at the time, the loan fees we were paying, made him a luxury we could do without.
A very decent League one player, and far too good (and expensive) for League 2.

 

I suppose his influence from the bench in the 28 times he featured for Huddersfield, resulting in them achieving promotion to the Premier League doesn’t count? If you took the time to read reviews from Huddersfield fans, you’ll know just how instrumental his efforts were.

His release doesn’t really come as a shock. They have shit loads of coin and can now sign better. Bolly for them.

 

I'm guessing if he was that influential he would have never gone out on loan to league 1 clubs. He's technically a decent player but i just don't see a championship club taking a punt on him. There again Hanson moved to Sheffield Utd so even fantastic managers like Chris Wilder can do things we don't expect.

 

Well if he prefers Anderson to Payne, good luck to us

 

Can you provide me with a link to these glowing reviews you've been reading?
