    Ofr course it was best for everyone involved. He was finished with us, hindsight is a wonderful thing but there isn't one person who questioned his release at the time. The fact he has managed to turn his career around is no slight on us. Glad to see him enjoying football again.

    He didn’t get a fair go here he played a couple of games and never given a chance again before his injury. He then came back with what was described as a great attitude in pre season and looked very good in the matches he played and he was off. The fact that he is now playing to his potential suggest we got it wrong

    'Didn't get a fair go'? Before injury he was pretty much substituted every game. Please lets not say we got this wrong based on hindsight, he's playing well in a very poor league 2 division where the playing field hs been levelled of by corona virus. He probably woudn't get in our side now, possibly at right back but thats about it. I wish him the best but we can't keep high wage earners on board in the forlorn hope he might come good but based on no evidence. It was the right decision to let go.

    He actually started as a Midfielder at Man Utd. It was one of those situations where we were overloaded with midfielders in the u21's and low on available left backs she he got played there and did well
