What happened to him?

Looks like he is in finland!  :-))(

yeah HJK Helsinki this was posted a few months back, how we miss a goal scoring midfielder, id have him back here in a heartbeat, forget all that bristol city stuff, he scores goals and a goal scoring midfielders are worth their weight in gold

he's never shown the sort of form he did in the second part of that season though.

thats the only time hes had a decent run of games though

true!

never understood why he was used so sparingly early on by king, whilst players like hewlett were in the lineup every week. even in those rare appearances he did fairly well - iirc he p;layed left-back in the play-off semi-final and was one of our best players.

he did indeed play left back for the game at Brighton, i bet he regrets leaving us so much now, when he was here all all was saying was how he never has had a decent run in a team to show what he could do, we give him it and he leaves and goes back to sitting on the bench at Bristol City

He could have become somewhat of a legend here, instead he is a cunt and has done fuck all since leaving Swindon.

He wasnt that good. He hit a good spell of form, and fair play to him helped rocket us up the table for 3 months. He played for Walsall for a long spell, if he was any good he would have shone there, but he got moved on again.

Same as Rhys Evans, both terrible decisions to leave Swindon.

Brian Howard is the attacking midfield player we should want back in a flash, not Grant Smith.

He did play a cracker - apart from moving his fat arse out of the way for Brighton's goal at the County Ground. Had he just closed down we'd have made the final.

yeah but smith would be a realistic target, altho we have got £3m to splash on Howard now  :D

I see your point. I like the McGovern - Peacock - Easton - Roberts midfield a lot though. Injuries seem to be our downfall at the moment.

I agree, its a good blend that midfield, especially when Roberts and McGovern can be arsed

Grunt Sniff.....best insulting name change ever. FACT

 :soapy tit wank:
Of course he also had the misfortune of having to play in the chavtastic Shitty kit of that season as well,i remember we all had a right laugh at that at the time as well :D

That gold and light blue kit was nothing other than horrendous!

like u say injuries are key, last week we had a midfield of Easton, Allen Pook and Mohamed

i still don't rate JP, would rather see sofi and roberts out wide despite his inconsistency.

i'd have howard back in a flash.

im undecided bout McGovern his delivery isnt in question, but just needs a bit more about him

he can cross but i think his positional sense is fairly poor and drifts inside far too much. he doesn't run at players like sofi and roberts do either.

sofi is an excellent crosser of the ball when he has time to look up....shame he's such a mercurial talent

it wasnt a coinsidence that the few times he stayed wide and linked up with Miguel we played decent football and scored from it

JP plays well when he gets given the ball out wide, when he doesnt get any service he's usless and goes out of position to get the ball.

Good player when used properly!

i agree with dv.

how often do you see jpm back-pedalling to keep the ball in play with his head?

at least twice a half.

if he got the ball to his feet more often then we'd have more chance to see what he can do.
