I think he was expected to be this season's Greer (on loan, older, experienced, potentially looking for a permanent move), but he hasn't had the impact Greer did when we got him in to save us the other year. He seems to get beat very easily from crosses, and is slower than continental drift.

It's fair to say I don't rate him.

Without sounding arrogant, I could've told you he wasn't the answer before he signed for us. But he hasn't been any worse than any of the other defenders this season.

I would try and sign him if/when we are in League 2 next season, the style would suit him down there. I think he's useless at this level and his lack of pace gets exposed more or less every week.

Whilst our defense isn't as good as last season it really hasn't been a problem recently (Southampton away being the exception).

I'm much more concerned with upfront. Andrew looks to be a useful player and his workrate is exceptional, but he isn't going to score many (Any) goals. Grella's current rate of 1 in 4 won't save us and Benyon is as balsa wood as Corr.

Dossevi and Pericard - Yeah.....

I thought that in his first game he was going to be the answer to our problems, but sadly his performances have tailed off badly in my opinion.

Difficult to put the blame solely on Frampton but hey why not the bloke`s about as good as his fellow defenders...shite...I would ask Pericard to have a go there he cant be worse than where he plays at the moment....

I have been saying for weeks that this bloke is poor. Having said that he would probably be ok once we are in the 4th division. If we do stay up I would not touch him with a barge pole.

I wasn't convinced he would be the saviour Wilson thought but then again every player has under performed this season.

Thought he played well against Tranmere but not been impressed since.

I think our defence looks a lot better since he's been there. It may not be down to him, but I suspect he is helping the other defenders. It's not a coincidence that we are now concerned about the other end of the pitch wheereas we were always confident we'd score pre Xmas, but then we'd let in as many or more than we put away.
Rather Cuthbert & Frampton, than Cuthbert & Morrison.

He's been poor recently but has shown what he can do. Not sure if he's worth a contract to be honest. It all depends on who is available in the summer really.

Maybe Misun or Flint?

I think he's OK. Still got too many centre backs though, so he might well be let go. The board might want to go with two youngsters at the back again next season, which would be risky given it was such a big problem at the start of this season. But it is the stated policy of the club to put their trust in young players.

I think we should get rid regardless of division we're in. There will be plenty of defenders on a free in the Summer.

Not necessarily plenty of quality ones, as we have found out to our cost this season.

If they aren't shit when we sign them, they soon are. I think there'll be plenty of decent defenders who can kick their way out of Div 4.

Besides which Milan Misun might actually be good.

Or not.

He's like Robin Hood - rumoured to exist but nobody has been able to provide any conclusive proof. Have we had the scarf over the head photo yet?

I don't think its possible to capture his image. He also can't go out in sunlight. But he'll be shit hot or midweek night games.

Not quite head of scarf, but nearly as good.

I'm guessing the other bloke is Jorden Pavett?
