I felt Akinola was a genuine talent who was gradually losing himself - I expected we'd play him when we got him back, to see if there was something in there, but when we didn't I just didn't get it .....
Madden used to be pretty good but Stockport's eagerness to get rid surely said it all. Maybe York would like him on loan?
Colclough has ability, but he is always getting into great positions to which lacks both the brains and the cool to provide the finish. On field he is thick. Off field, it's looking as though the MENSA application may be surplus to requirements too. Hope he stays out of prison, that's an experience that does very few people any good.
Smirking always condemns people, but it is just a nervous reaction. People have no facial way to deal with a situation which has got beyond their control. Sometimes footballers in trouble need someone to reach out to them, but clubs mostly don't feel they can do it, because of the reaction of their own supporters. I feel sorry that Kane Drummond has wrecked a future he had worked hard to re-build for himself. But I don't think we were much help to him. When we should have been another step up for him, we were largely a step backwards. I just hope he sorts himself out and grows up a bit.
Grimes has had some good games for us. His attitude seems excellent. If he remained on our wage bill I wouldn't kick off, but I would be worried if anybody saw him as a first choice centre back. Central Defence is an area in which we are terribly old and vulnerable. Will Chey Dunkley, not fit since October, ever return as our lynchpin?
