Maybe I’m just old fashioned mate and would like a local lad to be given a bit of leeway.

3 Years of leeway is more than enough

I tend to not have a go at him but I couldn't give a toss where he is from. If he is playing crap he is playing crap.

I somewhat agree if you are in the stadium but us posting our thoughts about him on here does absolutely zero to his ability to perform on the pitch.

Agree 100% with this. We are to sentimental as a club, yeah everyone of us wants a local lad to do well but at some point enough is enough.

Can’t argue with that mate. Gomes has been no better today imo, we badly need legs in the middle of the park.

He's had nearly 100 appearances. I think people are just starting to accept that he's not good enough.

I accept that too mate, I just think when Andre Gomes is also stinking the place out (today) it’s a bit uncalled for.

I think you're wrong. We're too sentimental with things like that. You don't become successful by sticking with average local lads. You need to buy well. Not a great example, but garbutt is probably due a testimonial now, but players like osman and Hibbert were probably given too long as well.

 

[jimmythenut]

Give him a free ride, every week because he's a blue. He needs to get his act together or he'll be looking for a new club.

Absolutely - but this is the Davies thread

Im not saying stick with him mate, we can see he’s not good enough. He probably knows he’s not good enough. Yet if he’s selected then we should get behind him (I know it makes no odds with no fans). Agree completely about Hibbert and osman.

 

[Pat Butcher]

He is a runner, no more, needs to play higher up which ain't going to happen for us

He won't. He's on a deal here with several years that no other club will give him

 

[BillBrasky]

Can do a job when asked to be defensive and win the ball, but offers very little in possession.
