PETERBOROUGH FANS VIEWS ON SAM CURTIS
“When Katongo is back surely Curtis is well out of favour?”
“I put in more effort having a shite than Curtis has recently “
“Curtis has to be sent back in Jan. Not had one single good game, and then this. Lazy and useless every game he’s played for us”
“Really shit. Pure panic signing.”
“He’s pathetic”
“Curtis a liability”
“Curtis makes me nervous”
“Should be nowhere near the team”
“he should have a 0/10 today for being stationary for the pen let alone him being utterly wank”
“The first thing he did as soon as as he come on was dive in and get booked”
“thought he was really good defensively and I remember 1 very dangerous ball he put in the box too, definitely a lot more of an impact on the game than most”
PORT VALE FANS VIEWS ON ANTWOINE HACKFORD
“Hackford has been largely anonymous in every game I’ve seen him bar MK. It was the same again, we just couldn’t keep hold of the ball, and we couldn’t get him in behind either. Really don’t understand why he got picked over Tolaj/Paton.”
“hasn’t influenced a game since Mk Don’s”
“Non existent”
“for some reason the gaffer likes Hackford. I’m sure there’s an appearance clause in his loan contract because he plays a part in pretty much every game & looks so far out of his depth at times.”
“Hackford isn’t good enough”
“Hackford has shown nothing.”
“Hackford can nick a goal but is a passenger in every other part of the game. He’s an 80th minute sub, not a 60th minute.”
“Hackford was poor when he came on but you’ll get that with a young lad”
“He’s made a valuable contribution be it assists or goals.”
“even though he’s not everybody’s cup of tea he’s scored some important goals so far”
“Come on who like me would not have had Hackford anywhere near the squad ,well the lads silenced me for sure it’s a shame he hasn’t got a hat trick as he was immense”
“he caused them all sorts of problems and probably should have scored.”
“Hackford reminds me of a very raw Darren Beckford. Tons of potential”
Swindon Fans Views On Miguel Freckleton
“I’ve got a feeling Freckleton will be one of those that’s not great for us but in a few years ends up as a decent Championship defender.”
“absolutely no question Freckleton will go on to have a career in the EFL. Absolutely no doubt.”
“think he has done generally quite well with just defending (I think he has got worse in the last 3-4 games though), its more the forward looking play, he gets caught with the ball or passes to no one or refuses the best forward ball.”
“Lads confidence is no doubt fragile right now.
Definitely not writing him off having a good career. He’s adjusting to the grind of league football, to a more expectant crowd and the other harsh realities he’s had limited exposure to.
That’s not helping us right now though.”
“I feel sorry for Freckleton, clearly this seasons scapegoat.. sees far too much of the ball for a CB, has a midfield in front of him that don’t want the ball, that constantly turn back and give him the ball and don’t want it back. He then gets pressurised into trying to pick a pass that isn’t on or pumping it, which looks to effect his confidence once it goes wrong.”
“Freckleton looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. No composure – attempted to hoof any ball at his feet, stood like a statue when the cross came in for goal one and had totally disappeared from position when cross came in from his side for second goal.”
“The whole Freckleton issue is purely down to MK.
Freckleton hasn’t been good for the vast majority of the season, neither have most of the squad, but Freckleton stands out because he’ll be sycophantically praised even when he’s had a complete mare as per Saturday.”
“I really feel for Freckleton. He clearly isn’t the standard or isn’t playing the required standard. IMO it’s not on the player being not good enough whether that’s permanently or through a bad spell, the basics is he shouldn’t by playing right now”
“I’m really sorry to single out Freckleton, but he is just half a yard off the pace in all aspects. I lose count the amount of times a ball is clipped over his head and he mis judges it. Or when he’s favourite for a 50/50 and loses out. He is a bit of a calamity. Other teams know this and prey on it. We have no left side alternative because Delaney is never fit.
Sheffield United probably can’t believe their luck. They’re going to get 46 games out of Freckleton and he will be much better for it. Unfortunately, at the moment it looks like it’ll be at our expense.”
“I’m in the camp of starting to feel sorry for Freckleton. At any normal club, he’d have been taken out of the firing line by now and protected from further poor form. But our remaining CB options are 2 continuously injured players who I assume we will be lucky to see start 5 games consecutively before the end of the season and another young CB who for some reason has had the opposite treatment from MK and been thrown under the bus.
For all the good that Sheffield United will apparently feel for Freckleton starting all these matches, I’m not sure it’s actually doing him any good.”
“Not convinced Freckleton has much of a career myself honestly.”
Norwich Fans Views On Anis Ben Slimane
“Know everyone is sold on Slimane but I just don’t see it. Tbf I see more of what the Utd fans warned us of. Seems to have been saved by a tough tackle in his first appearance. Hope to be long in long run but just not seeing what he brings”
“Slimane has been awful”
“Slimane must have been caught in possession more than any other player yesterday. Probably not fit, but if he’s going to start he needs to improve quickly. Promising moves broke down at him every time.”
“Doesn’t look out for English football”
“Slimane put a foot in you idiot, please please don’t buy”
“Slimane has now conceded 2 goals because he won’t tackle”
“We’re going to be in big problems if Slimane is anywhere near our starting XI much longer.”
“I don’t see what Slimane offers at all.”
“Sorensen and Slimane totally abysmal. Please tell me we are not buying the latter?”
“Doesn’t look fit since coming back”
