leon URZZZZ Denver Royal Well, this being a match thread of the Preston game, and not an evaluation of his play 7 months ago, he was poor yesterday, no doubt. And he'd prolly agree himself. Understandably rusty and well off the pace.
That said, not seeing the need for some of the ridicule and 'humour', and still referencing Blackburn, etc.
Been a loyal servant, we got him on a free, etc.
We can see where he's at, and it is what it is. 7 games left, and he'll be gone.
To be honest, it was actually embarrassing at times yesterday with how poor he was, it doesn’t matter how long he hasn’t played for, a professional footballer should not be playing that poorly, and this is championship level in a relegation fight
But I agree about mentioning Blackburn every time his name is mentioned. It’s like some people have a weird obsession over it. Yeah he had a poor game but on the whole, he’s been a very good signing and people are letting one game cloud their judgement too much
I wonder why people might mention that game?
Well, some people will. And some won't. And some already have/did and have left it there.
As you know, different people make different choices re. what they say and do and engage in.
I'd imagine the player, the club, his teammates, coaches, manager, etc, would all rather we didn't keep banging on about it and move on. Some have, and some feel the need to do otherwise.
It's interesting, though. Ilori, who we bought for millions, made mistakes and cost us goals - in games we lost - yet they are rarely mentioned and he is viewed with affection. Both then, and now. By some.
