Cook commented that it was hard for many lower league players to settle at what is a big club for them, especially when we kept chopping and changing players and managers before he arrived.Smith was hounded out of this club by people who made up their mind pretty early in his time that he was krap. Didn't matter how much he tried. Sound familiar?
Smith is a very obvious example. Ended up looking frightened to play at home. Of course at the time he had a background of several loans. Maybe he is just another Northerner who cannot settle down south?
Looking at the list, Harness and Marquis are decent at this level. But to keep them we probably have to offer a pay rise with contracts and agents as they are.
Looking hard to improve or even stand still.
