Surely no club in the League is that desperate? The lad isn't good enough for us.

agreed. too many individual errors this year, most have cost us.
i've yet to see him make a tackle and get the ball. more often than not he just pushes the bloke off it.

I love to know the exact number of points that we've lost this season that have been down to one of his mistakes. :evil:

His supporters seem to view his performances though rose tinted spectacles as a result of his charges down the right wing which usually end with no end result meaning that he's out of position to the opposition's counter attack.

In this respect Curtis reminds me of Tarkan Mustafa who was vastly overrated in my opinion and also a poor defender. OBN quickly agreed and brought in a far better all round player in Marcus Bignot.

I do hope Justin Miller is retained since he is a better defender, scores goals, provides a better service when crossing and has a long throw.

Couldn't disagree with you more on Tarks, excellent defender and provided a great service going forward.

I disagree aswell he picked up on some decent form before his injury.. Decent runs down the wing with decent crosses at the end, also he had the best shot off target in the hayes and yeading game just over the bar... Don't know why everyone slates him all the time.

I like Osano, he just hasn't got his head screwed on half the time. If the Kenyan turns up, you've got yourself a league 1 player, if he doesn't he's almost a liability.

I have been very impressed with Miller this Season, i'm really surprised he hasn't started more games.

Has easily cost us 7 points at least this season, first half of the season he was just dire. It's all well having the ability, but if you continually make stupid errors your ability will come to no use. (Titus Bramble anyone ;) )

I'd argue you could say that about a few players. Eddie's cost us points, Prosser did, Day might have, Farrell has, Thorne?
