Wintle was poor to average in the championship and decent at league one level and that’s where he ended up ffs.

Our manager didn’t want him and you’re still crying about that.
I’d rather trust our managers decision than yours.

No way was Kellyman one of or two best players last season. Absolutely nowhere near that. Besides we are absolutely fine in the no. 10 position as he was pretty crap as winger.

Yes Scanlon’s back but typical of you instead of looking positively at competition for Bagan your moaning as ever.

Totally unfair analyses of Wintle. He played 150 games in the Championship in the 4 years before we went down so he can hardly be described as poor. He didn't shine at Cardiff in the championship but he did the role asked of him and was not responsible for us going down as he was on loan all season. He shone at Blackpool on loan in the championship and did last year under bbm.He was a damn sight better than "decent" last season


Why didn't any other championship club snap him up then? He was available for free...

For me..

Robertson is better than Wintle at 6
Moylan is better than Kellyman at 10

Exactly, at the end of the day he’s a decent league one player and that’s where he’s ended up.

He did well for us last year there’s absolutely no denying that and BBM obviously agrees with me as he let him go!

It’s as see it with Scanlon pushing Bagan all the way.

Kellyman had a few really good games but was poor to average in most.

I’d prefer Moylan also given the choice but you can’t please everyone.

Kellyman poor to average...Wintle decent. You see the game very differently to a lot of fans.

What I saw was Kellyman save our bacon last season when Colwill and then Salech got injured. Literally saved our bacon in the 10 role and then upfront. And Wintle was POTY and players POTY.

You have some rather weird (and quite disrepecful) views pal on some of our former players.


Yes he was average in most games and poor on the wing. Of course he scored a few vital goals but my point was he was far from our best player like was stated.
I’d have been happy with him coming back or not. I don’t think we need him as we’re well covered in that position.

I’m not sure how my views on Kellyman as a former player is being disrespectful?
I’m intrigued.

Have you read literally hundreds of posts on here with posters not rating players of ours?

Many cursing and being abusive. That’s disrespectful - not me saying he was poor to average. That’s called an opinion.

Kellyman and Wintle were 2 players that gave their all last season. They were both instrumental in us winning automatic promotion.

Wintle, with the awards he won off us (the fans) and his fellow professionals, speaks for itself.

Kellymam filled in for both the injured Colwill and Salech, and did it so well that our form didn't really dip over that period, the points kept on rolling in (those 2 were out for an awful long time). Had he been up to speed from the off and played in his more natural central position from the start, he may have been in with a shout for making team of the year (just my opinion).

To brush these two off as poor to average and just 'decent' is doing them an injustice and is disrespectful.

It will be interesting to see how our new recruits do, the one's we've not signed yet. They will all be young and quite possibly not up to speed, a bit rusty, may take a few weeks/months to bed in. You've been advocating for this type of signing...let's hope they are not poor to average like Kellyman was hey!

It's all a con by Chelsea? Firstly they buy him at inflated price from villa to avoid ffp rules.. now selling him with a buy back clause to strassburg a club owned by Chelsea! They simply sell him at whatever price then when Chelsea need him back they'll buy him at a knock down price so helping with new profit and sustainability rules..
