Gone to join the other donkeys on the beach?

No that's not fair actually. He's solid enough defender who always gives 100%. Not the most gifted but a tough competitor and wish him well ( but not well enough for them to be saved from relegation).

Should have retained Nelson and transferred Simpson instead.

harsh comments about Curtis, has always given 100% when picked.
Wish him all the best, if he moves on :ayatollah:

Flourished when playing 3 Centre halves but a bit exposed in a flat back 4. That said, his best was pretty good. We’ve definitely had worse.

Agreed

Imagine being someone like Nelson, who gave 110%, reading some of this shite?

Good luck Curtis!!

Agree he may have had a mistake in him now and again but he always gave 100% . I’m surprised though that we’d sell to a relegation rival though

A better centre half than NG

Re: ‘ Nelson off to Blackpool ‘

Fri Jan 27, 2023 6:46 pm

Will bamba play if needed then? Seeing as Nelson is off

Re: ‘ Nelson off to Blackpool ‘

Fri Jan 27, 2023 7:33 pm

Agree, all the best Curtis .

I agree; did a decent job in a defence prone to individual errors (of which he made some but certainly not all)

A little surprised but wsh him all the very best :ayatollah:

Re: ‘ Nelson off to Blackpool ‘

Fri Jan 27, 2023 9:39 pm

Also thought he was much improved since his return to the side. Will probably now play a prominent part in keeping Blackpool up, similar to Morrison :banghead:

Good luck Curtis.

Another one that should stay average player but big heart and if him and mozz where playing tomorrow in a back 4 I would bet we would be harder to beat than rather play pretty football that looks good but can't defend properly :bluebird:

Nelson had 6 months of his contract left with the Bluebirds so they released him on a free to Blackpool

Re: ‘ Nelson off to Blackpool ‘

Not bad in the air, fair tackler, prepared to put his body on the line and normally put a shift in, however is passing/distribution was dire ! That part of his game never improved and it brought so much pressure on our defence with waves of attacks by him constantly passing to the opposition. I wish him all the best and thank him for his service however hope his replacement can pass to a colleague, this is a basic requirement at this level of football (championship and above) :ayatollah: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

Decent defender always gave 100% but made far too many individual mistakes

His distribution was dire at times but you could never fault his commitment

Good luck Curtis

Hope he does well for Blackpool, I was always 50/50 on nelson. Loved his passion and commitment.
Bit surprised though because last couple of games I thought he had improved, but with 6 months left on contract it makes sense for both parties. Once Romeo and denham is back we've got Ng, McGuiness, kipre ans Simpson.

Prepare yourselves - he’ll have one good game for Blackpool and some on here will go into meltdown about how we should never have let him go and how useless the Club is.
Good luck Curtis.
