Well yes.

Championship feet. Sunday league body.

He’s another Sean Thornton in that he’s wasting his talent.

Bit mad cos Moncur's got a championship medal and played more last season than most of us realised but I reckon in years to come more people will go more misty eyed over what Thornton did for us.

If he was that good would a championship club got rid? Apart from the sicknotes we have signed over the last few seasons,he has to be the most disappointing acquisition we have made in regards to performances,I for one was expecting a lot more and I think Wellens did as well.

Well that was my point. He’s got the talent but he’s pissing it away by not keeping fit and generally being arsed. Like Thornton.
