Do you wish you did one more days work before your retirement to the arse end of nowhere? I doubt it.Beradogs wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:32 pm Yes the money is nice but Vigs may well come to regret the prime years of his footballing life sitting in the stands. Anyone who loves football wants to play as much as humanely possible, I know I did. Once retired the biggest regret is you didn’t play just one more game.
He hasn't really struggled, in spite of that VIth former's article. He's played 25 league games for them and the fans there seem to like him. It's a better season than the one he had with us in 2021/22, anyway.The Reverend wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:19 pm Paul Smyths move made much more sense, although I’m not surprised he has struggled in the Championship.
Admittedly less minutes, but scored 5 goals 2021/22, compared to just 3 last season.OyinbO wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:26 pmHe hasn't really struggled, in spite of that VIth former's article.

I don't think this is true, playing first team football at the highest level you can is the most important development choice you can make. That's why the entire loan system exists.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:20 pmDisagree. Training day in day out with Muric and Trafford in a Championship/Premiership environment and the odd closed door game against other Prem B teams will easily make you a better keeper than training with Howlers and Byrne and playing L1 football.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 12:33 pmbut personally I think he would become a better keeper playing competitive League 1 football in front of thousands, rather than playing for Burnley B team in an empty stadium.

Last season even Joe Piggott got 4 goals in 2044 minutes, compared to Paul Smyth 3 goals in 2242 minutes.
As a kid trying to break into proper, mens football - absolutely.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:55 pm

The handful of times I've seen him on the tv it looks like he's been playing much, much deeper than with us.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:49 pmAdmittedly less minutes, but scored 5 goals 2021/22, compared to just 3 last season.OyinbO wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 2:26 pmHe hasn't really struggled, in spite of that VIth former's article.
