Underwhelming is putting it politely.

Who also remembers the terrace fight between Billy's dad and Baseball cap boy?

He was at Ipswich & Norwich. Think his career was on the wane before he turned up at E10

Spot on. Alabi at least can chase down defenders and cause a bit of panic / confusion in tiring players. Scowcroft offered absolutely nothing.

Close with slowcroft, who was at least decent in the air and had had a decent career before us. Andrew was probably the worst bet was on loan I think and only played a few games.
