Ok , fair enough you’ve mentioned two . How many players did our fans call it right ?. For every Darren Purse and Nicky Story there’s probably five that went straight down the pan.
Ok, name the five.
Dalby , Gorman , Marks, Dancing Boy , Haleybone. Can you name those that didnt rate Shorey & Purse ? Most fans i knew thought they had potential .

Hector has just turned 21 and is still developing. He was never going to be the main man.
Look at the other two options he had... Coleman and Brown who were even further away from looking first team ready.

You hit the nail on the head in the last paragraph, a youth player was being asked to carry the midfield. Just shows how poorly we recruited in that area in terms of squad balance.

Fair point on Colebrown, Although he could have put Pratley there if he didn’t rate Hector.

We’re in agreement that the problem wasn’t Hector, it was Hector being asked to do more than he was ready to do just yet. That won’t be the case at Posh,

Didn’t think much of Abrahams. I did think Dalby was a prospect but that was different - he was 17 and played just half a dozen games. Kyp has a couple of seasons under his belt now.

Will we miss him next season ? No chance we finished mid table in league 2. We need Dawson/vincelot type midfielders to get us up.

We don't need a Dawson or Vincelot. We need a creative midfielder with an eye for goal to compliment what we have. If we are after Moncur he is a deadball specialist who can pass the ball...............something we haven't had for a few seasons.

How are you ling up the midfield 3 then?

RW has said he wants the 1 CDM holding/picking the ball up and moving it on, and of the 2 ahead of him, 1 to have the energy to get up and down and 1 with the flair.

We have Pratley and Clay for the energy role, we have Smyth (and Young) as the flair player, and we have Coleman and Brown holding. I'd say the CDM role is the most crucial to replace.

I like Hector, he was improving. If it had been £30k transfer fee I'd have been disappointed to see him move on. £300k plus 20% sell-on is very good and can be used best where RW/ML see fit.
