Overheard a SHeff Wed fan on the train back saying "Jay Bothroyd - any chance of you putting in some effort". They were not impressed. In fact they said he was about as good as the Brighton train service.
I'd commented in his transfer thread last month, saying I couldn't believe he had signed for Wednesday over us. I had said I hoped he would be subbed after 65 mins after failing to impress and leaving the pitch a loser....well strike me down it came true! We don't need his type in our footballing family.
I was very suprised, I wasn't expecting anything from him but he was far better than I thought he would be, and bigger than I thought. I thought his performance wasn't too bad at all, looked thoroughly unbothered but in the right team I think he could be unplayable. Was impressed by his ability tonight, but work rate and desire were not in evidence at all.
Nope. He was dreadful tonight. I hope the CMS bashers noticed the difference between him and Bothroyd. CMS created space, caused panic, outpaced defenders and scored. Bothroyd might as well have sat in the centre circle tripping people up, throwing his elbows about and spitting a giant dummy.
