Four hours ago redshank posted gibberish,or at least it read as gibberish, as I cannot see the original comment that redshank posted it must have been gibberish.

Smyth is holding his own in a league above us, our bloke has been bombed out of that league 'cause e' ain't good enough. OK, let's examine that claim. From 1 Jan 24 he has been available in 24 games of which he started just 6 times and one of those being in the cup. He played 22 times times this past season and came off the bench a further 22 times. Most of his subs appearances came after Jan 1st where 16 of 24 he was available for came from the bench. That says to me he is not holding his own, is struggling for game time as he either isn't good enough for that level or the manager doesn't fancy him as a player, either way he is not holding his own. He was my favourite player when he was here however, his behaviour when he left was not right nor nice. His "behaviour" is neither here nor there. the discussion was on football merit and on that no Championship team wanted him, he has done the rounds of a number of higher league clubs and found wanting, in other words he's in this league because none of the Championship thought he was worth the money. He will not get stuck in but stay on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to do the spade work for him. A lazy player who did not keep fit during last years summer break and that's why got injured. |

A lazy player who did not keep during last years summer break and that's why got injured so your cruciate goes cos you don't stay fit? That's a new one on me. As far as no one wanted him, I suspect previous injuries played a part in the decision making process. We came unstuck in that respect. I hope you will change your opinion on him as the season progresses as he has real talent and ability, and I am sure he will prove the doubters wrong. |

As you say he's injury prone, he has talent and ability, he's also lazy other wise what's he doing mixing it down here |

I am getting a bit lost here, who has busted their ACL, is it Paul Smyth or Jordan Graham ? |

Is this the injury you mean ( see below ) if so it was a patella tendon injury, not an ACL knee injury.
As to the injury he picked up playing against Hearts, supposedly lower leg and ankle injury.
''O’s winger Jordan Graham underwent surgery on his left knee on Wednesday 1st November.
The 28-year-old sustained a patella tendon injury during the first half of Saturday’s goalless draw against Burton Albion in Sky Bet League One.
He was successfully operated on Wednesday morning and will now have a short period of rest before beginning his lengthy rehabilitation in due course'' |
