Wonderful guy, great servant and he’s been a hell of a player for us but it’s quite obvious that he’s now at that point where it’s almost cruel to involve him.
Especially in a division where many teams have youngsters that are fit, sharp and technically on point. He looks like a middle aged dad joining in with a group of teenagers.
His decline has been severe and sharp. It’s harsh on him but he’s quite simply not up to this standard now even after a relegation. |  |

I fully expected Skuse to have been phased out last season. As it was, we had not one, but TWO inept managers keeping us in a relegation 'fight' all season so his experience was needed on the pitch. What we're seeing now is his phasing-out being managed poorly.
There's probably a metaphor for ITC at large here, but I can't work it out.
For what it's worth, we should keep him on the payroll as he's intelligent, professional and was a half-decent player on his day and will make an excellent coach. Given how ITFC are being run at the moment, after this season, we'll probably be reading about him being a key part of the management team that overseas Bristol City's promotion to the Premier League next season. |  |

He has been too deep and lacking in any pace for over two years. Only here would he still be in the team. | | | |

I think we are a bit too accommodating. Him and Chambers have not looked good in what is a very poor league. Both great servants but it's tough watching them jog around 3 seconds behind play. |  |

Once he stopped coming back from minor knocks it was clear he wouldn't be a regular. But its more worrying that without him we've been done for 5 at Lincoln too, seen a big lump trundle through us at Rotherham etc.
If we lose Huws/Garbutt in these games we seem so vulnerable and unable to create so often. The balance is way off. Judge has done barely anything all season but enough to keep being picked. Jackson is great against flat backlines when they let the ball bounce, but in terms of supply and creativity we're little different to the team that got relegated.
Relying on Skuse and Chambers to get us promoted isn't really logical, but we also have Downes and Woolfenden too alongside them who stand up against any of these teams' youngsters so it must be more than that. Mainly the inability of Lambert to change games. |  |
