we as fans never know all the facts do we?
Flying to Dublin 3 times a week around training, playing and having to cope with a terminally ill mother, its a wonder he played at all
He never hit the heights after his leg break and given everything he has had to deal with (don't forget the impact on his immediately family too) it is not surprising.
I wish him well for the remainder of his career |  |

Was I seeing something different to some people? Judge's quality from his Brentford days had deserted him when he came to us. Wasn't a great passer, first touch was iffy, hardly ever looked to take the ball on the half turn and instead opting to go backwards with his first touch. The pace had gone too. We got a shadow of the player he once was. Compare him to others in that position currently (Aluko, Celina, Chaplin) and it's night and day. |  | | |

Christ. He’s no Paul Taylor, that’s for sure |
Good to see it's got to the stage of recycling other peoples' bad jokes on here. |  |

One of the problems (as he says there) was that he was played on the left-wing for some reason, when he had lost all his pace, and he did look really awful at times on the left-wing. Given that we only playing one striker most of the time, this was a big part of why the team looked so disjointed under Lambert.
Really given that he'd lost a lot of his physical attributes, he had to be playing as a wily Jonathan Douglas-esque central midfielder, who doesn't really seem to contribute that much, but actually keeps things ticking over just by being on the pitch somehow. [Post edited 31 Mar 2022 14:39]

Yes but if a player is running around like a headless chicken with no end product then it becomes even more apparent how bad they are. It also probably has something to do with lack of coaching, system or game plan on Lambert’s part. [Post edited 31 Mar 2022 6:50]

Really sad to be treated poorly alongside everything else that was going on, or even to feel you were being treated poorly.
I personally found him a frustrating player to watch, I have been to a few Colchester games this season and found the same - slowing the play down, trying and failing too often with killer balls and taking every set piece regardless of quality on them - admittedly in last game which was a 2-2 draw he got an assist and it was his ball into the box that was nodded down for what looked like a late winner - but he was too disruptive in general play for me and that is what it felt like at Ipswich |  |

Agreed, I think the frustrations were more to do with the expectations we all had, I remember both Stuart and Andy saying with him in this league we will rip it up.
Unfortunately for him and us, his best days were well behind him despite the odd fluttering of what he could once do.
From what I've seen of Col U this season, looks like things haven't really got better, although he did score a 30 yard screamer a few months ago. |  |

Nsiala, as in the guy who's in the relegation dogfight with Gillingham, Doncaster, Morecambe? Good call as ever Mach. |
And that's Nsiala's fault as well? Seriously? |  | | |

No you berk, but if he's going to name a player that everyone was supposedly wrong to criticise it's probably worth picking one who didn't immediately go on to play for a much worse team. | | | |
