Not a big fan of him , and he's also a poor goal kicker.

Sykes has one advantage over a lot of players!!

He ain't a crocked Aussie/Kiwi or Oceanic keeping a brit from playing at the top level.

Sadly teams are too full of those who do.

Change the flippin record, no one cares

Says a follower of a club full of overseas players and still signs crocks from Huddersfield.

However you will not pass any comment when England get hammered every test match will you as long as your blinkers are on and your glasses with My club My club My club only written in front of your eyes. will you!!!

Yes.

I also think it runs a little deeper than that (although the word yes answers your question).

L'Estrange is ok and is certainly better than having a player suspended for drug use so no argument there.

Orford v Deacon hard to assess - Deacon was generally solid and allowed the better players around him to express themselves. Orford ... well if only he could stay fit and wasn't homesick but whilst he has undoubtedly been a class act they are definitely two major issues.

Hall in, Morrison out - to the casual observer not a massive amount of difference but you see more of him than I ever will.

Kearney a very decent signing - with the issues over Orford probably the best.

But I did say 'over the past few seasons', the above are recent changes, in all honesty I was comparing the situation of say 5,6 or 7 years ago with the past 2 or 3.
