congrats Ricky, I hope you can put your talent to rebuild your career.

What I want to see is consistency of performance from individual players - the gap and distance between best games and worst games narrowed. Herein lies our problem - I saw a few quite exceptional Ricky P games - a few being "count them on one hand". The same could be said for plethora of footballers we have had and a few we still have.

What we need is a few more Nathan Jones'. I disagree with so many on here when they point to him being close to the next step to becoming elite. I dont believe he has the natural talent to become elite. But what I love about him is over the last two years the gap between his best and worst has all but disappeared. He consistently plays the best he can play and he should be lauded because of it. Consistency and quality of performance - week in and week out. Give his best and does his best consistently - when we can get a dozen footballers plus who can make that claim then we will see wins.

Couldn't agree more Nut.

Although it hurts big time to realise that because of that lack of consistency, we are still along way off the mark. I know we recruited to get that more experienced consistent player. I just hope we see something from it this year.

Ricky got really spooked by his injury - as you would.

Lost his mojo after that.....

Please explain why you'd be reading anything from the Richmond website? That should be grounds for a life ban from Demonland. Mods, where are you?

Haha, sorry to disappoint Crawf52! I can only hope the mods will spare me.

Maybe this one will more to your liking.
