    RIMBAUD reacted to loughboroughRAM in Conor Washington - signed on a two-year-deal   
    I have literally signed back into my account for the first time in 5 years or so to tell you this is wrong, thus emphasizing how ridiculous the rest of this post is. 

    St Ives town are based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, which you might have realised had you not been so desperate to slag him off.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Ives_Town_F.C.

    His last season in League 1 was 2021/22 season, so a couple of seasons ago where he scored 11 in 35 which is respectable enough (Collins scored 11 in 42 last season) for someone we signed on a free.

    If he was a goal machine he would either be playing at a higher level or command a fee that we are currently unable to afford. Besides goals, he has a good work rate and has contributed to the teams success (when fit) in other ways that Opta and x.G don't/can't quantify. 

    A decent chunk of our fan base (and I guess football fans in general) have such a reductive view on attacking players' attributes which rarely extends past their ability to score or create goals. This is rightly the best metric when comparing the best players in the world, which I will concede Washington is not, but he brings other qualities to the team which are of value and contribute to our success - along with chipping in with the odd goal here and there. 
    So far this season he has registered 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 league games (497 mins) which equates roughly to a goal contribution every 100 minutes, which I will gladly accept for someone we signed for nothing.

    I really enjoyed it. Great to win a game late on. I think we are going to have accept that it might be a bit of a roller coaster.  
     
    We were the better team and won. Just a shame it wasn’t by two goals.

    I felt the same. We made 2 mistakes, got punished and then contributed to Burtons “revival” by panicking/rushing/ getting in to hoof ball and head tennis. . Burton were plucky and worked very hard but it was our individual errors that let them get as close as they did. Why can’t  we get a young Manchester United kid on loan who can score on his debut ? 
     
    Anyway .. it’s 3 precious points. That’s all that matters. Still lots of games to play. Still in a great run of form and had the spirit to keep playing.

    He said people within the academy and the club told him he was likely to have a decent career at national league level but maybe not higher; 
    "There were academy representatives who said we think you'll have a good career, maybe in non-League or at National League level, if you work hard.
    "I've had a lot of ups and downs in my career. There will always be doubters.
    "So to prove them wrong and to get 100 appearances is massive for me, and obviously my family.

    Didn’t enjoy that tonight, it was freezing and we were very poor. Sloppy from the start and we never got going. None of the players brought in played well enough to stake a claim for the first team. I just hope it’s a blip that doesn’t affect our league performances or confidence.

    I know some Bolton fans who had a right laugh last year. Let’s go and win it and have a  laugh. Feels like we are due some fun.

    I’m 58. I love watching Derby County. I think we should try and win it. It’s disappointing to me that fans are not supporting it. It’s football.

    He's put in a shift alright. Defensively very good today in a physical encounter too. This is what we need from him, he's taken the game by the scruff of the neck and dragged us over the line. More of the same please Max!

    Think he looked better further up earlier in the season, if we keep hold of him and got a proper CDM in might make a big difference to his game.

    I thought Washington was starting to look quite useful with a couple of goals in the home games against Exeter and Northampton. 
    Then he got injured.
