    You could probably say that about every single squad player from the championship season. Not good enough. Hasn't delivered, time for him to go.

    I don't deny that it his time to go. I just think the treatment he has received is unfair considering the contribution he made to the promotion.

    Plus every single squad player from the Championship season has been treat in such a way.



    Which leads me to believe he could quite well be a disruptive presence.

    You could say Prossys contribution got us promoted - but if we'd spent the money we used on him (however much it was in the end) on a proper striker for the Championship then we'd have been promoted weeks before we were.

    Prozzy didn't get s promoted, that goal against Ipswich was far too early in the season to be classed anything like vital, and the one against Cardiff was irrelevant as Watford lost anyway.

    He contributed next to nothing, on the wrong side of nothing.

    That Steve Bruce is a bad judge of player?

    It constantly amazes me how people criticise players for being ****e. If you're criticising someone for them not being good enough, then its the manager who buys and plays him.

    By the way I'm not saying Steve Bruce is a bad judge, I'm not criticising Proschwitz.

    I agree with this, Bruce is a fair guy so Proschwitz must be doing something pretty out of order. He should have taken a leaf out of Jakupovics book and knuckled down after a shaky start, sounds like he is the petulant or arrogant type who thinks he deserves to play regardless of anything

    I don't want to insult your intelligence but I have to . Of cause it was vital and it doesn't matter at what point in the season it was. We where losing, he came on and scored two goals and got us three points. Three points less and we would have finished behind Wartford in the league.

    I agree that he isn't good enough and needs to go but take your rose tinted glasses off.

    A hurricane can be influenced by the small amount of air disturbance caused by a butterfly flapping it's wings several weeks earlier.

    It's all been said about Proschwitz there are no more excuses left. When he first came and fans were making excuses for him I think I might have been one of the first to say what most were thinking but didn't want to say it - he was nowhere near Championship level. We'd bought a pup! I have seen many Hull City players who could have been much better and reached the top with some better training but the replies I got from my sources were that they couldn't be @rsed. Tom Cairney was a gifted player but only had one foot - why didn't he knuckle down to some training or why didn't a coach mentor the bloke? I saw an interview last week with Rio Ferdinand who said "Training at Man U was very intense and exhausting at times but the bloke that got me was Ronaldo, who, after training was finished, would get a bagful of balls and go out on the pitch with a couple of ball-boys and do another couple of hours practicing his step-overs and free kicks". To me that is what professional football is all about - dedication. If you 'can't be @rsed' then it beggars the question on commitment. Proschwitz is rumored to be on 20 grand per week so he won't be in a hurry to go anywhere but no amount of training will give him the quality needed at this level.
    I wish the bloke all the luck in the world and hope he finds somewhere where he can enjoy his football again.

    Saw on the telly last night a bit about when Wimbledon beat Liverpool in the FA cup final, 1980's. Vinnie Jones said he was 150 quid a week at that time, but the team wanted to play, wanted to win and played with passion, some may say aggresion.
    There will always be those who play like that no matter how much they get paid, but there will be some and maybe this number is growing who have such high wages they have little motivation to go out there and do it.

    Does my tits in that Cairney is the only player ever picked up for having one foot. Virtually every footballer about is uncomfortable on one foot but Cairney always the player mentioned. Probably half of the distance Quinny runs is to run around the ball to get it on his left, his right isn't even good for standing on.

    Yes, Maradona was very one-footed too.

    Dawson was far more one-footed than Cairney but it was never a problem for him.

    The reason Cairney is mentioned so often is because he could have been a Premier league player if he had done some hard yards. There are many top players who have only one foot but they have the gift of being able to position themselves to either receive or distribute the ball. Cairney did not have that gift and had to get the ball on to his 'good' foot.
    Fryatt was another who could have done some hard yards on his 'first touch' and 'other' foot - what an improved player he would have been instead of being in a Championship team. It's not like they are being paid in green stamps but what are the coaches doing about this?

    Most footballers are one footed, it's bullshit to think otherwise. There are very few genuinely ambidextrous professional footballers. You see strikers always miscuing because they have tried shooting with their 'wrong foot'.

    Cairney will end up back in the Premier League, he's easily good enough, regardless of how one footed he is.
