Good luck to him. Was our best left wing back.

He was. Seems to be a troubled soul though. All the ability but never settles anywhere. Been a free agenda since June.

I was reading he’s been brought in as they’ve just released their left back. Third separate police related incident this season. Must be a new record since Arsenal’s 80s/90s drinking squad

I agree but if he had the right mentality he probably would have been above our level anyway. Such a waste.

best one we've had under the Evatt regime, which speaks volumes about our recruitment.

Declan John was shit. 
 

Players normally improve when injured on here, he has improved whilst playing in the reserves for whichever lower division team he has been playing for.  Even whilst he had no contract.

There’s plenty of things you can slate Evatt on at the moment, but Declan John shouldn’t be one of them.

He got him at the right time, he probably played the best and most consistent football of his career under contract at this club under Evatt. And Evatt got rid of the troubled character at the right time.

Remember seeing him interviewed and he had no idea what a pasty barm was. 

Wrong un.

Both statements are true

He was pretty good in L2 (though Ben Jackson showed he was arguably better in his brief run), found L1 tougher and it all went downhill from there on. Probably in last chance saloon up there but good luck to him. 

Replacing him has been hard work though, Williams and Mbete hardly worldbeaters, Schon has a chance of at least being alright at our current level

ben jackson is a bad un

nearly as bad as that bad un from hull - before evatt

Arguably slightly better than DJ at L2 level, so not intended as a glowing reference. 

Brandon Fleming, true, wasn't anything special

He wasn't for the first 18 months 

Especially when it was him and Fossey on the wings

It was his attitude that appeared to hold him back

IE did right to get rid when he did

We moved Brandon Fleming.

We turned up and he literally had 3 binbags and his PlayStation.
