We suffer, like most smaller clubs, from uncertainty, and offering two years deals to players when Robbo was in charge left us with little budget last season to play with.
Don’t think he was torn apart at Exeter, more of a change in formation and search for goals left him exposed, but we did suffer down both flanks to Exeters pace.
Good luck to him, good lad and very solid for Harrogate I’ll wager.
It wasn't so much how he was left exposed for me, it was how he was unable to track any runs at all. I'm not knocking him,.he was cultured on the ball and put in some cracking performances but he had a poor season last season. RA is correct in saying that Love got dogs abuse but Gibbo was lauded despite giving away similar goals.
Great signing for a good L2 side and I wish him well.
Which is exactly what we will be BUT I have to agree with BW that he had some poor games but NOT as many as Love who for me blamed all those around him rather than accept responsibility for some horrendous mistakes. Similar in many ways to the departed O'Connor.
Will be interesting to see how O'Connor and Gibbo play at Harrogate....without the 'w'...
