you could list loads that have peaked around then and dropped off there after you get some that fly off young the cadamatris, Jeffers, Branch of this world,
But if you look at Bowyer,Parker,Rufus,Hunt, all had good years in their early to mid twenties and never really peaked there after.
Bowyer had seen his best years at Leeds, Parker what is he now 28-29 we def got the best out of him, Rufus retired by 29 best years with us between 22-2, Hunt retired at 30 peaked really at WBA was great for us for a year when he signed but did we see the best of him, I dont think so.
I think all players really come of age at their 24 year mark and the scary thing is they dont maintain that for long the amount of players who have great seasons around then and just never reach that level again is scary
Stu how can you state that Ambrose has been our best player this season,the only reason he has stood out recently is because he is the only the only player to have scored, his all round game is awful, he does nothing for the team, wayward passes, doesnt track back, jesus someone help me out here i am thinking its just me,

so it is alright for you to abuse him because you think he is crap but not for me with halford - and he is CRAP not fit to lace Ambrose's boots.

The reason i had a pop at you because u are have the heart of a stone and that you had no sympathy that the man had lost someone close to him, and i stand by that, i also stand by the statement that Ambrose is overated, if we look at the stats, it would be interesting to see his pass completion, and tackles made, Ambrose is no better than a Dennis or a JJ
[cite]Posted By: WhenIwasLittleBoy[/cite]well that is my opinion of Ambrose, goes missing in a game, never tracks back, hides from the play, and couldnt cross a road let alone a ball
The stats pretty much show that to be wrong though.
i don't really like ambrose at all, more because i know he's an extremely talented fella who in the past has managed to produce the goods all to rarely
BUT... i have nothing but praise for the lad for some of the performances he's turned in since the New Year and long may it continue, anyone still completely on his back can't be for real
in my original post i said i had no sympathy, but did say not for his loss of course i sympathise with that, but my main point is he should have said he can't play.
we are both as bad as each other - you don't like 23 yr old ambrose i don't like 23 yr old halford so ner lol
Hope Halford recovers soon if he has indeed lost someone close to him.
On the subject of him as a player, Coppell and Keane wouldn't have spent 6million quid on him if he was shit. Personally, I think he's a wingback, best suited in a 5-3-2 formation. We won't play a 5-3-2 formation though, as we don't have a natural left wing back (maybe Youga) so we would be lop sided and lose balance further up the pitch. However, I'm fairly certain he played a fair few times for Colchester as a striker.

how's that boring - i am diffusing our little chat
And no you won't see me at portman road - you'll never bump into me unless you know someone from here that knows me - like to keep a low profile off the board.
sorry to bring this back up but i was told on Saturday that it ws his mum that passed away. I dont know if this is 100% true but it could answer a lot.
If anyone thinks this is inapprorpriate to post then let me know and ill delete.
If so then that is extremely sad and I feel for the lad but I stand by my point that he should have said he couldn't play NOT one person would have criticised him for it.
if true then I feel for the lad and send him my condolances on his loss.
However, that doesn't distract from the fact that he is cack and if he has lost his Mum then perhaps Pards should have left him out for a few games. I can see him wanting to play but his mind couldn't have really been on the job.

Legend! (hehe)
;o)
The stats pretty much show that to be wrong though.
Ne he didn't track back and put in crunching tackles, a lot of attacking midfielders don't do these things either.
But the stats, highlights & just about everything else prove him to be effective.
The subject of Ambrose has been done to death. This is the Halford topic.
BUT... i have nothing but praise for the lad for some of the performances he's turned in since the New Year and long may it continue, anyone still completely on his back can't be for real
Long throw in from Halford, flicked on header from Gray and tucked in by Lita. Job done.
