Payne is my most disappointing signing of the season. Was too good for L2, but nowhere near good enough for a L1 side looking for top half let alone promotion.
Definitely a disappointment, but I do feel like he's gotten worse as the season has gone on. Some of that is positioning, he's gone from playing as a narrow winger to a #8, and that's just not his game, especially when Fraser has the free role.
There is ability there, and I don't want to give up on him just yet. But yes, a disappointment to this point.
Barely. But his record since leaving us is quite good. Similar to Piggott. They needed to drop down and play regularly to get to where they are now. It's unfortunate, we could have used players like them over the years, but I don't think they would have been given the time here that they got elsewhere.
