    Perhaps he was the advisor on our January influx of players, as he said we would only get players not deemed good enough for SL

    Did Chris Eagles sign a new deal with Bolton? Wonder if we'll be interested still if he's on a free.

    how do we miss out, what do we do to so many players passing through the valley - simon francis was a liability for us, now derby are fighting to get hold of him???

    I don't think booing by his own supporters helped. Francis is pretty much the prime example of why you shouldn't boo your own player and how it doesn't help anyone.

    Francis was total shit. There was a reason he was boo'd. Let's not try and make out it's the fans fault.

    I personally think he just couldn't settle at a bigger club. He's thrived at Bournemouth but they're a smaller club than us, although better. Wiggins said he found it difficult to settle in at first due to this.

    I'd imagine if francis went to derby it would be much the same IMO.

    I'd rather have Solly and Wilson over Francis.

    Francis was played out of position if you ask me should have played left back in the dressing room. No seriously he was more of a CB than full back especially wih his build just needed moulding and learning he has done that now and will make a good championship player

    Still don't want him back though

    Francis was alright. Not great, but fine. Never understood the vitriolic abuse he got.

    Agree. Playing in a poor team, playing poorly and he became the crowds scapegoat. Shown he has what it takes.

    He really wasn't. He shone for being woeful within a woeful team, that takes some doing.

    Confidence.

    You're a good player when you have it.
    When you lose it, you're shite.


    And then for many players, when the fans get on your back, your game crumbles away completely.
