    Lloyd is 31 in October. His career has had some huge ups and downs: two professional contracts at Liverpool, but also loan moves to divisions below and time as a free agent. 

    He had an awkward start to life at Charlton; unlucky with injuries but also inconsistent form, and I’m sure we could dig up some comments on here disparaging him. But over time he settled, he found some form and has now clearly found a home. Maybe he was a late developer, maybe he just needed to find the right combination of club and manager to maximise his strengths. It’s clear though, that patience has had huge benefits for both player and club.

    Who knows exactly what has led to his imperious form, but it shows you is that its not always wise to write players off after six months. Especially true if they’re playing in a new system, have injury or adjustment issues when joining a new club, or if they’re simply just inexperienced at the level. 



    Still time for Ahadme to come good then 👍

    Just goes to show what a talent Michael Appleton was. Imagine being such a bad manager you manage to make Lloyd Jones look like a donkey
    Appleton not only failed to have any sort of "new manager bounce", he somehow managed to make things actively worse. I've never been baffled by any career as much as his and how he keeps (kept?) getting work.
