Not worked out for him and I don’t think we play a system that suits and I think this probably sums up everyone’s feelings towards him potentially going!

I’d personally have him gone and hope to re-recruit using the saved funds!

does he add anything different to what we have? maybe. Do we play to suit his strengths? probably not. Does he want to be here? doubt it, especially if he's not playing.
Bye, and thanks for all the fish.

Wanted - George Moncur is being tracked by another National League club (Image: Lucy Copsey)

ON LOAN Southend United midfielder George Moncur is being tracked by another National League club, Echosport understands.

Moncur did not make the Shrimpers squad for the Boxing Day clash with Ebbsfleet United and could now head elsewhere for the second half of the season.

Moncur joined Blues on loan from Leyton Orient back in August but has failed to score in 16 appearances for the club.

On a different planet to the rest but we wouldn't expect the manager to see that and use him right would we?

 

[Chairman Trigg]

First couple of games looked a class above with forward passing at pace..... however with the help of Maherball we soon knocked that out of him !

There’s a few liabilities he can take with him as well.

Unfortunately turned out to be the player O’s fans warned he would. Really hoped it work out but he hasn’t produced. Maher has given him chances but he has failed to have impact that someone of his ability should. Would question anyone in the NL trying to sign him. What have they seen?

Could be someone like Ebbsfleet where he would be offered guaranteed starts every week and be a potential leader in the dressing room, which Josh Wright said he was lacking in his post match interview.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Didn’t even notice he wasn’t in the Boxing Day squad

 

[cerbera45]

Not worked out for either party

Good shout that

It's more that Moncur was crap just like we were told he was

 

[Callumturner22]

Didn’t work out sadly . Now we can use the money to bring in someone that is up to it

 

[Strykr]

Seeya.

Not suited for a team that's scrapping for survival IMO

 

[Harry Bullocks]

As above, a decent player that didn’t fit into our system

 

[gatecrasher]

Likes to go forward and pass forward - was never going to work out here

 

[GBJ]

Opinions eh? From what I saw, Moncur was more prone to running the ball down dead alleys than he was to playing defence splitting passes.

For those saying we didn’t play to his strengths, I’d ask, what were his strengths exactly? What system would have suited him?

It’s just one of those things, it hasn’t worked out here and for his sake as well as our own, it’s best if he moved on.
