Simon Lappin - an analogy for the team

[BigFish 1,986]

For me Laps sums ups in one player everything about where we are. A lot of fans have a lot of respect for his character, especially the way he coped with the way Roeder treated him. He has never blabbed to the press and by all accounts trains excellently. Ability wise he is neat and tidy, good on the ball and capable of using it well.

Equally though he was more than happy to take the money and not play - not being willing to exchange a pay cut for minutes on the pitch. He is far too small, slow and gets bullied by the more physical player at the Champs level and most certainly will at League One. All in all you have to wonder what use he would be for next season.[:^)]
