Matty Done - your opinion?
at 22:04 28 Feb 2017

I'm expecting nothing but glowing praise for him, because he had done so well for you, before my club, Sheff Utd, signed him a few years ago (2 years ago? I can't remember, it's all a blur).

I looked back at his career when we signed him. Sure - he was on a purple patch with you at the time, having scored 14 goals already or summat that season? But the most he'd ever scored in his entire career, in one season, before that was....6.

He was great in his first season for us. (His first "half-season" that was). Some of the goals he scored were just sublime. But since then he's been poor tbh - very poor.

Us Blades appreciate effort and graft. It's where we are from. Blokes sweating blood in the steel mills of Sheffield. Working all night long and risking life-threatening injuries, pouring white hot metal. Working in temperatures of 40c plus all night. For hours on end. Then, knocking off at 6am in the morning and going to the nearest pub (of which there were plenty) and slaking a raging thirst with several pints before going back home to bed for the rest of the day - then starting over again at 10pm.

We love EFFORT.

We put it ahead of SKILL.

Which is just as well.

And Matty gives effort - no doubt. He's been likened to a dog chasing a crisp packet in a windy car park. He will run after every single thing. Pointlessly mostly. But he cannot anticipate being in the right place at the right time.

His career record is testament to that.

I think he's finished at Sheff Utd. Not even good enough for the 3rd division.

So would you want him back?
