We scored 42 in 24/25 and he was involved in 10.
People have very short memories.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Don’t see the point in getting misty eyed over these average players.
One of the reasons we were in relegation trouble was spending money on players like Dwight McNeil
He was poor. Seems to only be able to play under a very limited manager giving him instructions to play in a limited way.
I’ve seen too many half arsed performances from the lad to be wanting to give him any well wishes.

Has been good value but we are now rightly trying to move on from players of his level.
Goes with my best wishes, but moving him on and us moving on is an absolutely necessary step.

Re: Dwight McNeil
He was slagged off constantly by sections of the fanbase for a) not being good enough to win headers, then chase his own flick ons and score worldies up against entire back 4s on his own and b) because he was into clothes and wasn't particularly interested in outdated notions of masculinity.Escalator wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 12:15 pm Only in his last season where he refused to sign a new contract and went on a free.

Factually they did. Without that win, we were down. Same with Decoure, regardless of overall contribution.777Kidnappings wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 2:29 pm Im making up that people claim dcl and Ali kept us up because of the palace comeback?
