[Albion] What has happened to Rohan Ince?

mejonaNO12 aka riskit · Apr 4, 2018

I imagine they may have realised that, however nice it is to be big and strong.....primarily a footballer needs to be able to control a football with their feet.

It's quite a key skill.

But still, he's lovely and strong isn't he.

He was always very average...... always.

Whoever used the description 'Bambi on Ice' wasn't far away........

I really thought he would be a decent midfield option for us and at least Championship standard. His performance against Arsenal in the 3-2 cup-tie and THAT tackle on Sanchez showed he had ability.

It can surely only be a lack of mental toughness that has resulted in his demise.

Surprised to hear you say that to be honest, I bumped into him outside the club shop about 3 seasons ago, and he seemed very approachable and quite happy to say hello then.

Possibly. Maybe finding himself living in digs in a northern town 250 miles from home, playing for a team at the arse end of League 1, has left him feeling somewhat depressed. Plus of course the realisation that he is never going to make it at the real peak of his profession has finally sunk in.

He knows he is out of there in 2 months, and avoiding injury as he is then a Free Agent.

The post I read was from January, but fans appreciate a trier. Look at how we talked about Kemy.

In defence of Rohan (if this was the 2015 dinner), I did come across all BG and told him that this goal was a fluke.

He was not impressed and he may have got his strop on?

I think it was 2015. Perhaps so! I’m happy to yield to the others saying that he was just fine in their interactions with him - it was the only time I interacted with him.

Can't believe people saying they never rated him. For a season and a half he was outstanding, although he never fit into the system once CH took over. He got rave reviews during his loan spells at Fulham and Swindon so there is definitely still talent there. Hopefully he can get picked up by a decent L1 team in the summer with a manager who will get the best out of him and he can work his way back up to the Championship.

Colunga, O'Grady and Ince all involved in that goal. What a crap team that was.

Wozza · Apr 4, 2018

Had forgotten about Colunga. On the same Cyprus/India circuit as Calderon, I see.

Wozza · Apr 4, 2018

A friend who used to work for Currys told me Rohan Ince once went in the store to sign up for something.

This was just as he was making the bench - and possibly after he'd made a few appearances.

Anyway, whilst doing the paperwork, a junior sales staff member asked him where he worked.

"At Brighton & Hove Albion," said Ince.

"What, behind the bar or something?" asked the kid.

Ooops.

An underrated player Adrian Colunga. I think he we as at Albion at the wrong time, we would have seen the best of him if he was playing in a winning team, not one that was fighting relegation the entire season he was with us.

He wasn't outstanding. Dale Stephens is outstanding, Rohan Ince was perfectly adequate given the rest of the team around him. I've always said that Keith Andrews was enormously underrated and I will always maintain that opinion. Andrews did a lot of mopping up for Ince and JFC. Ince wasn't good at Fulham by the way, they weren't impressed.

I would be amazed to see him work his way back to the Championship, but I have nothing against him. He tried hard for us and he played an important part in a team which came 6th. Thanks for the memories, Rohan! Good luck finding a club in the summer.

Don't forget, some players just go downhill. Ince is one of them.

He was not outstanding. He had a couple of great moments, but he was awful at other times. The backpass at Derby led directly to a penalty, and goal, and a stray pass at Norwich resulted in a corner which also led to a goal, both of which cost us points.

Agreed, thought he showed enough to confirm he had something about him. As it was, we basically only saw him for about 5 months; he arrived on August 24 2014 and joined Granada on loan on January 30 2015, finally departing in October 2015.

That goal he scored at Swindon.... absolutely fantastic.

He won 2013/14 Young Player of the Year Award and was linked to Liverpool amongst other clubs. Stop trying to re-write history.
