Asked a Luton supporting pal of mine how CMS was doing and his response could have been taken off this site last year pretty much verbatim.
Crowd is split, half of them are praising his effort and telling those calling him an expensive show pony that he isn't getting the service or they aren't playing to his strengths. The other half think Still has wasted a large chunk of their playing budget on a hair do that chases his own tail for 90 minutes.

More baffling for me was the borderline hero-worship from some on here for McCourt. A couple of mazy dribbles in the centre-circle followed by a shot into the defenders legs and people were in raptures, bemoaning the fact that we could only witness his "rare talent" in brief cameos from the bench.
Did he ever get credited with so much as an assist in his time here ?

Bojan back from injury in the Stoke side. Bojan v Paddy in a flair skill-off.
It's not that surprising given the dearth of excitement when he wasn't on the pitch. And there's nothing wrong with a mazy dribble.
But yeah - neither are missed for anything other than emotional reasons.

Last season you could say the exact same thing about Kaz, except a bit further up the pitch. Who knows what Paddy could have contributed with a proper run of games?
He couldn't even do enough to force himself into one of our worst midfields in recent memory. And during his appearances from the bench, it was quite plain to see why. He was gubbins.
Kaz had a ropey season too of course, along with everyone else. But his pace meant he did at least provide an outlet, and he was also prepared to work back and help out. Not much he did came off in an attacking sense, but his contribution was ten times that of McCourt.

Putting it into perspective, we did have such showers of shite as Gary Gardner and Leon Best last season that McCourt was a breath of fresh air. It shows how god awful we were last term.
We'll just have to agree to disagree then Easy. To my mind, Paddy had the potential to be our George Boyd. Guess we'll never know now tho eh?
