Hello Seldom. Are you related to the Fundamentally-Wrongs?

No, they're from High Green. My father was an Izzy-Wrong.

If by 'seen him' you mean you've watched the team play when he's on the pitch then yeah, you might get the impression that he's putting a shift in and getting loads of work done.

If however you've watched him for 5-10 minutes (actually 90 seconds is enough) and you still think he's doing anything like a good job....well...each to their own!.

Not sure I said I thought he was doing a 'good job'..

I wouldn't have offered him a new contract and I wouldn't have him in the team this season but that doesn't mean I'm going to get all hysterical and say I'd rather play with 10 men. You seem slightly obsessed: watching him instead of the game etc..

I genuinely think that there are times when we would be better off with ten men that playing JOC. Other players assume that he will pass to our men. He was the only player in L1 with a pass completion rate last season of under 50% (he got 37%). A monkey kicking a ball randomly would do better than that. This is without mentioning him running into our players, heading the ball backwards and giving away dangerous free kicks.

The Last word? I doubt it!

To be fair though, he does clap well.

The thing that amazes me is when one of our defenders looks over at an opposition player, sees that JoC is covering them, so picks someone else up. 5 seconds later that first player is in an acre of space and JoC is nowhere to be seen!

It also scary how easily (and often) he loses the ball in dangerous situations.

I appreciate that he's a trier and has to provide for his family. But he's not good enough to play at a professional level anymore. Weirdly its his brain rather than his physical ability that has gone. Ordinarily its the other way around!

Still he wears the blue and white so we aren't allowed to criticise

Affectively thats what we do when he does...er..."Play". I read his Wiki page earlier and it stats that he was a fans favorite at Burnely and that he showed good form when Coyle first took over and was ever present, now if he showed it at Burnley then why in name of god hasnt he ever shown it here??? When I see him play he, like you say madsteve, runs into team mates, gives the ball away in dangerous situations and Giving away dangerous free kicks, sorry but to those few that back him or call to give him a chance, he has had three years to do that and he hasnt shown any form of good form and consistancy, it's bewildering that 3 managers have stuck with him. Id love to know what was so brilliant about him when he was at Burnley

Sorry, I overlooked the worst thing about JOC - he never gets injured!!!

.......although he has injured a few team mates!

So is this the final word?

JoC is useless. FACT!

OK. You can close it now GY-F.

Not so fast, chupa! I'm sure he's got some uses. I reckon he's just the man to help me bag up some builders' rubble for the tip.

Knowing JoC you'd end up with a load of junk from the tip piled on top of your rubble.
