Travis was easily our best mid today and we actually started to play one touch Football when he came on.
Wake up CCM and give the boy a new contract!

Well, Porter was good throughout, but at least Travis tried for the short time he was on. Happy if we sign him but we really need a cleanout and there isn't much room to do it.

I know from unimpeachable source. Not happy with Lawrie.
That's a shame, he shows alot of class

Sad if true he has been one of the few rays of sunshine in an otherwise shitty season. I guess being a Manager is all ablout man management so if you think your boss is a dickhead or you don't like him for whatever reason you are going to look for an alternative?

Ever considered that maybe we did offer him a new contract, he just didn't want one?

Travis has be woeful for 6 to 8 weeks now. As soon as it got hot these imports have turned to rubbish. Only game we did well in the heat this season was against Fury and the score flattered us. Travis turns the ball over too cheaply and thinks he the white Pele. He didn't make it not only at Sheffield United but a host of lower league clubs in UK. The signing of imports needs to be looked at for next season. Lower league english players will only come here if not playing first team football and thats the rubbish we have now. McGlinchey, Travis, Crowell and Brown are no better than Bojic, Porter or Heffernan otherwise they would be playing League 1 in england and first team football.

Agree with you about Heff......but Bojic and Porter come on be serious! Last time I checked neither of them are going to South Africa!

Either is Travis, Crowell or Brown. As for McGlinchey he will be lucky to start for the poorest nation at the World Cup. Comparison was Porter and Bojic are putting in consistantly better performances over the last 10 weeks than Travis and co. Brown hasnt even cracked first team and he has been here since November. I would rather stick with local talent than paying overs on players who haven't made the grade at any level in the UK. You can even include Huke in this discussion even though had a bad run of in juries just played 1 first team game this season as he is just not good enough.

That ignorant and ill-informed post sums up what is wrong with CCM.
Too many people involved in the club...especially the coaching staff.....have only a rudimentary understanding of Football.

Show me how i am wrong. Look at the imports of other clubs all have made it or at least played  in top leagues around europe or in there own country eg Kisel, Hernandez. We get scraps from Sheffield United. SUFC told CCM that Wolfe was better than Travis.

Travis has the skill to play here, but not the will.
He cant handle the heat. Watching the players in Perth at half time Travis sat in the shade next to the bench stretching for 10mins. Whilst all the other players were dribbling a ball and passing etc.
