The standard of the Scottish prem can't be that good then.

Scott Tanser and Leo Fasan are playing there so, yes, I have to agree.

Can't help but feel that we should've shown more patience to Uche. On his day he was unplayable and was someone who entertained the crowd. He's still only 23 and will go on to have a decent career. Wish him all the best.

People forget how mint this lad could be.

 

Remember beating Doncaster at home and a 20 year old Uche terrorising Rob Jones and Jamie McCombe. Never seen a player receive a reaction like that from the Railway. Dominant.

 

Short memories from some. A good player who thrives on people liking him. Hope he's successful.

Memory check: Did we win 3-2 and he scored late on?

No this was a 3-0 victory. A quick google suggests the 3-2 game with a late Uche winner was Wigan at home.

Thanks, I was sorry to see him leave, thought he wanted to get back down South, didn't expect South of Scotland though. Worth keeping an eye on.

The definition of raw talent. He'd have learnt tonnes if Pope had been around during his spell. Hope he does well.

[Essex Vale]

I agree with all the comments about Uche's play.I thought Rob Page treated him harshly following his sending off at Burton and that was virtually the end of his career with us. He scored goals, worked hard and tested defenders. Notwithstanding my comments about the quality of the Scottish Premier League, I hope he does well there. Shame he is not still with us.

Another in a long line of players we should have kept but didn't.

He was only on loan and he was either very good or awful. Maybe had 4 good games for us.

[SourceOfTheTrent]

He was very raw and may become a better player as his career progresses but I doubt we would be able to match what Hertz will pay him. He could do well there as, as others have said, the standard in the Jock Prem isn't that great and most teams are L1 / L2 standard.

[PVFC764]

All the best at your new club. Hope it goes well there.
