    Maybury was far from dreadful for us. He played 50 games (started 46) and did what was asked of him. He was a good, committed pro in a squad carrying too many passengers.
    He was honking. Ripped up for arse paper on countless occasions. Players like him were part of the reason we went down. Mainly because they were *****. Nothing to do with attitude.

    Maybury was decent.

    He WAS absolutely horrifically slow, but his positional sense was excellent so he didn't end up getting exposed all that often. Every now and again he'd come up against a player who was just too good, young, quick and clever (Stokes destroyed him down his side in the cup final mentioned above).

    Clearly he had great limitations as a player by the time he joined us but he was aware of that.

    Far too much was expected of him ie sticking him in the first team every week, when by that stage in his career he should have been no more than a competent squad player who covered on special occasions.

    It wasn't his fault we didn't have a better option, he gave everything, and I don't think it can have been easy for him playing for us.
