Wimb Cummings had an ok first few games then got torn apart by Jerome Thomas, a former Premier League winger and a man who pretty much had the better of Griff (though not quite to the same extent) last weekend.
Cummings was by no means the finished product and was right to get some stick for some displays. But to write off a 20 year old who has been through the Chelsea system and then played for a decent league 1 side (MK Dons) and West Brom before us would be foolish IMO.

Terminal BoardomAthleticoSpizz ...and that is the end of Cummings career under MaccyD in your opinion then TB?
He is the worst defender I have ever seen play for us.

Smoking Kills Dancing DoeW&E RoyalSmoking Kills Dancing Doe It's no coincidence that our turn round in form has coincided with the arrival of a full back with a pair of bollox on him.
We might not get Griff, but a tough tackling, no nonsense full back of similar ilk, will be what we require.
Cummings needs to grow 4 inches and put on 2 stone. I've seen him up close and was shocked at just how small he was. Looked like a 1st year academy player.
Cummings is 6 foot!! How tall do you want him to be? If he grew 4" then he'd be as tall as Sonko!
'
Edit: Griffin is 5ft 8" and 10 stone 10. Cummings is 12 stone.
Having stood next to him there is no way in a million years he's even near 6ft.

Spot on
I never subscribed to the anti-Cummings reports and I believe he will turn out to be a good right back and a good purchase

Big Foot As for Rosenior - fùck off. Came to the club, played shit (any coincidence that we got relegated and then choked with him in the team??) and then left, badmouthing us in the process. Hope he ends up playing for a no-mark team like Cheltenham or Chesterfield

Think that's a bit harsh, if I recall he was swapped for a player that was slated for being lazy and disinterested. He seemed to perform to his best abilities in a team that decided for one reason or another to stop trying as a unit, the very reason they originally did so well. Everyone suddenly became individuals rather than a team, maybe they were fed up or trying to improve their own careers, but Liam stayed true to the team and was turfed out along with Harper for not being in Brendan's plans. As I recall he didn't want to go. Maybe he wasn't too happy and he said a few things, but was entitled to do considering his treatment.
Thought he was a good team player and deserves our support for his efforts.

Cpl Jones Dont panic What surprised me was the fact that Cummins was captain with Pearce in the side. It seems like Pearce is near the end of his time at RFC , no longer even considerd vice capt. It was noticable that the web site used the heading that Cummins was capt and that seemed more news than the 7 goals. Could this be the start of BM starting the road to get Cummins back into the mindset of the supporters?

Don`t think Pearce isgoing anywhere, considering he signed a new contract in January.
