Great fella, great attitude, just not at it.

Compare him to David Silva who shows great runs, skill etc but hardly ever gives the ball away. Cant really follow why people cant see this problem in SWP, it's pretty blatant.


I thought he was close to embarrassing. I used to watch him playing at Platt lane as a kid & he was my favourite player when he got through to the 1st team but his lack of football intelligence is worse now than it was then! Stuart Pearce coached him personally, specifically not to make the very mistakes he constantly makes now. It's just not good enough. He should have worked harder at his game rather than thinking he'd made it when he left City. I would love him to be a regular player in this team but I honestly can't see him being here next season & it's all his own fault. Waste of a huge talent. That makes me sad.



There was one point in the second half were silva gave him a great ball on the the line and he simply tried to cross the ball without looking up.
It was very poor.
I think SWP is City through and through but there are so many good players competing for his place.

A Squad Player at best.

Wondering is that last 'A' a nearly deleted sentiment that you found too emotive to post about SWP cos you love him too much?! Haha.

Not taking the piss; I find him very hard to judge objectively having seen him progress from a young, tiny ball of raw ability and speed, into a very small bundle of not quite as much speed and ability that surely should be more finely tuned by now.

We shuold definitely keep him, he's the type of player that can come up with one of his specials and win us a final. I feel that. A lot of us feel that (I've done my research). Yes it's a dream, but we are making our dreams come true with disarming regularity at the moment. Shaun for me, is someone who should be part of our plans.

I thought he was alright last night and I've slagged him before when I felt he deserved it.
