Title: 180 minutes of twiss to go!
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on April 16, 2012, 08:12:08 AM
I hope he makes an emotional return to Chester city, thus improving our chances two-fold next season.

Was this just season? He's scored 8 in total over 2 seasonS so 2 in 2 isn't unachievable...

I cannot imagine any team going in for him. They'll look at his age and record over the last couple of seasons, then conclude he's finished.

Perhaps if he'd got the weight down earlier and really tried to make his mark he could have had a couple more seasons playing at a vaguely decent level for money. Ah well. We'll be rid soon. His loss.

I reckon Paul McKenna is his agent as he must have done something to Graham Heathcote to make him put a piece of paper with 2 years on it in front of him, especially as we never do 2 year contracts for anyone (and rightly so in most cases)

Looking at this below makes me very sad, because it's more evidence that micheal is/was fantastically talented., Hes has to my mind just shown no enthusiasm here from the minute he stepped on the pitch at Woodley...

I think that is the saddest part, for all the enthusiasm shown to him when he signed (admittedly, overkill on my part because I watched him in United Reserves), I don't feel like we have got anything in return... and I don't just mean goals, its the overall attitude towards the club/fans, I can forgive most players who go through bad spells if they look like they are fully committed to the cause... I just don't feel like MT's heart has ever really been "in it".

There were still shouts of "keep going Twissy" etc at the Halifax game, the fans have tried to be be patient and supportive, when he does go I do wonder if that will be acknowledged at all.

Although Duncan Watmore is still learning his game at this level and is an impact player, I'd start him against Eastwood and let him run them ragged.

I was all in favour of supporting him whilst he was here but really...

What an utter shambles of a signing!

can't wait till twissmas day....opening the programme and seeing all the happy kids faces...

in all fairness to michael, he has been a top player in his time, we may say he morally should have ripped up his own contract at alty as he has not justified or repaid it at all but how many players have ever done that?......lee has got more out of him this season than the cote managed and he has obviously worked hard to lose the weight he disgracefully carried last season...ask any weight watcher it's not easy.....he looked out of his depth at csc level last season and at least got back to BSN standard this season albeit not consistently.

But at the end of the day sadly he was past his best....we move on...twissmas will soon be over...

Good post.

Yeah he's been absolutely useless as a footballer in our beloved Alty shirt, but the guy is a human being and some comments about him are a little too personal.

That 180 proved to be 90 this afternoon - and could be a nice fat zero if he doesn't feature next Saturday.

Was there any link between his not starting today, and the refreshment counter at Eastwood running out of pies before half time  ? Only asking  ;)

To be fair, thats a good assessment.

I think he has done better this year althought the fact remains that he was signed a striker and didnt score goals.
