Freddie Sears out in the cold

Where now for Freddie Sears? The arrival of Vaz Te, Maynard and Morrison has reduced his chances of playing again this season to virtually zero. With Allardyce unable to find a place for a keeper on the bench - even when Lansbury isn't getting splinters in his arse - poor Freddie doesn't stand much chance of appearing as a sub, never mind of starting.

Presumably attempts were made to offload him in the window, but like so many, he was awarded an inflated contract under Duxbury. Now he either takes a massive wage cut or rots in the reserves.

It's odd the way his career just goes further and further into reverse. When we were in the Prem , Freddie was deemed good enough for the Championship. True he couldn't score - although how damaging that disallowed goal for Palace has proved we will never know - but he was considered worthy of starting. Now, even the Championship seems above him. He looks all at sea every time he plays, a player short of confidence and sadly low on ability.

Will anybody take him on loan? Let's hope so. Maybe a couple of months in the bottom division, banging in goals, would rehabilitate him. But at the moment, he might as well be a snowman for all he offers when on the pitch.

Sad. Very sad.

  1. Sears needs to realise he won't make the step up any time soon so maybe dropping down a division will do him some good

  2. Perhaps Crawley Town can loan him, after losing Tubbs to Bournemouth in the transfer window.

  4. He can move and take a cut in pay if playing and developing to a higher level is important to him.

    If the money he is making now is more important then it is his own decision to "rot in the reserves".

  9. We have strong links with Dag and Red....maybe with them struggling, palm them off Sears for a month or two loan to get the best out of him
