Is he still with us? Sure we were told before Christmas that he was back on the grass. Since then, not a single mention of his name.


if only there was a journalist who could ask...

Would we have been relegated from League One if we didn't sign Tucker? Seems harsh, but despite some overall good moments, he is unbelievably error prone. I don't think there has been a single game where he has not made one big error. Sometimes he is punished, while at others he is let off the hook.

I remember watching some clips of his time at Gillingham and recall at the time that on a lot of goals they conceded, he was always very close to the scoring player but never able to prevent the goal, which concerned me. I also just watched the highlights from the 4-4 game with Barnsley and its the same for most of their goals. He is there, but just not quite enough to prevent his man scoring.

I said in another thread, that if you take the mistakes out of his game, then you'd think he's had a good game and not the reason for us conceding, but if you take a deeper look like the analysts would be doing, I think there is something wrong with his game. Its no coincidence that every manager he has played under while with us has dropped him.

Tucker wasn't the sole reason for us being relegated, so if we took him out and replaced him with someone else I reckon we'd still have gone down

Is he injured or just down in the pecking order?

Who cares, the good thing is he's not involved.

Yep, I think he will be gone in Jan.

I'm guessing so far down the pecking order. We saw MJ Williams preferred to him against Swindon and Cheltenham, and he had a bit of a stinker in the EFL Trophy game in the middle of those fixtures

It sadly never worked for him. At the time the signing made sense, I think most of us were pretty excited. But he's largely looked a nervous wreck since his arrival. My guess is he ends up having a solid L1 career elsewhere because sometimes that is just how it works.

He needs a team who don't play it around the back.

If Tucker has time to think then we are in trouble.
