I see him a bit like McPhee, Dinger knew him to be a model professional who would come in and sit on the bench without complaining. I fully expect him to be replaced by another similar player next summer.

Its known as acute Constantine-itus.

You know the symptoms - a decent loan spell is followed by a contract offer and expectation from the crowd. What follows is a steady loss of form and increased frustration and tension. Normally the only way this can be cured is for the player to be "transplanted" to another club, where normally they will flourish.

Unfortunately this illness is highly contagious - as well as affecting Jarvis it has got to Poke and Bodin too, and to some extent Oastler.

We used to have an immunisation program, as clearly Craig Taylor and Brian McGlinchey were immune back in 2003/4, but those days are long gone.

He's alright, he's not Rene, but given half a chance he'll get a shed load more goals than seventy grands worth of Bodin.

Matt The n00b.
