He had three seasons with us,. In 21/22 season he scored 2 goals and had 4 assists. In 22/23 he scored 4 goals and had 2 assists. In 23/24 he scored 1 goal and had 1 assist. As i said earlier plenty of blood and guts but very little creativity. Compare his assists to Barlasers(who you dont rate ru66) and i think you will see Barlaser created more in the 5 months before he left than all of Rathbones 3 years here. Everybody loves a trier like Rathbone but to succeed at a higher level we need something a bit better imo.


Who can do some ratting & get us forward Rathbone could. Barlaser was a luxury for us with his game when it came off which weren't enough. Vaulks when he was here type of player now we could do with win ball lay it off then get forward could take right footed corners & free kicks also.
