All Kyle Eastmond Chatter : Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:56 pm
Despite us not losing today it seems Kyle has turned into a scapegoat already. Everything was his fault today somehow or other.I mentioned in the player ratings it wasn't his day, it clearly wasn't. The things he tried didn't really come off and he seemed a little off. But before we tee off on him and have him strung up I think we need to recognise it's the first game of the season and he's spent most if not all the off season recovering from injury rather than actually running through drills with the boys. So there is bound to be a bedding in period again.
His decision as to whether to leave the sport or not is obviously an enormous one and probably one that will define how his life and certainly his career pans out. That for a bloke of what 18/19/20/21??? is a big thing. Lets not forget he is a Saints player and deserves our support until he leaves the club. Jammer is another in a similar position and he won't take the stick Kyle seems to be set for. If someone had offered me a salary twice as large at that age I would have had my head turned, everyone needs a little perspective here I feel.
Another factor is that he might read these boards. If there is still a decision to be made it won't be too good if he's reading the stuff on here. He certainly isn't taking the mickey from what I've seen, working hard to get back from injury earlier than expected and putting in 80 minutes today.
