The goals he scored in the promotion season were worth more than the £50k. Apart from Rory Gaffney, DC did worse when spending money.

I like Loft. He had a little purple patch last Autumn when it looked like he would kick on but unfortunately it didn’t quite happen for him. He’s not a bad player at all but as it stands, it’s hard to see him getting too much playing time. Things can change though. If he moves on, I think he’ll do OK. He’s certainly not the dud some people on here paint him out to be.

Think it would be dangerous selling Lofty with no replacement.

If he does leave, the stewards will be happy that the chance of pitch invasions has been reduced.

I'm 100% genuine when I say this. I don't know how the hell loft has made it as a professional footballer. He is in the top 5 poorest ability wise players I've ever seen in a gas shirt. 10/10 for effort can't fault him for that but he just cannot play football. He has the worst first touch I've ever seen in the professional game. For a big lad wins next to nothing in the air. I could go on and on. He's not even in the top 50 poorest players to play for us. Just in his position off the top of my head, Dave Gilroy, Jefferson Louis, Mitch Harding, Derek Riordon,Chris Beardsley, there's 5 straight away, took me about 5 seconds. Loft isn't good enough for where we want to be but to suggest he's in our top 5 poorest players is nonsense. Agree, it's a dickhead comment. |

Justin Richards springs to mind if talking about poorest strikers , can’t fault loftys effort , Would do a job for someone I’m sure , still relatively young ! Gerry Francis moulded Devon White into a prem striker don’t forget!

If you disagree with wallywalters then explain why, rather than type something you'd not say to his face. |

All of those players you mention were extremely poor but loft was so bad. His effort and commitment gloss over how poor he is as a footballer imo. |

As Loft showed at PV he was capable of scoring the odd decent goal not sure those listed were capable of doing that in the Quarters. You do wonder if Loft would be better dropping down to a top 7 L2 side than join another L1 side, although PV must think he's still got something to offer at this level. |

Rune Johansen - I bet the Cardiff defenders still have nightmares about facing him

We sold Julian Alsop for 30k.
Sure he was worse than Loft.

His main issue is that he's not been a great sub. As a number 9, you're usually competing for 1 or 2 positions. Have to make an impact when you get a few moments.

He will probably go elsewhere do ok, like Telford and Nichols, and Low and undroppable Tom and Forster, and Chris the crab and Zamora. If he's deployed and played to his strengths I'm sure he'll be just fine. |

I'd put alsop slightly above him as I'm sure he went on to score quite a few goals for Cheltenham one season after he'd left us. Alsop also won balls in the air. For a player of lofts size he must lose 80% of headed battles with centre halves. I'd love to know the exact stat. |

His run and dinked finish away at Port Vale was brilliant, it required skill,panache and technique. I remember the little back healed flick to set up Collins for the equaliser at home to Plymouth last season which was brilliant too. Those players I mentioned didn't have that in their lockers. He's nowhere near to being one of our worst ever players. |

He can't control a ball, he isn't skillful , he doesn't win headers , he's an awful finisher and that's his job as he's a striker. What are his strengths? Il give you running and effort but I can name you 5 or 6 Sunday league players who give them the 8 odd years professional football training lofts had would run all day for you and be able to control a ball. |

I'm sure you could put a you tube reel together for Dominic blizzard and find 2 pieces of skill. There's no getting around the fact loft has been poor and is a poor footballer regardless of one dinked finish and a cheeky backheel. |
