Very interesting insight from the Pink'Un message board

camuldonum wrote this, quoting Roeder:

"Certainly Cureton wouldn't have come back. "What a pity but I honestly think he's gone. Willing lad, gives all. I respect him for trying but it's just not there any more

"We're playing at half speed in the training game and he's missing them there as well. I'm more patient with him than Lee is but I can't afford him. He's a yard off the pass I think and it's not a risk I can take. I don't feel comfortable playing him as a striker - honestly, I think he's gone. It's sad because he loves the game, loves the club. I know he wants to play but he's not scoring in training and not in matches and if he is supposed to be your striker....well.....it's tough on him but who'd play someone who isn't scoring in training or matches. You can't go on that long with it. There comes a cut off point and to be truthful I've reached it."

(Off the record then, but not now)."

And Roeder was right.
