Wilder on Evans

['Doc' Pace my hero]

When I first heard the news that he was coming back, I wondered why the club would want to attract the inevitable unwanted attention. The timing was wrong too, although it was leaked.

But the more I think about it, the more I think it's a no-brainer really from a footballing and financial perspective.

I pretty much thought the same as you.However,the most important thing to come out of all this is that Ched can carry on the rest of his life innocent of the terrible crime that he was accused of.If he can be successful in his return to Championship football as well,it will be a truly remarkable achievement,i wish him well !!

The bit that excites me is the prospect of seeing Evans feeding off passes from Fleck and Coutts - he had KMac back in the day but not much else from a creativity perspective.

Erm, Quinny, Williamson and Lowton weren't exactly terrible. Didn't Quinn get the most assists in the division while he was here?

Although I am looking forward to seeing Ched after a proper pre-season.

The Ched Evans we will see next season is a completely different person from the one we saw before. He has learned some big lessons in life and will now know he has a load of work to do to make up for lost time and wasted opportunity. It just could make him a better player than he was ever gonig to be, who knows? In his first two years with us he had 'attitude' and thought it would all fall into place for him; he now knows you have to earn everything in life including respect.

Anybody deserves a second chance in life and I like the connection with Mitchell at Chesterfield as he knows all the background about Ched and his attitude since he left prison and returned to football.

The Ched we watched against us was far more hardworking and physical than the one we watched. If he can reproduce that week in week out we will have some player on our hands. Personally I have doubts he can but at the modest costs we have now been made aware of it is an interesting gamble by our manager who didn't have to take the risk. The signing could affect the changing room but Wilder must believe Ched has changed a lot by now in more ways than one, on and off the field.

But how many of those were through balls that split the defence apart? I'm a big Quinny fan, ditto Williamson and Lowton, but don't see any of them as being in the same mould as Fleck or for that matter Coutts.

I'd say Willo, Quinn and Lowton made us pretty creative. He also had the selfless toiler Cressy alongside him.
