Good luck to the lad but he was a bit of a ‘meh’ signing for me. Over the coming years will get lost in the other names of players during are championship adventure who just weren’t quite good enough.

That is absolutely f*cking mental, to me.

He's directly responsible for literally half of my favourite moments of the last two seasons - the sh*t I watch on youtube when half-cut on red wine on a random Thursday night.

I don't know how anyone who was at those games, or experienced those moments, could ever forget them - and by extension Shemmy.

Romeny I'll forget, Krastev too. Even MPH.

But not Shemmy. No f*cking chance.

And if I'm ever in danger of doing so I'll just watch this, with the volume up, for the 985th time...

For me he has been ok and scored some good goals but overall he has been average or injured.

Oddly despite his absolute worldies, actually think the moment he most looked like a footballer for us was his composure and finish against Ipswich.

Saw that side of him extremely rarely.

Totally agree. That goal was a rare moment where mercurial talent and footballing brain were in sync. The way he sort of cut inside slightly to block off the trailing defender and then get him in position for that shot was proper top notch stuff.

I will miss him loads and would have loved him to stay - but squad member in a League One side probably has limited appeal for him. He seems like a real family guy when I have seen the club videos with him so I hope him, his wife and daughter settle really well in the US and have a great time.

That's exactly what I am saying. Now you have to do penance by getting your hair cut like Shemmy and only eating kabanos for the rest of the week.

In that case, if you were a true romantic then you wouldn’t have forgotten about pickle juice which is what Shemmy drinks during games. Shame on you!

Watching that has made me even more excited at the prospect of beating Mansfield 2-0 at home in front of 6,987 next season. Bring it on.
 
He doesn’t deserve a ‘good riddance’ but I’ll be glad to see the back of him. Way too inconsistent and injury prone. OK, he’s not been available for every one but 92 Championship games we will have had and he’s properly affected about five or six . Has pace to burn, more than most, but just doesn’t use it - he’s infuriating to watch, constantly checking back and just no confidence to take on the full back in a straight foot race. Compare to Mills who gets the ball out of his feet so much quicker than Placheta can, that gives him a great head start on the defender and he’s haring towards that by-line. Better delivery too. Less spectacular goals than Placheta but a far more complete winger.
 
Dreadful football player, who like most professional footballers, has the ability to score a worldie once or twice a year. I don't buy into this 'equally frustrating as he was enjoyable' - he was honking.
 
He will smash it over there all you need is pace and he will get way more time on the ball in the final third so he won't be under pressure and totally fluff it as he did with us too many times. Enjoyed his moments just was not consistent I think that is the story of his career tbh.

On a side note, the other week I showed a Polish mate a pic of him and he said real Polish men don't have hair like that! :ROFLMAO:

I've always liked the contrast between Helik and Płacheta - one a traditional Polish man, honed by centuries of hard work and oppression, the other a true product of the collapse of communism and influx of Western values. They seem to get on.

Spot on. The two sides of the Polish character. I imagine Helik has no truck with drinking pickle juice and gently chides Shemmy for it in a fatherly way as he downs his third bowl of borscht.
 
For me, he has been emblematic of our Championship journey - some real magic moments...but most of the time found wanting at this level with some odd decision making.
 
Thanks for the memories but onwards and upwards we must go ! A lot say Mills is better but will he go or will he stay , please give me a pat on the back we must go e I e I ho a song sung on the terraces, go or will he stay a song by the Clash !
I will take a bow wow wow , another song , Daddy wouldn’t buy me a bow wow , get me coat shall I !

I don't think Helik is as old as you seem to think he is!

Only two years between them.
 
I thought Placheta was/is in equal measures exciting and frustrating.

There was a patch where he looked like an excellent wide player. Then he scored an excellent goal and the next few games were marked by him thrashing the ball at the goal virtually every time he got it! I always wanted to see him played on the left wing for a sustained period - but presumably that was a bad idea, because it never happened.

I do think he was quite missed at the end of the season. At the very least he would have provided an option off the bench, when it always looked unlikely that the subs would change things.

Playing largely for a manager that didn't want to attack, or play with the ball, or allow their wingers much attacking discretion.

Agree with this. He obviously was frustrating at times, but equally no where near as bad as some are making out and in my opinion he was criminally under-utilised.

It was, ironically, during Rowett's first 7 games before we decided to slog our way to safety in which we saw what he was really capable of, particularly the three-game winning run at the start in which he scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists. I also remember him being an absolute menace in the 1-0 home win against Blackburn, which still holds up as one of our best attacking performances in the Championship.

He's called out for his inconsistency and lack of output, but equally he did also demonstrate in a very small window what we could have had if we didn't constantly give him the ball in his own half with his back to goal, and had players capable of regularly playing him in down the channels.
