Today Matt Bloomfield tried to derail our promotion campaign by bidding to sign Wycombe’s greatest football league era striker. ;)

...in 2011 (14 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League Two win over Rotherham United at Adams Park.

The funny thing about Colchester is that Rob Couhig is on record as saying he encouraged the move as prep for him being future Wycombe manager, to the point where Blooms thought RC didn't like him and wanted him out the door.

RC played a blinder, too - Blooms negotiated Colchester paying for his Pro License as part of the contract!

Playing the man rather than the ball is normally a sign you either have no argument, or don't have the ability to make one effectively.

His last two jobs (Hibs and Fleetwood) have been underwhelming to say the least.

Indeed. He's Luton Town manager Matt Bloomfield first and foremost.

Exactly, the whole Mr Wycombe thing has been a joke.

The original point was not about bottling or not bottling but someone pointing out that GA and Dobbo signed players (including Jakubiak) who failed a character test with the suggestion that any sort of character test was not foolproof and therefore not a completely trustworthy metric...or something. I did not recall him being a bad egg though I do recall him dropping like a stone rather than sticking his head in...

Of course, one wonders how Blooms himself passed such character tests, conning Gareth and St Dobbo of Hampshire into making him a coveted General.

Furrow your brow at his Colchester betrayal, wince as he laughs at us from his Luton pile, rage as he shamelessly steals under-contract Kone from us and cry for ‘Ruthless’ Dan Rice - cruelly robbed of another dismissal opportunity.

‘What a fucking rotter’.

'I admire Bloomfield for his tenacity as a player, for surviving a turbulent period for the club and then for his efforts in the first half of the season and while I am disappointed, I can see that he and the new owners did not see eye to eye about the future and he had to leave. But if he comes round here with his mates in his Luton tracksuit, driving his people carrier round the car park, giving it large, talking about being wanted, unsettling our players, knocking over the cones, nicking the bibs and laughing and pointing at our makeshift management team, I would say 'Oi! Bloomfield NOOOO!!'
