Absolutely no surprise to me. A quality player who imo we should have tried a lot lot harder to keep hold of. 

Still, I'm sure someone will be along to remind me of a couple of crosses into the crowd at the weekend and that current substitute Apter has a higher "ceiling ".

I think Small does have the higher ceiling compared to Apter. But, I'm very happy with Apter and Bree (if we can extend to full season loan or permanent) as the Small replacement.

Small currently in the top 4 for most crosses and progressive carries in Championship. 

Interesting to see the kind of attacking numbers you need to be in the top 9. 

My main take away from that is almost every non-league hope we've signed over the years has been a disappointment, but the one we refused to push the boat out for a little bit was Sorba Thomas, and he's gone on to have a really excellent Football League career. Typical.

What makes it worse is wasn’t that the same summer we signed Kirk?

Almost. Thomas went to Huddersfield in  January, we then signed Kirk that summer.
