Steady on lads, I know Duane very well and some or the stuff being said is very unfair. He would be the first to tell you that he needs to work on aspects of his attitude and his game but he loves Town and loves the game and has time for anyone. I won't be going into further details re attitude or fitness but his asthma definitely restricts his fitness levels much as it did with Boothy at that age til it was sorted. Give the lad a break he is a good kid, massively talented and is trying to make a career - he is well aware believe me of how important this spell is a Bury. Well said.

He got 45mins yesterday, hopefully Flitcroft will soon throw him in from the start. Its up to Duane how this all turns out he's got ability but will have to work really hard to overcome his shortcomings. Wish him the best unlike some on here it seems

Two contacts. Firstly, a fan ... - Holmes goes on short bursts then loses it too easily
- Not strong enough on the ball
- No end product
Then an 'insider' ... ALLEGEDLY ... - Bury are VERY happy with his footballing skills
- They are very UNHAPPY with his fitness levels
- They are very unhappy with his attitude - apparently when asked to do things in training his response is "We don't do that at Huddersfield"
Looks like we can expect him back any day now ... He hasn't trained with us since Chris Powell took over so how would he know what we now do in training he might of been talking about defending set pieces

I could have sworn he had already come back as a ball boy in the Kilner kid was spitting image of him. Seriously he has to buckle down and get on with progressing otherwise I`m afraid he is on his way out.

Very surprised that fitness may be an issue for him as I'm sure I recall Robins saying he was at the top or near enough of most of the pre season fitness tests last year

Have to say when collecting my 2 boys kits for Christmas last season, Duane was in the Town shop. I got no sense of attitude or do you know who i am, al la that c**t Jack Hunt. He was very accommodating, signed both shirts and allowed myself to have pic taken with him, came across as a sound lad, with no chip at all. Hope he sorts it out, other wise he will find himself becoming just another player who pissed great potential up the wall.

I don't think this spell at Bury will make or break him. He is a very slight young man with bags of skill... not attributes you see very often in the very physical league 2.
He is bound to have lumps kicked out of him in that league with much less protection from the refs, perhaps that is why he is being eased into the side.
If he learns how to handle himself in that league he should prosper in ours.

Is that dfacey1 2 or 3 ? Or his " mate" Zingzilla ? I didn't realise a ban was so easy to be resurrected from ... If I'd known I'd have given a few on here both barrels and now be tedchips793

Point I'm making Dig, is that if he isn't injured then he can't even force his way into a third division squad. So not really wishing him any ill at all.
