    Arrived with a bang. Scoring from corners with power. But we play with a high line and full backs up the pitch. He's too slow for that. I thought being an experienced player his decision making and positioning would've made up for that.... but naw 3 times over

    Its a grand old team to play for
    Last player we signed from Brighton was Adam Virgo, he's on par with him.

    People were pishing their pants cos he's from Derry. He's * end of.

    We should be loaning teams like Brighton players, not loaning players off them that can't get a game. Its an embarrassment the way he was heralded the way he was.

    If he was any Celtic fan, he'd return every penny we've gave him and go back to Brighton.

    I’m embarrassed to say I was excited about this signing. Needs benched.

    Every player in our team must be looking at him and thinking to themselves they could earn x millions in the epl considering what this big lump of wood earns.

    Saying he's a poor man's Declan Gallagher is an insult to Declan Gallagher at this point.

    I'd never, to the best of my knowledge, seen him play before we signed him but a lot of the Irsih fans seemed to rate him so I was happy enough to go along with that. I don't know if it's the year of no football has made him regress dramatically or if he was just overhyped, but barring a couple of headed goals he's been poor.

    Maybe we should try him as a striker, at least then there could be someone who can head a ball in the box when we fire in aimless high crosses... What I would give for another Sutton type player right now.

    Brutal although to be fair to him I don't think he is as slow as he looks just now, he's just knackered and probably playing though pain having been thrown in and playing every 3 days on the back of not playing football for a long time.

    Tbf Ambrose had a few mistakes in him as do all defenders but he wasn’t as bad as people made out

    scored 2 goals n First 2 games Duffy then Capitulation, guys used to playing for a team who 4th bottom at the end of a season is a good season, few scrappy draws here and there, doesn’t seem up for a team who have to win 95% of their matches

    Ambrose should not be compared to Duffy. He had a good spell in the side holding out Barca alongside Kelvin Wilson and was a decent footballer. No slouch either.

    Made some crazy mistakes but doesn't deserve this comparison at all. Majstoravic, perhaps....

    People were wrong about him and he’s simply not very good.

    Keep picking a player who keeps making mistakes and guess what? He does it again.

    I knew he was a big guy and slow, but I thought his positioning and game intelligence would be good enough to bail him out comfortably. Turns out his positioning is as bad as his pace, which is a terrible combination.

    He was over hyped,

    i tried to play down his arrival when some on here were getting over excited about him.He couldnt get his game at Brighton (who are average at best but just because he was a big lad from the north people could see no negatives.

    Well now people are seeing what he really is ,and thats nothing special and their not happy.Thing is, as a team their all struggling and while i dont think much of duffy imo he can do a job for us once we get a run going.

    He will score goals and with a settled back four he will hold his own in the league.

    Because some of our support have a hard on for any Irish player and don’t actually have a clue about football.

    The same ones saying stuff like Duffy is ‘exactly what we need’ and ‘will transform the defence’ are the same people who think James McClean would be a good signing because he doesn’t wear a poppy.
