Tilley's had an excellent start to the season.

Always thought he looked a good player here and then whenever he's played against us since, couldn't quite get my head round it not working for him.  Homesick perhaps?  Rest of his career has been in the South East area so understandable if so.

Really? I thought he looked lightweight for us, and mediocre, not bad just mediocre.

Didn't impress me against Wimbledon either, he's just about ok at this level, probably appear impressive in the NL.

For the record, Everton scored on 73 and 88 to win 2-1.

I don't think it was worth starting a new thread just to say Donny were leading.

Ahem , as leader of the unnecessary post group and self proclaimed king of unnecessary posts I’d like to say you are correct in your observations. 👍🏻

He looked better than some of the excrement Paul Hurst brought in at that time.

I went to Donny v Everton. Only a tenner for 60+ seniors.

I thought Donny played well. Everton were woeful for much of the game but Rovers were much better than their league position suggests.

Which isn't the worst shout in the world.  

Hurst went onto bring Julian Lamy, Joe Adams and Idris El Mizouni in to play in wide positions.  El Mizouni was a curious one as he's looked excellent since going elsewhere. Lamy has gone onto play in the Cyrpiot league, not even in their top flight but the second tier.  Adams went to play for Dundalk in the Irish League and then 10 games for Southport in the Conf. North before getting released.

Tilley made 83 appearances with 11 goals for Crawley and is currently on a return of 4 from 5 at AFC Wimbledon.  I'm not saying he's a world beater, but I think he's gone onto be consistently better than pretty much every winger we've brought in the two-and-a-half years since he's left.
