I had to really really tjink who some of those players were they left that little of an impression only a season ago
|
| I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas
The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara
I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best |

Looking at that list I'd be interested to know what Edwards contract status is and wouldn't be unimpressed if we had a look at Windsor again in this side.
I think Windsor sometimes flattered to deceive but had moments where he showed he perhaps has something to offer. If Edwards is out of contract then I'd definitely like to see him here. I know he was a little Sousa-ish at times, wanting to do a little extra when it wasn't needed and not always getting the right ball across, but given he's younger than Sousa I think he has that room for finishing off his game and I think PH would be an ideal manager to help him do that.
Edwards was one of the few bright spots in the early season, good on the ball but a young lad still finding his way in first team football. Doubt we would have got him normally, Holloway got him and Morton on mates rates then when he was gone they wanted money and recalled them when we wouldn't pay. Mostly remember Edwards for doing Ben Tozer 2-3 times in a row making him so mad that he stamped on him. |

Surprised. One of the worst players who hasn't had a mention was our current centre back
I would have thought the team that finished the season, relegated, was far better than our current crop. Granted, it lacked McAtee but that's it? What were we in the form table, top half

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

I did it on players that left, hence no Waterfall. I'm not sure if i'm reading your message correctly, but you believe last seasons team is 'far better' than this one? |

Wow!
I'd just sat down to eat my tea when I opened this thread and by the time I got to the end of the first post, I had put down my knife and fork, baked beans were spilling off my plate onto my lap, and my jaw had literally dropped, all without me being aware.
What were Holloway and the board thinking? I know he was a charlatan but surely even he knew that signing all those duff players and loanees was a recipe for disaster. Those three "strikers" he signed from lower leagues were nowhere near the standard required, and he gave one of them a 3 year deal FFS.
This is my 50th season supporting Town and they are without doubt the worst set of players I have ever seen, and they have had some competition for that accolade over the years.

wasn't Tilley bone idle? I seem to remember him for his lack of effort and was glad he went. Showed class at times though but I can't stand people who can't be arsed to put a shift in.
Didn't rate Tilley at all, lightweight and a bit lazy. Williams the same only worse. Edwards was like a league 2 younger sousa |

Happily have Matete and I still think Hendrie was decent. There were some shoots but they were squashed by thr straw chewing girl private and never recovered. Most of those were dreadful…

I seem to remember we had about a lot of players and loanee's, so did a check on where some are now, and if you actually remember them....
Jake Eastwood - If i remember correctly, he was very good - played once for Portsmouth, and Twice for Rochdale since - Would be a good first choice keeper in the future IMO
Luke Hendrie - Went to Hartlepool, then left them for Bradford, Looks like a regular starter for Bradford.
Elliot Hewitt - Went to Mansfield, then the infamous comment from Clough come out 'I think Elliott Hewitt used to play at Grimsby with the lad that scored and made the third goal, and he’s obviously very good friends with him because he’s not tackled him all game' but still been a regular for majority of season.
Pollock - Wen't to Watford, loaned to Cheltenham, and got Young player of the year, exciting times ahead for him! Still only 20, and played around 80 senior games already
Menayese - Went to Walsall, Played majority of games
Idehen - Wen't to Bristol City, and recently got a new contract - Weirdly, i don't remember him as standing out, but i guess playing for a terrible team didn't help, but seems well off Pollock, despite only being a year younger
Habergham - Signed for 'Penisula Power' in Australia in Feb this year
Danny Rose - I forgot, but he's still our player.....
George Williams - Wen't to Barrow, Looks to have played first 15/20 games, mainly from the bench, before another injury - He always looked to be a player, but at same time, looked crap, i think his FGR reputation of being good is carrying him along now
Morais - Once eventually released, he retired
Matete - Went back and become a regular for Fleetwood, before being sold to Sunderland, Started majority up until the play-offs, a bright spark during his time here
Kyle Bennett - Ended up at Telford, then released and signed for Hednesford - Say no more.
El Mizouni - Back to Ipswich and mainly played in cup games for them. They extended his contract until 2024 - I think i only remember him because of his name, no idea if he was any good
Lamy - Ended up in Cyprus, still only 22, one i wouldn't of minded giving a go in non-league
Joe Adams - Went back to Brentford, before being sold to Dundalk - I'm sure he come with big potential from Brentford fans
Green - Went to Linfield, now at Gloucester - For some reason, i seem to remember his exit from Linfield was because of him being a bit naughty, but can't find anything on the old google.
Hanson - Went to Farsley Celtic, then Boston
Montel Gibson - The superstar was released from Stourbridge for being a pri(k again, and ended up back at Ilkeston
Ira Jackson - Plays for Wealdstone, had has scored 3 goals this season.... Remember some being gutted he left, mainly because he was a nice guy
Sisay - Went to 'Haverfordwest' in south wales... some signing that
Payne - Went to Chesterfield, then loaded to Havant & Waterloovile
Danny Preston - Has much to my surprise, ended up at Alfreton in the league below, i remember him being a good LB, and only 21?
Bunney - Went to Altrincham, then Warrington Rylands
Ohman - Back to Sweden, 1st for Falkenbergs, now at Vasalunds
Windsor - Loaded to Newport then Carlisle, now released from West Brom - never seems to play
Bohsni - Mr 'I Ain't Leavin', Wen't on to Barnet, then was due to sign for Dungannon, but ended up in Saudi Arabia, then did eventually sign for Dungannon this year.... apparently
Owura Edwards - Had loans at Exeter & Colchester. didnt do too much at Exeter, but Colchester fans seemed to think he was ok
Tilley - Went to Crawley, played a lot, then all of a sudden went to Dorking on loan, but back playing regularly at Crawley, i think the loan move was due to a crazy manager at the time.
Terry Taylor - Signed for Burton on a permanent, they seem to really rate him, but i don't remember him being up to much.
James Morton - Went on loan to Gillingham, played once, coming on as a sub in the 91st minute...
Virgil Gomis - Ended up back in France after being released by Forest.
That's 30 (Ignoring Rose) players that played a part last season, that are no longer with us..... Incredible
Cured my boredom for a while anyway
Brilliant piece of work. Nice to get informative post . |

Yeah Danny Preston was miles off it. Sisay must be in with a shout for the worst signing ever title though?
Surely that accolade goes to Serge Makofo. |
