JM91 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Deserves a good reception, hard-worker, honest player. I didnt think he was great personally, but I wouldnt applaud him just for that. I feel like he gave a lot back to the community and the club.

Super Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I think the fact that he cared put him above a lot of the players at the club at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 He seems determined to play against us as he was on loan at Oldham when we played them last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 He must have done a lot that was right when he was here as nobody has a bad word to say about him. I hope he plays and has a good game. He can even score as long as City win by at least 3 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, looking at his stats since he left City technically 1 and half years ago his goal tally since is 3. 3 goals since leaving us. Clearly the grass wasn't greener leaving us; far from it. Actually I will add I thought it did very well with us, and had fantastic passion.

BristolBEAT Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wilbraham offers so much more. Stead wanted to go back to Yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wilbraham offers so much more. Stead wanted to go back to Yorkshire. Can't argue with your second sentence. In my opinion - just an opinion - your first sentence is as about as wide of the mark as the distance between here and Bradford. And back again. Wilbraham's splendid contribution this season notwithstanding. Just my opinion, not looking for an argument. Jon Stead will get three cheers from me. Wilbraham and the team considerably more if they keep up current form. Up the City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Jon Stead. A lot of what is wrong with English football. Lorded a hero and loved.....because he was a 'trier'. Gave 100%.....but was only average, made to look better by an extremely poor team at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave 100%.....but was only average, made to look better by an extremely poor team at the time Damnit! I would have guessed the astronomical wages due to the ludicrous TV deals, thus alienating the common fan from those who play for their club. You win some, you lose some I guess.

The Red Planet Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sure he will get a great reception.Hopefully as good as Jamie McCoombe got when we played Doncaster a few weeks back.As other have said, Stead is not an outstanding player, but he certainly worked hard throughout every game he played for us.

Gave 100%.....but was only average, made to look better by an extremely poor team at the time I think a lot of what is wrong with English football is players that are happy just to pick up a wage who don't give a shit about the club and the fans, which is something you cannot say about Jon Stead, he'll get a round of applause from me on Tuesday.

Clearly the grass wasn't greener leaving us; far from it. Actually I will add I thought it did very well with us, and had fantastic passion. Not as bad as Maynard, who left us almost three years ago now and has only scored 8 goals since.

Spot on, whatever you think about his ability Steady was/is a model pro who really seemed to care about our club and always gave his all.

As for JS, he's one of those that I will certainly applaud. Worked his socks off every time he pulled on the shirt and, for a side that was full of players who certainly didn't show the same effort. He also seemed to be one of the senior pros at the forefront of community activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you consider Maynard's pedigree as goal scorer you would have to suggest that eight in three years is pretty poor in comparison to that of Stead, who hasn't scored many wherever he's played throughout his career.

Admittedly statistically I'm slightly off but there's that and the fact that we sold Maynard arguably at an age when strikers are supposed to be in their prime whereas Stead was going back to his local club to end his career.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 We all liked him for his hard work and great attitude but too be fair his goalscoring record was decent. 20 goals in 79 league games means a goal in just under every 4 games, which gets you 10+ a season in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
