New Dazzler Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Made me laugh when he went through a list of about 10 GKs, Welch, Leaning, Waugh, Sinclair etc. without a single mention of our "trophy" signing David James. There was also some banter about doing a similar poll for the worst team, Twentyman decided he might find it difficult getting the players live on the phone during the show!

Eliott did much more in his one superhuman season plus was promoted with us too. I also feel Noble is given too much love considering he underperformed most of his time with us compared with his natural talent. I prefer Tommy Doc for his years of effort, albeit with a gag in his mouth. But Newman best of the lot. Our problem was it was the players surrounding Hartley he was 2 steps ahead of anyone around him, he’d play a through ball which ended up looking shite as the players around him weren’t on the same wavelength and instead of making a run they just stood and watched. Hartley was class just a shame we didn’t utilise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Given our lack of historical success, surely the question is (almost) 'who, for a title winning team that also lifted the lower league cup giving us our best season in donkeys DOESN'T make the line up'. Read like that, the final result looks even more surprising. Granted, people are selecting individuals rather than a blended 11, but all the same, surprised there isn't more acknowledgement of that particular side.

Yes, what a character ....remember one game v Norwich I think - he came on as sub as City were about to defend a corner, he runs directly into the 6 yard box - looks to check the ref wasn't looking - and headbutts Phil Boyer smack in the face before the ball has even come into play. He could play a bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was worth the £1M pa on it's own Actually he did us a favour by doing that as, IIRC, Del-Boy then dropped him for Dean Gerken, and we went on an 8 match unbeaten run, which may have started with a great DG display when we beat Forest 1-0 at their place - live on Sky with Louis Carey red head-bandaged interview after the game. That run saw us stave off relegation relatively comfortably. Thanks Jamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yes, without a doubt. Most of our ex-managers have either immediately (Coppell) or gradually (Wilson, Benny, Ward, Smith, Osman, Lumsden, GJ, SOD etc) had careers that have gone in the wrong direction . Admittedly Millen had a considerable amount of success as an assistant at Palace, Joe Jordan became a bit of a journeyman coach, and Del-boy got back to his level in Scotland. The only other manager I can think of that did well after leaving us was (and still is) Roy Hodgson,but he left in 1982 so outside of the 35 year time--frame.
