Spud55 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Best keeper we have had in the time I have been watching City so far, only keeper that I think could have proved to be better were it not for injuries would have been Billy Mercer.

David James gets a lot of unwarranted criticism but I saw him save two penalties for City in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Couldn't agree more with the comments on Bentley. At the time maybe a gamble with his dip in form, but I think we all know that was a mind and confidence thing, than than a physical thing. His 1 on 1's is up there with Peter Schmeichel IMO. Love his song, but still can't work out all the words with being a bit Mutt & Jeff Can someone please give me the full transcript! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 If we are talking about forgotten men, I’d like to applaud Tommy Rowe. Bought as a back up utility player from a lower league. Only supposed to be a reserve, he has covered for JD admirably. Well done Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to include Heaton aswell surely? Despite shipping 80 odd goals was it? He was our player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let one through his legs in the first couple of minutes of his debut in front of the EE. That was his one and only game wasn’t it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Who can forget O'Donnell watching the fireworks and conceding that goal? Which then saw us go on that incredibly bad losing streak which he kept goal for in I think all of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately his signing probably accounted for Coppell leaving after 2 games in charge, and the subsequent relegation battles. So I think he was judged on who he was, and he certainly had some good games, but plenty of few howlers, which sort of reflected his career. But factor in the fact that he was 39 or 40 when we signed him, and by the end of his 2 year contract he was responsible for an absolute howler against Watford, which put us right in the mire. Del-boy dropped him for Dean Gherkin and we were unbeaten in the last 8 and avoided relegation quite comfortably (remember the Easter weekend away to Forest - Louis Carey head-bandaged interview on Sky and then beating Coventry at home a few days later). By then his confidence was totally shot. Having said all that, totally agree with the comments on DB. Another keeper that was slightly underwhelming was Bo Anderssen signed by Benny...don't think he has been mentioned yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can`t remember him ever playing again for us TBH. We went through a run of loan keepers early that season IIRC - must have been an injury to whoever was first choice? 1984 it was. Edit; just wiki`d him. He did only play the once and is now a double glazing salesman in Southampton. Born in Ilfracombe too - never knew that, I`m surprised there isn`t a blue plaque in the town commemorating the event! He also played in Bournemouth`s famous 2-0 win over Man Utd in the cup and was rewarded with a year`s supply of pizzas from a local restaurant!
