RedM Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 His hometown club, where's he going to go now! Part if the problem whilst he was here was he didn't see the players during the week much, he chose to stay up in Chesterfield. The players had a free reign to party, and party they did. So even him living on the doorstep didn't help Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no Wilson didn't win anything but you could blame Lee Miller for that. How he missed that tap in at the County Ground in the last min is one of footballs mysteries......

As Chris Kamara would say... I will agree during his 2nd season we played the best football I have seen city ever play for a 14 game period. With Tinman in the middle with doc and a rotation of clist and burnell. Murray and brown out wide. Even better than the Jordan team for that 14 game period.

More than Wilson did. Getting promoted is crap though, isn't it? Wilson worked out early on that if you bobbed around near fourth place every year, never actually won a game that mattered, yet hammered the likes of Colchester and Walsall at home there would be some sad sorts on here claiming the football was "really good" over 10 years later.. Clearly 4 straight years of massive underachievement (Jordan, Ward, Johnson and Cotterill all got us promoted in less than half the time he was in charge) was all down to that one missed open goal, not a total lack of professionalism off the pitch and a drinking culture that saw us a complete laughing stock..

Not the best football I've seen at BS3 but easily the most successful in my Gate career Nearly 100 League goals in a season, usually a pretty good benchmark, fluid football most of the time, surely the best? Certainly best I have seen over a season (started going 1998/99). Total for that season 116 goals in all comps. Joe Jordan's season would have to have been pretty damn good to top that.

One BCFC Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 As a youngster, 01/02 and 02/03 seasons were my first memories of City - absolutely fantastic football, Murray seemed like he would score at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotterill's team was dull in comparison. The football was not of course always of a high standard but there were games where the football was simply beautiful. The away wins at Birmingham, Cardiff and Swansea were also witnessed by vociferous old skool away supports of thousands on terraces. Football and football experiences we will never return to.
