BS4 on Tour...

Prior to that the example of Galley that you provided was less than a decade earlier, so we have gone a very long time since seeing such an impressive debut from a striker... albeit it would've been more impressive still had the assists been goals and he had stuck that sitter away! Yep Matty seems well up for the challenge of proving himself a decent championship player, he also must (even subconsciously) wish to ram the vitriol back down the gas throats as they gave him unbelievable grief for having the temerity to wish to better himself and his career!

Albeit a friendly If it was a friendly v the Gas then yes, coz they are never friendlies. Against anyone else, sorry but no it doesn't count.

walshys shuffle Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 off topic slightly here,but how goalscorers have we got from Rotherham? Galley,Goater and Agard to name but three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I also recall David Seal scoring a cracker on debut in a one all v Blackpool in 1995 from about 30 yards out so seeing Taylor's was a tap in maybe the extra 29 yards equates to two assists.

Ivorguy Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Been thinking of false dawns Not City but Glos cricket: Saw David Shepherd score a century in his first innings since joining from Devon. First debut century since Wally Hammond. Heralded as the second Hammond. Really lovely lovely bloke but never a second Hammond. The century was what used to be called 'agricultural'!

You must be far too young not to have seen many false dawns with players at City. Hope he makes it, pleased he scored, but let's wait and see, say us old timers, who have been disappointed so many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Did Lee Matthews make his debut at home to Millwall on a Friday night? Sure he got a last minute penalty in a highly charged game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan was manager for that one and I'm sure Seal was signed by Osman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you call yourself after a player who is most remembered for being a stand in goalkeeper and keeping Watford at bay for about 80 mins in an important one nil win in the promotion winning season of 1954-55. He only played in that position for us once but you seem to have come to an instant judgement to elevate him to hero status. Good full back he apparently was for us mind.

I can only assume Millwall fans had spent the whole afternoon getting tanked up as (if I remember correctly) they kicked off about the same time the actual game kicked off. Whilst I enjoy highly charged atmospheres like that I can understand how a neutral visitor might be put off. That late winner though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been hopeless at sport when picked at right back for school under 11s in The Fifties I was advised to watch Ivor, coming to the end of his career. He was markedly slowing up but his positional sense was as good as I have seen at City. Why you should have taken it upon yourself to put in the public arena why I chose Ivor as a username without knowing anything about me, and little about Ivor I find really odd, but, hell, this is otib. Half of us are barking and the other half hatters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
