Dullmoan Tone Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Northern Red said: Niki Maenpaa is at Venezia and has played a few games in Serie A this season, although they've since signed Romero the ex-Man Utd keeper on a free so he's now back on the bench. I still think if Niki M had been able to stay fit he would have been our long term number 1. It was so frustrating when he started to get a run and show good form he would be injured again. One day we should probably have a City injury 11 - with Joe as captain and Nathan as coach (he will be unavailable for selection) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 The treatment of Marinovic was pure bullying on here. Looked nervous at kicking as he might be on his debut , let in one goal which he could do nothing about and didn't cost us anything. Not our best keeper ever but not deserving of the infamy 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recall Nathan Abbey? Abbey was signed by GJ as cover for Basso (who did have a tendency to go off injured a lot) & also probably as part of his plan to get Phillips to leave. He was a journeyman L1/L2 standard keeper & made his only appearance for us as a sub on the last day of the season at Southend (Goater’s retirement game) when you guessed it, Basso went off injured.. We released him that summer & signed Chris Weale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Northern Red said: Yep, from pretty much the day he walked through the door, with the exception of the L1 promotion season various managers were constantly trying to upgrade on him. Apart from Maenpaa he saw them all off. The various managers were Lee Johnson…. Think Steve Cotterill always played him when fit. Fielding had gone by the time Lee was replaced.

But it would seem that he had his time in the sun, at Dijon FC between the ages of 22-25, when he was scoring comparitively regularly ..........27 in 107 games. Now increasingly approaching his Sell By Date? Still probably made a few quid out of it, but flattered to deceive, and is an average journeyman who never fullfilled early promise? `One goal in 8 appearances at RSB. Most definitely a nearly man? I thought it was 3/14 for Red Star Belgrade at the moment and they are 2nd in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) We had Boaz Myhill, Ben Foster and Wayne Hennessy on loan as back-up to Steve Phillips. None made a first-team appearance, but all went on to play in the Premier League. John Ruddy was an emergency loan for Basso in 2006-07, making one appearance away at Carlisle, BBC SPORT | Football | League One | Carlisle 1-3 Bristol City. Another that played in the top flight.

JamesBCFC Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 2 hours ago, GrahamC said: I actually think Marinovic gets a bad press, as it seemed frankly bizarre to me that LJ threw him in against Ipswich (on a night when it was blowing a Gale) when he had barely been in the country a week & hadn’t played a game in ages. He made an error virtually from the kick off but was bailed out by Lloyd Kelly & actually made a decent save in the second half. Lucic had a shit attitude (Tinnion said so) & so I’m not surprised his career has gone nowhere. Geifer seemed to have injury issues & was another bizarre LJ addition. Parish has had a remarkable career, been released after 1 year by virtually every club he’s been at, yet made a living as a back up keeper. Geifer had some pedigree IIRC Was a case of if he was past his injury issues we would have got a very good goalkeeper on the cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Velicka came on as sub, went up for a header in his first action on the pitch, landed and did his ACL, never to be seen in our colours again. Think Christian Ribeiro did his ACL on debut as well, although he wasn’t on loan and returned to make a few appearances for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Ian leighs got promised free pizza for life, by a restaurant in bouremouth, if he kept a clean sheet against man utd. Now thats what you call a bonus. Sadly harry redknapp bought the place, and poor ian got no pizza. What about that ben hamer, didnt he let a silly amount in, in the time we had him? Recall mike hooper laughing, when newcastle let a goal in and hed been benched. And the geordies demanded him out, was out in days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 The one game hooper did play for us. The supporters club was decorated with a unlikely scorer, from that game. It was there for many years, him wheeling away after scoring. Mr bruce haliday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
