Keep clear. He’s crap

 

[blunted]

Didn’t we turn Kevin keegan down for being too small many years ago? Or was that just a playground urban myth?!

It was true. Also Chris Waddle.

On the subject of 'might have beens' .

In 1966, we heard JH was off to Bury to sign someone, and we all hoped / assumed that, it was Colin Bell (RIP recently). Instead, in search of goals Hill came back with Burnley reject and then playing for Bury, Ray Pointer. Pointer ran around like a headless chicken for the rest of the season and was then got rid of. Man City were top of the 2nd Division at the time.

And on the subject of mistakes, JH made plenty of blunders, as I'm sure Robins has (Vincenti, Kastaneer, that guy from Hull on loan two seasons ago, O'Brien...), which makes me slightly dispair when people declare their absolute 'trust' in Robins. Everybody makes mistakes - most on here think Sheaf and even Giles are mistakes. Fortunately for us, Robins mark 2 has made very few of them.

We were gazumped by Man City for Bell.
Pointer, England CF was class but past his best.
Still remember his goal when we won 1-0 at Wolves. I somehow accidently ended up in the North Bank, the end he scored.

Yes, and Steve Highway.

 

[ptr]

Was excellent in his first few games.

Shat himself at Wembley.

Nearly scored an absolute worldy for us against sunderland, think it was the game where vik scored a belter too

 

[Shannerz]

A genuinely awful defender.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Would prefer the guy Forest signed from Huddersfield and whose contract is up….Tofflo?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Never in my life seen a Centre half be caught out by a crossfield ball On as many occasions as Panzo

For his size he was shit in the air too

I think hes pants tbh

 

[Shannerz]

I think hes pants tbh

Pantzo.

 

[quinn1971]

Yes, and Steve Highway.

Also close to signing Trevor Francis before he moved to forest

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Pantzo.

The one that got away

 

[alexccfc99]

I wouldn't have him back but I don't think he was as bad as people are making out

 

[Para1140]

Fuck no

No thanks

Sillett went to Crewe to sign David Platt and came back with Paul Edwards and Peter Billing.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

It was true. Also Chris Waddle.

Did we have Ruud Van Nistleroy on trial too

 

[Sick Boy]

Did we have Ruud Van Nistleroy on trial too

Yes, apparently so.

Id rather keep lati. And that’s saying something

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Didnt we try and sign Panzo before he went to Nottingham Forrest?? Seem to recall it was another player we spent a long time chasing publicly and then once we got them, turned out not to be the best.

The play off final mistake still gives me nightmares despite it being chalked off

I remember collapsing to my seat in shock and pure anger and the relief when it was chalked off thought the luck was on our side and was our year

 

[no_loyalty]

On par with Binks(crap), we definitely need much better.

 

[fatso]

Also close to signing Trevor Francis before he moved to forest

We also went to look at David Platt when he was at Crewe, and bought Peter Billing instead!

And it was a toss up between buying Niall Quinn or Kevin Drinkell back in the day apparently.

Oh well, some you win, and some you lose

On the flip side, we went to look at Anthony Gerrard & ended up with Scott Dann & Danny Fox.

If we'd initially got him on a permanent it could have been very different I think.

There was obvious talent there but some huge deficiencies that needed coaching. I feel like we would have been the type of club to get the best from him but as a loanee it's never the same dynamic.

He was one of those that looked ok if he had Fadz telling him what to do through the game, but on his own, he was lost.

It was that Wrexham game when he was the central one of the three. I've never seen a player so confused by such rudamentary tactics.

"Good God, they're pumping it high into the box!! What wizardry is this?!?"

That should have ended all discussion on whether he should sign permanently once and for all (and in fairness, he only made the odd cameo afterwards).

 

[SBT]

I will never forgive him for the end of the playoff final. I don't care that VAR bailed him out.

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Can't believe we are signing the bloke who missed the penalty at Wembley

 

[oscillatewildly]

Yes, and Steve Highway.

Really? I know he studied at Warwick Uni late '60's but didn't know he had a trial with us.

Yep, apparently so.

But I bet most clubs have a list of players they wish they'd of taken on instead of letting go.

 

[Offhegoes]

I thought Panto was alright to be honest. Doyle kept him out of the team, and was clearly short of match practice by Wembley that season.

He could play ok but at some point in a game always seemed to make a mistake .

Oh no he wasn’t.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

His problem was he could never spot a striker that was behind him!

 

[covcity4life]

He was decent. On a free I wouldn't mind. Leave it to the management team.
