Bobby was in the Championship best team of the season so far a couple of weeks ago. This was before recent lapses.
Woolfie has struggled to replace the best player in the Championship in his preferred position.
In a weakened team, with three defensive changes at Wrexham, he had a mare.
The whole team were poor against Ipswich at home. Clarke shoots, deflects off him into the net.
Against Stoke, heads the ball out, Stoke player scores a worldie. Been unlucky really, as has been fine most of the time with limited appearances.
Really can't judge yet.
We needed back up for MVE. KKH has had bad luck with injuries. A player I am convinced will come good, if he can avoid getting injured.

Woof has played well, when selected. The Wrexham line up was like a 2nd team. Not sure why people use this as an example.

Because whilst there were mitigating factors for the result, his personal performance was dire.

I agree unfair to judge over a difficult full debut, though.

Viorel Moldovan was a spectacular waste of money at £3.25 million in 1997, which was still a hefty wad of cash then.

Disrupted the whole momentum of our forward line, and looked like a Sunday league player.

But then, naturally, he goes to the World Cup and Galatasaray and smashed goals in for fun.

Apparently we made a profit on Moldovan, Bellamy cost us £250k net, and Hughes made us a profit.

Think you’ve got to take that into account.

Hughes should be air-brushed from Coventry City history for what he did

Not only a poor signing financially, an absolute c-unit of a man too

I am sure we bought Hughes for £5m and sold for about £2.5m

we also paid £7,000 a week of his wages when he went back to them
