Always felt it weird that he's considered as a left back. Totally unsuited to it. Could imagine him better playing centre mid in a possession-based side. Not sure he could do it in a league like the Championship though.

I don't doubt your recollections, but Spider was a superb and reliable left back from a defensive point of view, and his popularity was justified. I doubt if he ever scored a goal though (I can't recall one) and I imagine he had very few assists. Those stats probably weren't gathered in those days.

I seem to remember Chris Cattlin made a big impact straight away. Didn't he mark George Best out of the game on his debut? Memory might be playing tricks of course 😏

The chart reinforces my feeling that our general play has been decent nearly all season (bar a small number of poor games or horrible halves). The problems have been in both penalty areas, which obviously translates into points being lost. I actually think we've had more than our fair share of...

There's been bloody silly negativity on here all season.

We live and dine on hash browns

Good luck with that

It's just a teeny little zero Pete, not worth quibbling over.

... and fernandopartridge sticks an extra zero on all the figures 😂

Seems we saw different things then.

Not right wing, but right side of a flexible front three isn't so crazy IMO. Seem to remember him marauding down that side a few times last season, when fed with the right type of balls. Wide role probably suits Haji better though.

I didn't claim those things did I? He didn't immediately deliver end results, but his ability was there to see for anyone who bothered to look properly. I was baffled by the negative comments and said so more than once at the time. He'd play some good interchanges with other players, he showed...

Nope

He was doing plenty of good things if people would only pay attention, and was extremely unlucky not to have a few goals and assists to his name. But people preferred to ignore all of that and slag him off, with stupid comments saying he was non-league standard etc., making absolutely no...

If Frank was looking for a managerial challenge, he'll be relishing this.

Should have been more careful with that first sentence Harry. Some people are on a hair trigger.

I reckon he could be effective on the right too. His uncertain early performances were as much to do with adjusting to the league and the team as playing out of position IMO. People were so unfair to him, concentrating on a few little mistakes and seemingly blind to what he can do. It's...

Hilarious the way this forum has flipped regarding EMC.

It was clearly sarcasm

I'm not going to pretend that Asante is the new Mbappe, but those saying the chance against Norwich was a sitter are (to use a phrase very popular on here lately) making things up to suit an agenda. Yes it was a poor effort but in truth it was an extremely hard chance to convert. The ball's...
