Cloughie was still to have his Brighton & Leeds spells at this point though too. Much though its nice to think we could have gone onto Forest's success the likelihood is he would have soon fallen out with Robins as you alluded to & left us before we got anywhere near that point. From what I...

Think your mixing this up with when we approached him after Cantwell left. When JH left as Manager, Clough had still to achieve any success with Derby. They had finished towards the bottom of Division 2 in 1966/67, and did the same in 1967/68. It wasn't until the following season when he took...

If only 5 allowed I would say definitely Hill, Sillett, Curtis, Hutchison. Dublin would be a good shout for the final place although I was as personally fond of Wallace, Hunt, Regis, Speedie, Gallacher & Ndlovu.

Think that might have been Leicester. His best games were away from home, Man City and Southampton early in the season and Leicester late on after Hartson had signed. We sold Keane right before the season and Bellamy seemed something of a panic signing. Selling Keane was good for his investors...

When Collins doesn't become a regular at Cardiff, we will get plenty on here encouraging a move for him however long his contract is. I'm 100% sure this won't be the last transfer window someone puts him on their wishlist :rolleyes:

Jordan Graham from Gillingham? Ticks the Jordan requirement and also born in Cov meets another favourite requirement. I didn't know anyone called Jordan when I was growing up, but you got me thinking there must be a Jordan XI out there, starting with Pickford in goal :)

Flanagan & Allen played up front for Palace back in the day.

Why is that? What's their connection?

Plenty of teams survived such penalties in the past including ourselves, never mind then having the penalty halved. They had plenty of opportunity to get out it, particularly as it was an unusual season where as few as 44 points would have seen them safe. They just weren't good enough and these...

One of the Cov connected players who never seems to get linked with us is Jordan Graham, who I think would be a lot better signing than many of those that have been like Collins. I guess as a winger he wouldn't fit into MR's gameplan, but pretty sure he will end up signing with a Championship...

He's ex Cov so guaranteed someone will soon be suggesting we sign him!

If Giles came back again, I think I would be as underwhelmed as when Richard Duffy came back for the 3rd time!

Fletcher is a strange one. Potentially top class, being both quick and strong, and is the right age for the type of player we look for. However his scoring record isn't the greatest, and remember watching him on the Sunderland Netflix documentary where he came across as not having the strongest...

Is Da Costa a Muslim? His name is surely a Christian name!

Its funny being one year on from being so desperate to get in the Championship and play bigger games that so many of us are now happy to slag it off!

But all of the 4 midfielders you previously mentioned have had their injury problems. We are likely to need him, so what's the point of loaning him out again and leaving ourselves short? The fact he can also fill in at full back or in defence makes him even more invaluable to the squad. He's had...

Don't see the point of sending Eccles out on loan again. Granted, he might not be in the starting XI from the off, but given the likelihood of injuries over the Championship season, he is likely to get game time by staying with us.

What part of my post made you think I would possibly have been interested in that?

Until the end of the League 2 season, when he was exceptional, I thought Kelly didn't provide a great deal to the team, playing too many square passes and slowing us down as an attacking threat. With the benefit of hindsight and seeing him play in subsequent seasons I now think this was largely...

Max is/ was not a legend. However, he was a good honest servant to the club though a period that the club has been on the up, and he will deserve a place at 'Legends Day', given that in reality it is 'Ex Players Day'. The number of true 'Legends' that attend can usually be counted on one hand.
