Who? Waghorn with his 1 open play goal in 38 games? Dabo had a better own-goal rate. Kevin Kyle had a better rate and was cheaper. Waghorn. Nice fella. Wherever Badlan ends up next he should suffer him.

Didn’t Reda have a set-to with Pressley which preceded the loss of the dressing room and subsequent downturn? (Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?) If so, not really a legend

That’s about it tbf.

I heard an interesting perspective on a podcast (UTC) the other day, can’t recall and it doesn’t matter who it was, anyway: The number of graduates from decent academies now means there is a huge number of technically well trained and coached and mentored players who end up having to play at a...

Whoever it was doesn’t matter. It was their figure - not one plucked from thin air is the point.

Max at 30 was a cheap squad back up who had done nothing but improve since he joined. The mindset at the time: Players who come to the pro game late, wear out late. Fadz for example. No one could predict that both Max and Waghorn would go downhill quicker than Eddie the Eagle but to me...

It was a figure from Sky Blue Believer. Ie VO who stopped posting about internal team affairs once Hyam left.

Blah blah blah. 13k per week. Big chunk of our playing budget that could have been spent on someone younger with sell on potential. It was poor judgement to sign him no matter how you look at it. It’s not a difficult concept.

Not arguing with your logic - it’s sound enough. I can however attest that at the time I stated repeatedly on here that Waghorn was a strange signing due to age and wage and didn’t fit our model. So I did say there was no point in signing Waghorn; and I was right. (Often wrong about many...

At the time of signing Waghorn has had a much better career than Gyok. Gyok of course was a “punt”. Same as Walker. Young, with potential. If anyone on here thinks Waghorn offered value for money or even potential then… Oh I give up. Pointless

Agree. Had been the key word. But we are comparing 13k per week v (guess) 3 k per week. Waghorn was a waste of money and has flopped. No ifs no buts. Flopped. Waste of money and not even a “punt”. Hillsner was a punt. Early 20’s ex Germany u20’s int - could have turned out a steal but...

Waghorn has achieved what exactly in 2 seasons?

But the difference in wage would. If they were both £3k per week I’d agree. Waghorn was apparently £13k per week. That’s my point.

Exactly this. Keeping Max rather than signing Waghorn would have meant an extra £8-9k per week to spend / invest on other areas of the squad. Signing 31 year old Waghorn, with no sell on potential, for high wages (sign on fee?) was one of the worst bits of business in the past few years...

Wilson 5 Let 4 in and flapped a couple of crosses. Some decent distribution though. Dabo 5 His cross field balls were atrocious and nearly always cut out and turned over. A lot of their good opportunities were created down his side at us expense. It seems they saw him as a weak link. Got...

Too light in midfield at the outset.

This is awful.

I’m watching from my place in in the Costa Blanca, Spain. Ifollow wouldn’t work until I switched on the VPN. Tried various countries - nothing worked. Turned back off / nothing then VPN ON, selected “Madrid, Spain”. Works. Bizarre. Anyway. Formation all wrong. Dabo and McNally and Eccles...

Davros Reminds me, the Dowie podcast on Undr the Cosh was worth a listen.
