After some investigating, I think it had to be Mellor. Hunt didn't come to us until March 1968, so it has to be either 69, 70, or 71, though Waiters was at Burnley at the same time as Mellor.
Before Mellor's time?
I had it in mind it was around 70-72 and Mellor was the goalkeeper then.
Mellor was 69-72 at Burnley and I do remember having to go up with my dad and not being allowed on my own in the late 60's and I definitely went on my own to the Burnley match when Ernie Hunt scored...
He should recognise our own players though and he should know the name of the opposition!
Basics and doesn't matter what league we are in.
I wouldn't know if he is getting opposition players' names wrong, I'm talking about our own.
Chelsea will obviously be expecting him to play as much as possible.
If we say sent Ponticelli on loan to a National League team, we would be really disappointed if he then didn't get game time and it would make the loan pointless.
Well yep, you would have to think Chaplin would be a direct replacement for McNumpty and therefore we would play the way we did last season.
On Saturday it was just Biamou on his own for the most part, with the other attacking players then therefore having to support and get forwards.
The amount of mistakes is embarrassing.
I think Clive Eakin does well otherwise, but half the time he can't even get the name of the opposition right and he is always getting players mixed up too.
Yes, for sure it helps if players are getting forwards to support, but if you have a forward who can hold the ball up to allow others to then support that is a great boon to have.
I do think it is possible for Biamou to do okay at this level, but I can't see him as being our first choice go to guy.
I think he may well be better coming on as an impact sub. Unless we change the system.
He did some neat little flicks yesterday, but he isn't great at holding the ball up to...
