What were peoples views on Jay Bothroyd?
Click to expand...

In hindsight he was probably alright, but given the standard of strikers that had gone before him I wasn't keen at the time to be honest.

Think he was also very immature when he was with us. Looked fantastic in some games, completely disinterested in others

My first memory is Derby at Highfield road, but very little of those seasons. My first proper seasons were the years we had John and Adebola upfront around 2007. I’m from Wolverhampton but parents from Coventry so it was either rebel against my Dad or be the odd one out at school. Boy do I wish sometimes I stuck with my school friends now!

You'll probably change that in a couple of years as you approach 40.

He was highly rated as a youngster coming through at Villa, turned out to be utter shite

He had a good spell at Cardiff during that time I seem to recall. Michael Ricketts was also an England international!

Ponticelli scored one in every 109 minutes in league 2

But he only scored three goals. And bought little else to the team. And seems to have found his level at Wrexham n the National League. Except he's played 17 games for Wrexham this season and still hasn't scored.

People on here use to rave about Ponticelli on the strengtth of his youth career. Biamou is playing far better than some on here are giving him credit for, and playing three tiers higher than he was playing 4 seasons ago when we signed him.

Indeed, although well after he left us (was it during his Cardiff days?). As you say, was very young when he played for us. Let's put it this way, we've not had that many better than him since..

That was as bad as it got. Tudgay obviously a decent player in his time but time had taken its toll by the time he played for us.

Pressley recruited some terrible forwards... I don't know if they were his signings or the club signed them but whoever it was didn't have an eye for a player at all

He scored against us in the championship which is I think why we then signed him

I’m pretty sure he scored an absolute hatful at Barwell. It is the equivalent of park football, but he did still score a load.
