Am I being daft…who is L Hall? Do they mean Marcus?
Anyone else think that Gavin Strachan was (at best) marginally mediocre?
His best performance for us was away at the cup at Villa, but in truth, Boateng carried him a bit.
Yeah, I wondered about Paul but I don’t know if he hadn’t already gone.It must be - or Paul even (probably not)

Id seen Paul a few times when he was playing for Pompey and was really happy we’d signed him. He wasn’t all that for us.
Yes Paul Hall , started his football life down here at Torquay. Cov signed him from PortsmouthIt must be - or Paul even (probably not)
On reflection, that team should have gone straight back up.
Thompson’s sale derailed us a bit, but all I recall of that season was frightening inconsistency.

I’d completely forgotten he’d played for Jamaica. We made a couple of punt signings around the same time if I remember rightly…Kyle Lightbourne, and some Welsh bloke who played upfront whose name I can’t now remember.Yeah I was quite pleased with his signing too - he'd played ok at the World Cup for the Reggae Boys too
Simon Howarth.I’d completely forgotten he’d played for Jamaica. We made a couple of punt signings around the same time if I remember rightly…Kyle Lightbourne, and some Welsh bloke who played upfront whose name I can’t now remember.
Wallemme was late 90s and only played a couple? He fucked off because they couldnt find a french language school in Coventry iirc....who'd have thought that ehI remember Jean Guy Wallemme having a mare in the following match at home to Wolves too & barely playing afterwards
That’s it! I thought it was Simon something…went on to have a decent enough career I think.Simon Howarth.
Him and Lightbourne played up front together in an away game at Barnsley, and were utterly inept.
Some of our recruitment in the 90s was baffling.
Didn’t it fall apart when we got rid of Richard Money as Nilsson’s assistant? Then brought in Jim Smith?From what I recall, we started badly, got it going, then fell apart.
Yeah, I think he was a decent lower league player, but not good enough for the top flight. Seem to remember we paid a bit for him, though.That’s it! I thought it was Simon something…went on to have a decent enough career I think.
Possibly before the big influx of players from abroad so shopping in a smaller pool?
£750k? Or thereabouts I think?Yeah, I think he was a decent lower league player, but not good enough for the top flight. Seem to remember we paid a bit for him, though.
Sounds about right, yes. A bit for us at the time!£750k? Or thereabouts I think?
4th with 10 games to go!On reflection, that team should have gone straight back up.

Thats better....
and Paul Trollope!Didn’t KON go off injured after about 30mins? One of the (many) problems that season IIRC, is that Hughes stopped scoring after the first few games. Then there was the awful end to the season. Jim Smith. Horacio Carbonari etc
To be fair, he was doing well to still be playing in his late 90s. Most have given up on walking football way before that.Wallemme was late 90s and only played a couple? He fucked off because they couldnt find a french language school in Coventry iirc....who'd have thought that eh
Wasn’t he supposed to be home sick and we sold him because he wanted to go home after a couple of games ?I remember Jean Guy Wallemme having a mare in the following match at home to Wolves too & barely playing afterwards
Yeah. He was long gone by '01 - Shearer tore him a new one & can't remember much from him after thatWasn’t he supposed to be home sick and we sold him because he wanted to go home after a couple of games ?
I saw Nilsson at an ex players night and blamed injuries If i recall correctly. Said the chairman promised him at least 1 new player in the last half of the season and it was going to be Ginola. Then I think a combination of him not wanting to drop to the champ and the chairman not being proactive we kept losing and the transfer dragged on for weeks and never happened.Didn’t it fall apart when we got rid of Richard Money as Nilsson’s assistant?
