From Morgan Williams to Jamie Allen, and the other 114 players in between, you have all played your part in bringing our club back from oblivion to being within a whisker of returning to the big time. And for that I salute you all. Even Brad Collins. 🫡

Couple of names in there I barely remember and some I'd rather forget!

Its been horrific at times and there were points where I genuinely wondered if we'd have a club at all for much longer but every single person there has played there part.

The last few years have been so bad even now I'm not convinced we won't somehow mess it up!

Some stand out surprises for me are Andreu 15, Pask 19 and Bassette 25. All are way more than I thought any of them had. Andreu was going to be our marquee signing, but in my head I had him injured after about 5 games. Pask I barely remember not being injured I can only assume lots of those were sub and Bassette featured in a lot more games despite him behaving like a petulant child to have achieved that number.

I was convinced we'd signed our next midfield mainstay in Abu Ogogo, in the end he only played slightly more than Tayo Adaramola did.
Yeah the hype for the Shrewsbury signings had me convinced we'd signed some gems! Brown was just as bad.

I guess it's the reverse Vik/Grimes thing where you can't trust the option of the players ex club either way

Some real legends on that list, fond memories of most of them. O'Hare 3rd most appearances, feel he deserves a little more respect from our support a crucial player in getting us up and keeping us up. He made a bad move I'd imagine he regrets leaving, ultimately his loss our gain getting Rudoni and BTA in

Can't believe Tony Andreu managed 15 appearances for us, I thought he'd gotten injured straight after signing.

And Ben Stevenson really only played for us five times??

Shout out David Stockdale, two appearances in goal in an emergency loan spell in 18/19, didn't concede a goal whilst we won 1-0 v Rochdale and 3-0 v Walsall. Potentially the only keeper to play for us competitively and not concede?

Are we missing any names?...Was looking for the name of the big hulking defender Reda Johnson, but can't seem to find it.

I can’t believe Maguire Drew only played 3 times for us! He had a bloody song ffs and still some players like Kitching don’t.

I know it makes no sense, but always feel the winning team from the checkatrade win should be included. That day demonstrated the potential of the club that we had all forgotten about in the fall through the leagues.

Also Marc McNulty is such a strange figure at the club. Was sensational in that league 2 season, yet almost never gets mentioned.

He does, it just hasn't taken off yet,

You will always find Liam Kitching at parties 🥳

I remember the general consensus was 'is this what a goalkeeper actually does?'

IF we don't need anything from the last couple of games, would be nice if Jamie Allen and Bidders got a few minutes.
Agree and for the other lads who have sat patiently on the bench all season like KKH. I'd add Wilson too, but only if Rushworth can't be caught for the Golden Glove as he deserves to win that for his efforts (my player of the season).

Always a bit weird looking at modern appearance numbers Vs legends.
Dion 145 appearances, less than Josh Eccles.
Noel Whelan 133, Ellis Simms has 125!
Darren Huckerby 94, Liam Kitching has 87

We're just gonna miss out on it, but how beautiful would it have been to have Josh Eccles top of that list come the first game in the prem :love:
He'll make his 200th appearance for the club in the PL which will be fantastic (currently 191 in all comps).

I'd love for us to get this season done early so we can give Allen some minutes to bring up his 200th before he inevitably moves on in the summer (currently on 198).

Don't think there is much to say, he was great but I think we did very well to get £1.2m for him.
