That penalty in the 12-11 win at the Ricoh was ace

Collins is a good shout in that he’s likely nowhere near as bad as his recent form suggests he is.

Oh yes he is. And what’s more he is gutless, as we will find out the first time he is challenged.

John Aloisi was criminally underused by Strachan.

Maybe not underrated but I thought at the time Aaron Phillips would have a ‘better’ career than he has.
Seemingly turning out for St Ives at the moment. Still, it’s a nice place.

Cornwall or Cambs?

Was based in Cambridgeshire for a couple of years mid ‘80’s but never visited St Ives.
I’ve heard it’s very nice.
‘Quaint’, I think is how most people would probably describe it.

So Aaron Phillips has done alright either way then. Well done Aaron! If you’re reading this…which he undoubtedly isn’t

Jacob Murphy got dogs abuse from some of our fans but I always thought he could change the game for us. Has had a great career since.

Current squad I'm saying Simms. I think the work he does for the team goes under the radar with a lot of fans and the calls of him being lazy are uncalled for. He's let down by our system imo.

Peter Atherton. Partly because he left on a free the same summer that Babb broke the transfer record for a defender.

Lee Hurst and Andy Blair were 2 homegrown players that were underrated by most of our support.

Trond Egil Soltvedt
John Aloisi
Haji Wright until Sunderland when the casuals got on board
Dasilva
Possibly Torp too

We tend to overrate grafters who are not very good

And underrate technical players

Fleck often got a lot of abuse (although that season one guy behind me shouted abuse at him every game, so maybe it just seemed that way, once he wasn't on the pitch and he shouted at him )

Jim O'Brien, once he left we seemed to fall off a cliff that season.

Eccles from the current squad for me, some people really hate him, he has games where he looks poor, but that isn't actually that often


Edit, Jamie Allen specifically by me, if he left last summer I wouldn't have cared one bit, but he has really shown how good he can be this season at times
