Burnsie Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So, there are threads on here quite often re players that should be playing/haven’t had their chance. I’m thinking about Corry, young Gary etc. Now, they'll be reasons for this (performance in training) but that's sometimes not good enough for the fans. So, who can you think of from the past who hasn’t been/wasn’t given a fair chance (i.e. fans wanted them to play for no real reason), off top of my head, Paul Heffernan??

FlyingOwl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Can't even read Paul Heffernan's name without my inner 15 year old self raging that he didn't play enough My 19 year old self is laughing at my past foolishness though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaminowl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Iain Hesford. Quite excited (not in that way) when we signed him and then we signed Hodge a few days/weeks later, so he ended up as understudy and never played a single game for us.

clud17 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 By young Gary do you mean Gary Madine? if so i think 101 appearances is a fair crack of the wick isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 By young Gary do you mean Gary Madine? if so i think 101 appearances is a fair crack of the wick isn't it?He's not had a fair crack at this level. When I say fair crack I mean the sort of opportunities that Nuhiu has had. roger, even Bothroyd played on a more consistent basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think patience runs out after a while. As for Bothroyd i suspect the Jones bromance and loan agreements had a play in his chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
