Guest pwilkysowls Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 He has pace, it just takes him 40 yards before he reaches it, coincidentally, that's the amount of space he used to leave behind him ensuring strikers with actual pace had a nice pocket to aim for. push up too deep frig are we coming or goingdefenders are advised where to position by the coach yes!

Mike Oxlong Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 In all seriousness tho. We simply dont need another left footed CB, so I doubt this is true. The Sheffield Star is a joke at reporting stuff like this. Probably written by Varadi himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Rob Jones is better than wood. Not much but he is better Edited July 20, 2012 by Big Guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handball_!! Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Rob Jones is better than wood. Not much but he is better And he wasn't getting in a pretty crappy Scod canyonhorpe team when we signed him. He is another one who I suspect will not be good enough for the Championship. We'll see tho. ** WTF - the language filter thingy won't let me put Scun_thorpe. It thinks I'm trying to write c_unt. Edited July 20, 2012 by Handball_!!

Bluesteel Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Very good defender. Couldn't give a poo what the haters on here think. He's alright, has all the physical attributes but lacks positional sense at times. As we have to pay a fee for him I wonder if we could do better. Plus, some times things are best left in the past.

Guest gcwexford Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Lazy jounalism and a load of rubbish I reckon. Just made up as nothing else to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So he just left a shiit team for one that was better at the time? The only other mention so far is that he was captain at the time, but I'm not sure if this should mean he has to stay with us for eternity. *Not that I want to sign him. Just can't remember why he is despised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't remember why he is despised. I think the club released a statement at the time saying he messed them around over a new deal. I'm sure Richard Wood would have his own side to the story, but the statement turned much of the fan base against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 He was decent for us, and when he left we started shipping goals. In hidsight, id have rather kept him and not got Purse, but im sure in hindsight he wishes he hadnt signed for Coventry. He wasnt treated fairly, but theres two sides to every story and im sure that the club has their own version. Id be surprised if this was true.

KennyPowers55 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I liked him and still do. If we really have to have another centre half then I would choose him. Mainly because of his pace. But you are right that we don't need another one as we already have a stack of em. I always liked him, but I was told by a Coventry fan last year that he's lost his pace.

ReadingOwl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 *Not that I want to sign him. Just can't remember why he is despised. I don't despise him. I just think he is rubbish. I think H Maguire is rubbish too - of a similar ilk IMO. Cant understand where he gets the accolades from either. All about personal opinions.

edinburghowl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I hope there is no foundation to this. Wood is nowhere near the level we should be aspiring to be at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Didn't like the way his agent dealt with things, but at the same time i don't think SWFC covered themselves in glory at the time. I can forgive and forget.....would be a good signing. He would have a lot to prove..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant understand where he gets the accolades from either. All about personal opinions. This. Take away all the contract crap - Wood was a distinctly average footballer. He wasn't bad, yet he wasn't that good as some people like Beholder (surprise surprise) reckon. We need to move on as a club, not looking back to average centre halves. If he hadn't played for us in the past, no one would want him at all - pick some other random Coventry City defender who has done feck all for three years and just been part of a side that got relegated, would you want them? Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handed in a Transfer request as club captain. Wasn't that good either and we kept conceding numerous goals at the back post where he was loosing his marker IIRC.
