Guest DannyBonserSWFC Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 For me - Chris Maguire... I was never a fan of him early on, and when he was shipped out to Coventry last season I was hopeful that we'd seen the end of him. However, he finished the season magnificently, and I for one am glad that I was wrong THIS ONCE Enjoy your holiday, get off the internet and booze ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Owl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Reda. Thought he looked well out of his depth when we first signed him. On the other side of the coin - Take a bow Jay Bothroyd. Can't believe i was actually happy when we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Used to watch the reserves quite a bit. I tipped Jon Shaw to be our best striker for years and said Mark Beevers was the next Bobby Moore. I also thought Proudlock (can't even remember if that was his name) would be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Reda. I thought he would be here for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkfieldowl14 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Darren Potter.i'd thought he was decent to start off with but just went down hill soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Can't believe nobody's mentioned Leon Knight. I was reyt happy when we signed him cos he scored for fun on an old version of Championship Manager, but he was absolute bobbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I thought Giles de Bilde would fire us into europe Used to think Regi Blinker would be as good as Edgar Davids And Pablo bonvin would be our maradona.. Di piedi would be our new carbone.. Owen morrsion our Ryan giggs From slightly before this era you could add Patrick Blondeiu.Big things were expected from a regular French international, maybe the next Roland Nilsson, he was hopeless and looked frightened to put a tackle in.

The Dukeries Owl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The first few games I saw Orlando Trustful play for us I thought he would be a huge success. Somehow the paragon of wisdom that was Mr Pleat didn't see it the same way and hardly ever played him, he loved his players like Michael Collins too much. Mind you he wasn't the only one, he wouldn't play Dejan Stefanovic either, so his work permit was rescinded because he hadn't played enough games and then went on to have a fantastic career at other clubs.

Guest s11 owl Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) far too much hope has been placed upon too many players with too little ability - winston churchcill still rings true today Edited July 15, 2014 by s11 owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Orland Trustfull and Regi Blinker smoked Benson & Hedges. I looked inside their Jeep after a match once. They saw me and signed an autograph then drove off. I caught the bus home and thought about footballers smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretin Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wim Jonk, Patrick Blondeau, Andy Hinchcliffe, Franny Jeffers, Bothroyd; Thought they'd be good, they weren't. Kiaren Lee; Thought he'd be gash tbh Yep had real doubts about Keiran Lee and even in midfield it took a few games to establish himself but when he did, excellent player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
