Lord Snooty Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Be very interesting to see where many of our go in the summer when the contracts have run down. I fear the clubs in the divisions that are interested in them won't be able to come anywhere near what we have thrown their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Our treatment of Dawson is a disgrace. Give over. Nobody is booing Dawson or giving him a hard time. The target of the booing is at Jos and the demand that we have our best keeper in net. I know it's probably hard for Dawson but he simply has to realise that it's not directed at him.

Philb125 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Spurr has had decent career, he was one of our own boo’d away that if nurtured would have done a job. Beavers in same light towards the end but to lesser degree. In more recent times, Antonio got abuse both from fans and manager, didn’t he get dropped for being considered not intelligent on the pitch? Don’t think many fans thought Benek Afobe would amount to much, not same thing I guess as he was a loaner that we could have had for next to nothing. Other than that cant really think of many that needed more support / love to keep them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maghoma certainly played at higher level than most of his critics had predicted; that ranged from league one to Sunday league if I’m not mistaken. Similar to the thoughts about many many of the current crop that no doubt easily walk into another championship squad and do well in other circumstances.

Getting another club is some way off from excelling once they left us though. There hasn't been anyone who has been anyone who has played poorly constantly for us and gone on to excel - yet that character from twitter seems to have lost count!

I think playing above expected level is excelling. But I certainly take your point they are few and far between. I do though think we should show more support support to our own; Dawson, Wildsmith, Palmer etc etc etc. Players that come through youth set up often on lesser contracts and all too often get singled out for the abuse when things go wrong. They need more support not less and despite the WAWAW rhetoric young owls supporting players are all to easily cast aside after a bad game or mistake.

matthefish2002 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Some of the names on this thread are going back over 20 years. Cant believe they is one club who doesn't have a few players in that time that have failures but been a success afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 To be honest it's quite often the case that players arrive here with a good reputation and completely fail to live up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all our players get supported well, i honestly do. (at the match at least). When you think of some of the dross we've seen, you only have to be able to run and pass in a straight line to get applauded. The westwood/hutchinson chants, while ball achingly cringeworthy, were aimed at the powers that be (i presume) rather than Dawson or whoever.

Sonny Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I think there will be loads but so far most people seemed to have really focussed on providing really bad examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
