SallyCinnamon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 10 hours ago, SiJ said: Yep. Could guarantee you would disagree with that. I thought he was a better player than people gave him credit for. Our best run of the season in 2017 occurred with him in the team at the time. He was one of the few players who could play a defensive midfield role in a two. He was also one of the few players in the team with promotions to his name (I believe 3 in total). Compared to Abdi, he was the signing of the century. Still a terrible signing. 2.5m wasn’t it? His performance against the Blades at Hillsborough was very poor.

Kualakidd Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Larry may. Centre half 86-88 came from Barnsley. Was initially a boo boy player then managed to turn the fans around due to his 100% commitment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Nickelarse Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Atdhe Nuhiu. Great attitude, top bloke and a better player than some gave him credit for. Irrespective of how some perceived his ability he absolutely didn't deserve the vitriol, yes vitriol in many cases, that some aimed at him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 13 hours ago, torryowl said: poor old chris morris didnt get a lot ........think he's copped the most abuse of any wednesday player ive watched He came into team to replace Mel Sterland who was a legend, one of best right backs in country and because Morris wasn't as good some fans turned on him, he was a good footballer and went on to have a good career at Celtic. There's other examples of this, Ian Nolan was brought in when Roland Nilsson left, he was never going to be as good as Roland but was a steady full back and could play either side of defence. Ian Taylor was another, signed to replace Carlton Palmer but fans soon disliked him after only a few appearances, went to Villa and was a very good midfielder who scored goals for them.

Owls Loyal Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yes, Ian Taylor is a good shout. Imagine trying to fill the boots of Carlton Palmer. It was an impossibkle task and we probably should have been more patient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Tommy Spurr - used to get pelters from fans but should be dining out on that goal at the Lane. Guy Whittingham - scored a winner at Anfield and was a far better player than given credit for. Wim Jonk - was streets ahead of the squad at the time, had great vision, and often made passes that if the movement of other players was even half decent would have been dangerous. Proper footballer. He was disliked because he didn’t run around like a headless chicken closing opponents down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Pembridge and Magilton who also were highly unloved and underrated. Pembridge was just sheeeeiite mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Frankie simek Probably best fullback we've had this century Most people thought Lewis Buxton was better but Simek was quality If it wasn't for Injuries he'd have played in the Premier league 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
