Mantra Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just went on the Official Youtube channel and sorted it by "Most Popular" Top video was a POV of goalkeeper training using a GoPro camera. Second one however was this November 2013. Our second season in the Championship. Incredible how shit our team got in such a short space of time. Maybe I'm being harsh but very few of those players were anywhere near Premier League level. Line up was: Lonergan McNaughton Baptiste Spearing Mills Ream Lee Kamara Beckford Ngog Danns Only Lee, Ream were at a good level considering we'd just spent 11 years in the top flight. Still on parachute payments. How many of those players were on extortionate wages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Aye. It seems every relegated side these days has a couple of marquee type players that premier league sides will pay a fortune to get hold of. We went down with very few assets we could properly cash in on and it was more a scramble to get their wages off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again if he'd stayed fit the chances of a relegation would have reduced. There was as much bad luck as bad judgement in the actual relegation. In the Championship years thereafter bad judgement became the dominant influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngog wasn't a wonder kid we could sell on for a profit after all and then we compounded things by shelling out big wages for far inferior replacements e.g Andrews!

BWFC_LOVE Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I still can’t believe we took relegation to the last day in that season, we were absolutely dreadful and knackered after 60 minutes every game. No doubt through a lack of training. That being the case, with a fit Holden all season we’d have stayed up for sure IMO. He ran the show the previous season and papered over the cracks. Without him (and Muamba of course Coyle you utter cunt) mopping up and generally being everywhere, we got completely overran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The caption has it mixed up according to Simon Marland. The last home game of the season that year was a 2-0 win over Brentford (Nicholson & Byrom) The penultimate home game (the one where we secured promotion?) was a 3-0 win over York (Nicholson & Lee (2)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Steejay Posted October 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2020 When I think of Charlie Wright, I always remember a great photo of him with a big cigar in his mouth and him giving the reverse 'v' peace sign. I tried to google it but no luck. However, I did find this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
