Certainly not grateful for what they have achieved or done for the club, but just saying they aren’t the ones that will now drive this club forward.

Agree, but the coaching staff have never really been able to develop a player at any level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 13 hours ago, Horwich said: Forest was last 16 and I went to the game. 2009 it was. The team from that era was ok, but none of them “made” it at Bolton. Megson pissed them all off. Mooy wasn’t identified as a talent and fucked off. Danny Ward was one of the better players, but never really did much at any club. One of the best youth teams we have had and very few of them “made it” Mooy was the exception A bit harsh on Ward that. Considering he hardly got a mention while he was here, he's had a great, consistent championship level career. Normally top half at Cardiff and Huddersfield (also Rotherham). Scores half a dozen a season consistently too. Being relatively local I always wonder if he might end up back here one day, good player.

He wasn’t and never will have the ability to perform at that level. Just another player who wasnt good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another player who wasnt good enough. Lots of our legends weren't upto Prem standard. McGinlay, Walker, Kelly, Lee, Branagan, ALF etc. Ward could have been a top player for us if we'd kept hold of him another year or 2, he wasnt a Prem player as you say but more than good enough once we went down soon after (but at least we signed Rob Hall and Steve de Ridder instead).

I thought he did ok with the chances/ games he got. Him wanting away to Australia kind of spoiled his own chances with the team. Were we're too nice to him, ripping up his contract to allow the move? He was certainly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidLeesMullet Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) David Lee was a great servant to the club, I for one will always fondly remember his performance against Liverpool in the F. A. Cup where was vertually unplayable that night. Edited January 31, 2021 by DavidLeesMullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
