I have a much better feeling about next season but let’s see. So many similarities to the Parky promotion season - squad of ageing and/or untalented players, never seemed to boss more than the occasional game, some dire home defeats and lack of atmosphere considering they were promotion chasing seasons, spells without scoring and then somehow stumbling over the line when other top teams seemed to bottle it. And playing against 10 men for a chunk of a pivotal game always helps! (Wrexham in 87, Vale in the Wheater game). And playing a team with nothing to play for on the last day was nice too, compared to the trauma of the play offs we would have faced if we'd failed. Hoping for a nice easy journey to top 3 this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crombie a real class act, on and off the pitch. Our Gudni Bergsson of the time, not in keeping which the standard of defender we had over that period. Just read his Wiki page and I knew he had roles at the club after retiring but didn't realise he'd come back 3 times, only finally leaving in 2014. Youth coach, 1st team coach, chief scout, academy recruitment and then head of academy recruitment. Bit of a legend really, maybe not recognised that way as much as he should be considering he's from Lincoln, not a local lad like Darby and Phillips.

Without checking stats, not only top scorer in the league or thereabouts (with a bottom half team) but most assists. He'd be the one player we've signed who's montage was a reflection of what he can do at that level. I'd have him any time in next couple of years without a doubt.

Captain of town team and a seriously good player. Huge Bolton fan and was offered the chance to go down to man utd and Liverpool as a kid but rejected to stay at Bolton dean crombie bullied him and made his life a misery so much so that he left the club after 3 months and spent the rest of his working life working in call centers where he still is today and apart from the odd charity game with the lads has never played football again it affected him that badly real class act was crombie off the pitch 👍🏼👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Wilhemson and Braaten one's were the first montages I'd ever seen of a player we were signing, the excitement at seeing them play was palpable! What a let down. Although they signed at exactly the wrong time in our Prem history, they may have done a job in the championship, Wilhemson must have had something to get so many caps for Sweden who are no mugs (despite having Elmander).

Johnnyrotten Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 That's not good to read, difficult to comment on it without speaking out of turn so I wont. Our perception of all BWFC (or other sports) "heroes" is only ever what we see publicly, nobody really knows what they are like off the pitch or in day to day life.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 22, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2020 Shuts Salford fans up moaning about how much we are throwing about. I can imagine he'll be on similar to Sarcevic & Comley combined. I like Lowe but not arsed at him going.

Plays with his head up, and seems to know where team mates are. Politic may be a bit stronger and has an eye for goal, but I like the maturity that Darcy shows even as a kid. With time I reckon both come be really good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Steejay Posted July 22, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2020 Loyalty & commitment were never in doubt with Lowe, so lots of praise for him. However, he's never been a game changer, rarely passes forward and doesn't move the ball quick enough. I'm sure that Evatt would have kept him if he fitted into his style of play but the fact that he didn't speaks volumes. Good luck and thanks for everything, Jason.

Never a game changer is probably about right - and it this level I'd be wanting a bit more from someone who's on top whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Lowe gave everything on the pitch and was a great servant/ambassador off it so no complaints and good luck to him. He's the sort of player I wouldnt be against having in the squad in the championship as a defensive midfielder in a backs to the wall relegation scrap. But if you're hoping to dominate games at the top end of any division, you have to question what he brings other than leadership and grit. It still grates though that a genuine League One player ends up at Salford who have nothing going for them other than money and being local.
