Dont know if this has been discussed. Interesting idea. Fair play to the club/hotel for trying something different. Unless it’s a different “live” stream they will show, and not the Ifollow, it will be a bit strange the real game going on behind the curtains and waiting 30 secs on Ifollow to see any goals that are scored.

 

 

 

At least Nakata made us a few bob in gate receipts.

Used to work with a Japanese lady. Lovely lass, but a misguided red. When Nakata joined us, she was almost having an orgasm. Couldn't get her to come down to the reebok though.

Cox seems to split opinion massively with our fanbase. Was my favourite player after Tommo and Blakey left, and seem to remember him being really good. I was however 10 years old when he left.

I’ve read some saying he’s up there with our best right backs in recent times, yet I’m sure I’ve seen him take a few slaggings online so perhaps he wasn’t great. 

Elliott I think was steady, though injury prone and overall didn’t live up to the hype. I don’t recall being too disappointed when he went back to Newcastle. I was however surprised they wanted him. 

I agree with your take on those 2.  I really rated Cox, great competitor and attitude and good attacking full back.  Elliott won me over a bit because he was very combative, but when we signed him I thought he was going to be ace, he was our record signing at £2.5mil when we moved to the Reebok and I was expecting him to be a marauding, overlapping fullback.  But he was just a fairly solid, tough defender that lacked pace and guile.  Couldn't lace the boots of Gardner.

Elliott & cox big money at the time for us 

charlton cost naff all kept fit and put a good shift in, in terms of value he’s one of best the clubs made 

Agreed, absolute class servant to BWFC.  Another of the understated/cheap players I loved watched was the always immaculate Anthony Barness.  Never seemed to put a foot wrong, very underrated.

Barness yep another fine example costing nowt

Just caught up, you and 1 or 2 others beat me to it.

Barness put in one of the finest through balls I've seen in the play off win over West Brom- Gardner ran on to it and lashed in the third. Iirc.

Mike Whitlow, who spent almost his entire career as a LB was a collosus for a period at Centre Back.

Under-rated IMO

 

Whitlow seemed to have almost perfected the ruse of tripping up just behind the opposing winger, catching him on the leg and bringing both down in a heap.

I don't know if it's been mentioned above, but I thought Ronan Darcy had a good game when he came on. Didn't go rushing up to shoot or try to make a name for himself. The couple of runs up to the corner flag were very effective in holding the play up. He took a booking for the team too.

In the short time Vincent Candela was at the club he looked a tidy left back.

Chucked the ball away when the keeper was after it. Very devilish

Unless Barry "shithouse" Knight was reffin.

He was rated by those that know football. A classy player imo. I could have dreamt it, but didn’t  he do a career ending backpass somewhere? Harsh if so.

Crawfords Twitter - good result, need to practice shooting’ 

Good summary. 
 

Fair to Billy stopping a penalty. His air kick and punching still an issue. 
 

Onwards and upwards. 

Need to practice looking around and passing.

Funny how we can see incidents differently.  I thought his attempts to maintain possession in the corners were useless!  For all his qualities, shielding the ball isnt one of them, and on both occasions he just coughed up possession as quick as if he'd just booted the ball into row Z.  If he'd been playing his normal game he would have retained possession and probably wasted more time by passing to a team mate.  On the first break there was a great chance to get Delfouneso in.  I'd rather we'd seen what he can do with the ball on his rare appearance.

I think on Darcy's first run to the corner, he looked up an saw Crawford completely free in the centre and decided it'd be more effective going towards the flag than letting Crawford give them another goal kick.
