Any favourites emerging?

I've been very impressed with the Fonz. 

Always thought he was shite - but he's technically really good - especially at this level. 

I'd be moving heaven and earth to keep hold of this lad at left back. The wing backs make or break this system and we've looked a different side since he's come into it.

Also Santos has suddenly turned into Franco Baresi somehow? 🙂

Brockbank won’t take much persuading to stay

Santos fucked up on Tuesday

They fucked up so we got away with it

Early season, we got punished

As much as we don't want players making mistakes, it happens.  Its the players that don't seem to bring anything to the table to make up for the mistakes that are the probem.  There are a few in the squad who remain a mystery as to what they bring, its not errors that set them aside, its what does IE see in them?  Santos is no longer in that category, we can see what he's all about now.

This.

He's obviously got a mistake in him, but then again he's a non-leaguer playing in Division Four, hardly Maldini.

To be fair to him over 100 league appearances for Posh and Barnet.  He got relegated yes but as Crawford, Darcy, Politic, Delaney etc found out if your team goes down that's the league you end up in till you work your way back up.  As opposed to Madine who seems to do it the other way, somehow finds himself at clubs that go up and then becomes a "Prem" player for a bit.  At his natural level now, as Santos is.

We need to realise that these wouldn’t be playing for us if they were capable of playing at a level two or just one leagues higher.

Casting my mind back to last time we were a 4th tier club, did we have any players we’d look back at and bestow ‘hero’ status upon them? Savage perhaps for the goal at Wrexham.

Fonz, Doyle, Crawford, Delaney, Darcy, Politic, Kioso and probably Santos good enough for Div 1 (let's not forget how poor the bottom half of that league is by the way).  If/when we go up, there's a decent spine to start with there if we keep hold of them.

Aye Mark Came was good at that level and getting better until he got injured. First time I've read Arsenal and Everton were interested in signing him

That's a really interesting interview from 10 years ago.  Good insight into the highs and lows of a pro footballer in the lower leagues.
