St Chalet Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Another summer break thread. We have seen some real guff served up. Only stipulation is they must have played a 1st team game. Bart James Lancashire Bennett Molyneux Wright Hammill Euell Sarimento Peckart Patterson Manager: Dodd & Gorman
S-Clarke Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Bit harsh on Sarimento as he barley played for us, so you can't really make a judgement. To be fair, in the one cup game I watched him in he looked quite handy with the ball....but that's all we saw. I'd have Phil Ifil in at RB in place of James, but the CB's are fair. Can't really argue with LB either.. So... Kevin Miller Phil Ifil Lancashire (could have easily been Liptak...) Bennett Molyneux Thomson Euell Ryan Smith Jordan Robertson Peckart Patterson Manager - The dutch duo.
Colinjb Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 (edited) -------------- Robertson ----------- Baseya --------------- Hammill ------- Idiakez ------------ Sarmiento ------- Belmadi O'Halloran ----- Powell ------------ Lancashire ------- Wright ------------------------- Bart ----------------------------- Sarmiento for the shocker away to Notts County Belmadi for flattering to deceive after the wonder goal v Crewe (I can understand if that should make him exempt though) He never released the f**king ball when he needed to! May be harsh on Cedric Baseya but to be fair he has vanished without trace. And Robertson, well, one swallow doesn't make a summer. Edited 11 May, 2012 by Colinjb
S-Clarke Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Christ, forgot about O'Halloran. Whatever anyone says, he was signed as a promotional move for the up-coming U21 friendly we were hosting. It was no surprise to see his face used in the posters. Harsh on Belmadi Colin..? He was outstanding for us when he played, but that was the problem - we didn't see enough of him. But when he did play he was often a class above.

But when he did play he was often a class above. I stand by my choice. As for Alan Bennett, after the Palace game, ok, but away to Cov that season he was phenominal!
S-Clarke Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 What about that lad we loaned from Sheff Utd, who later got banged up for death by dangerous driving (or similar).....Jordan Robertson? Yep, got him in my team. We played him on the left in a couple of the games so i've stuck him there. Although my team doesn't really have much of a formation tbf.
Colinjb Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Although my team doesn't really have much of a formation tbf. Ah, George Burley's 'Morning After the Night Before' tactic.
S-Clarke Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Ah, George Burley's 'Morning After the Night Before' tactic. . There you go, i've got our worst tactic from the wilderness years in there too. Might need to find 6 more central midfielders though tbf..
Ohio Saint Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Bart had some cracking good games when we were in the championship the first time round. Many here wanted him to take over from Kelvin. I think it's a bit harsh because of his recent bad form.
Colinjb Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 . There you go, i've got our worst tactic from the wilderness years in there too. Might need to find 6 more central midfielders though tbf.. Ah, back in the day.... ----------------------- John ---------------------- Hammill -------------------------------------- Licka ----------Safri ------ Wright ----- Idiakez --------- Skacel ------- Bennett ----- Davies -------- Thomas ---------------------- Bart ------------------------

Colinjb Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Picking Bart is as crazy as it is fcking harsh. Fair enough if we'd only had him and Kelvin, but we made do with KEVIN MILLER FFS. Still, despite never playing, that place has to go to Forecast just for getting paid. Given the sheer scale of absolute dross we've had, picking Skacel seems equally ridiculous. Hardly his fault some fans expected him to be Ronaldinho. He was still pretty good. If you think Molyneux or Dickson were better, you haven't seen much football. That was just a hypothetic Burley team with many CM's team from back in the day, my serious pick was further up.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Poke James Lancashire Liptak Harding Thomson Hammond Wotton Guly Pekhart Perricard
saintmatt Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 I have little or no recollection of some of the players mentioned, repressed memories!?
Colinjb Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Poke James Lancashire Liptak Harding Thomson Hammond Wotton Guly Pekhart Perricard Well, that puts my pick of Belmadi into perspective!
saintmatt Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Poke James Lancashire Liptak Harding Thomson Hammond Wotton Guly Pekhart Perricard I'd question you on three of those and the fact I don't need to highlight which three probably tells its own story!
S-Clarke Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Poke James Lancashire Liptak Harding Thomson Hammond Wotton Guly Pekhart Perricard Hammond, Harding and Guly?!?!?!?!? Have you been following us at all prior to the last 3 years???? Trust me, those 3 are world beaters compared to the dross we've had in their positions. Bit disrespectful to select them as well due to the contributions they've made to our turn around.
disintegration87 Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Who Ever Played For Saints Against Bristol Rovers FA CUP 2008. Best thing about that away day: Rickie Lambert came into my life!

teamsaint Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 apart from players, this was one of the worst nights, certainly at home. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7248322.stm Just remember the last 20 mins watching Wright lumping useless ball after useless ball at their defence, and thinking, "we are never going to score here". and we were playing Plymouth. Still, luckily, as Luggy pointed out , we were too good to go down..............

Still, luckily, as Luggy pointed out , we were too good to go down.............. The embarrassing thing about that Plymouth team is the fact that Wotton was an unused substitute
Raging Bull Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Another summer break thread. We have seen some real guff served up. Only stipulation is they must have played a 1st team game. Bart James Lancashire Bennett Molyneux Wright Roman Gasmi (sp) Euell Sarimento Peckart McGoldrought Manager: Dodd & Gorman Gasmi did play 1st team but only as a sub once or twice.......utter turd in football boots!
L1Minus10 Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Kevin Miller ============= Jermaine Wright Olly Lancashire Darren Powell Stephen O'Halloran =============== Jacob Mellis Lloyd James (I feel this is harsh - must be someone worse) Jason Euell Ryan Smith =============== David McGoldrick Bradley Wright-Phillips Subs Jake Thomson Vincent Pericard Paul Smith Jordan Robertson Ryan Smith Nicholas Bignall Managerial Dream Team: Burley and Poortvliet
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Kevin Miller ============= Jermaine Wright Olly Lancashire Darren Powell Stephen O'Halloran =============== Jacob Mellis Lloyd James (I feel this is harsh - must be someone worse) Jason Euell Ryan Smith =============== David McGoldrick Bradley Wright-Phillips Subs Jake Thomson Vincent Pericard Paul Smith Jordan Robertson Ryan Smith Nicholas Bignall Managerial Dream Team: Burley and Poortvliet You cant have Burley as all the outfield players are in the correct positions
opthomps Posted 11 May, 2012 Posted 11 May, 2012 Who Ever Played For Saints Against Bristol Rovers FA CUP 2008. Best thing about that away day: Rickie Lambert came into my life! I would say the same against rotherham in the carling cup of 2008, but we had a couple of decent players in that team. Svensson, Perry, Cork, Surman, John. That's the problem of pre 2009. the whole regime was gutless, and without pride.
offix Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 For worst manager it surely has to be the Dutch duo, either individually or as a pair
martin_au Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 so apparently Pekhart has found his feet in Bundesliga now. scored 10 goals for Nuremberg this season, decent record for a mid-table side
lettuce Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 I see no mention of Peter Madsen or Jim Brennan, they must be languishing in the reserves...
James Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 GK: Kevin Miller (I still find it bizarre that he was first choice for a time - God we must have been desperate. DR: Jermaine Wright (Just the worst footballer I've ever seen) DC: Pele (Not a defender so why sign him as one?) DC: Bennett/Makin (that defensive pairing against Palace on the opening day of one season has got to be the weakest I've seen since supporting Saints) DL: Vignal (Had friends who said he'd be naff having seen him at Pompey, they were right - just shocking) ML: Hammill (Overweight and useless) MC: Safri (Don't think I ever saw him pass it forwards) MC: Idiakez (too old even when he signed for us) MR: Jason Euell (Mule - says it all) FC: David McGoldrick (thought he was all that, he wasn't. Every time I see one of his cockily taken yet missed penalties it makes me so angry) FC: Saga (with the caveat of it being once he'd signed permanently. Thought we'd signed the new Pahars but he was just dreadful after signing on the dotted line)
westmidlandsaint Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Miller ----------------- Molyneux Lancashire Liptak Ifill ----------------- Smith Sarmiento Gasmi ----------------- Pericard Bignall Robertson
Bananaman Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Harsh on Kevin Miller.. Thought he did well when drafted in.. sure he was no Kelv but thought we had him to thank for many points in his time
leithsaint Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Pekhart will possibly be a part of the Czech squad at Euro 2012. Pretty sure he played in their play off game back in November. Seems to have matured into a decent player.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Kevin Miller ============= Jermaine Wright Olly Lancashire Darren Powell Stephen O'Halloran =============== Jacob Mellis Lloyd James (I feel this is harsh - must be someone worse) Jason Euell Ryan Smith =============== David McGoldrick Bradley Wright-Phillips Subs Jake Thomson Vincent Pericard Paul Smith Jordan Robertson Ryan Smith Nicholas Bignall Managerial Dream Team: Burley and Poortvliet Ryan Smith in the starting XI AND on the bench. Interesting. He was pretty dire in fairness (although annoyingly did look like he could be brilliant - frustrating)
georgeweahscousin Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 No mentions for Gillett yet? He was woeful on every occasion I saw him. Lightweight, poor passer, poor tackler..... etc.
saintmatt Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 No mentions for Gillett yet? He was woeful on every occasion I saw him. Lightweight, poor passer, poor tackler..... etc. I thought he was pretty good tbh!

krissyboy31 Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Darren's Potter and Kenton have to be somewhere in the worst team
Big_Bald_Si Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Harsh on Kevin Miller.. Thought he did well when drafted in.. sure he was no Kelv but thought we had him to thank for many points in his time Completely agree with this. In fairness, during the "wilderness years", it'd be hard to pick our "worst" keeper, purely because I don't think we've had any absolute muppets in between the sticks at any stage (bar Bart and his howler against Blackpool - but that hardly makes him the worst either).
Elmore Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 Miller doesn't deserve to be on any of these lists imo. He did very well for us when he played and as pointed out by bananaman above we were really thankful for him at the time.
Lighthouse Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 (edited) Disagree with the nominations for Vignal, Miller and Ifil who I thought looked decent at times. Licka wasn't bad either, a bit lightweight but one of the better players under Pearson. I'll try and got for the players who actually played for us, not the ridiculous players like Pulis, St Juste and Forecast. Poke - Saw him ship 5 goals at Hull. Might have had a slight knock, but looked hopeless. James - Had the pace of a man twice his age, lightweight, tried to cross from the halfway line. Powell (Captain) - Mother of God why... Lancashire - Had none of the tallents you'd expect of a defender. O'Halloran - I think Martin O'Neal had a moan because we didn't play him enough. He was taking the p*ss surely? Ryan Smith - World Class. lol J. Wright - Even in his naturally possition he was hopeless. Euell - Played pretty much every game for 2 years, always up front or in midfield. Averaged about 3 goals a season. Sh*te. McCann - Maybe dropping down from the Prem will help him find his level... oh, ah no hang on... nope still crap. Pericard - Retired because he couldn't take the embarassment of going from Juventus to Havant and Waterlooville before his 30th birthday. Robertson/Pekhart - Pick one or the other, I can't decide. One goal each... that's about it. Actually I'll go with Robertson, he can talk to Pericard about prison. Subs: Pick any from Kenton, Sarmiento, Hammill, Forte, Flakey, McGoldrick (£1m ), Wise, Paterson, Idiakez, Thompson, Gasmi (pushing McCann for a start), Molyneux, Liptak (was it him who once ran half the length of the pitch looking like he was tackling himself?).

Kingsland Red Posted 12 May, 2012 Posted 12 May, 2012 How has Tomas Hajto slipped under the radar, I still have nightmares. Thank Markus we're now back on the Utopian Uplands and can leave all these names to Fitzhugh Fella and his fellow historians to big up (or not ).
