The9 Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 (edited) Jamie White started a league game for us? Do not remember that. Me neither - probably because he only lasted until half time. Strangely, the team on that day was absolutely nowhere remotely near one of our worst - Cork, on loan and by far our most energetic and outstanding player at the time, didn't even start.

farawaysaint Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Crap forward line but a fairly decent championship team aside from one or two gaping holes. Surman played cb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 God I remember that game. At a time when I could barely afford to travel down for it. Jamie White really deserved better then his broken leg. Banging them in at conference level for Salisbury at the age of 23, he will at least get to the football league... I believe it. Love these kind of perspective threads.... not sarcasm, I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the CBs are named after the GK and before the FBs for some reason. EDIT : Ah, it's because both Surman and James are listed as midfielders on the Soccerbase site, so Perry and Svensson are the "only" defenders listed so are above them on the list. The team has 1 GK, 2 DF, 6 MF and 2 AT, which is surprisingly near what we actually play nowadays, as it happens!

Love these kind of perspective threads.... not sarcasm, I really do. I literally cannot remember a single second of it, and I know I was there. I do recall watching us having gone to Cardiff for the first match, missing the Birminghamvhome defeat to go to V Festival and then seeing us get thrashed 4-1 at QPR the week after on tv in the Mitre in Portswood, but absolutely no recall of this game whatsoever.

Simon Grayson's program notes haunt me. Couldn't afford season ticket and the transport at the time so the ones I made it to stick a bit, Paraphrasing: "We are relegation stragglers, we need to take all the chances we can." Thoroughly underwhelming and of course it was a penalty that did it for them. Amazing that Cork was an unused sub.

Lighthouse Posted 10 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2013 I remember the game, mainly because I was watching on a dodgy stream from a small house in rural Germany. I knew we would be in trouble watching that. From what I remember we were completely toothless up front, White in particular looked a long way out of his depth. It was nice to see Killer back but he was 5 yards off the pace. Gillett gave the ball away a lot and play just seemed to bypass Morgan, who looked completely lost. Perry and Davis were the only 2 positives really, there was very little quality elsewhere. Don't know if White even played for us again, remember he got dragged off at H/T.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Was this on sky? Seem to remember this? Was it double-barrell fat boy that got the winner? Seem to recall knowing then we were going down, and accepting we were never going to be a prem side again. Half right at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's arguments that such a claim is hyperbolic. But it has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. Granted I'm probably biased, but I have loved it, and would not trade it for any other clubs last 5 years (yeah, I'm definitely biased when I think about it).

Frankly whether we were the best doesn't matter. It was just an absolute riot! Pure joy on a consistent basis.... it'll probably never be repeated.... But we had it.

shurlock Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 IIRC there was a lot of optimism around the game - we had just played Derby off the park, a team that had been tipped to go straight back up. We hit the post and missed a number of sitters in the opening period before we got hit by the inevitable sucker punch. Should have won the game which made the result all the more deflating for such a young team. Arguably one of the first big nails in the coffin, at least on the pitch.

Meanwhile, on that very same day, Portsmouth thrashed Everton at Goodison with goals from England internationals Defoe and Johnson and assists from Peter Crocuh. Just saying....

a1ex2001 Posted 11 September, 2013 Share Posted 11 September, 2013 Always felt sorry for Jamie White he had so much potential but for me that season destroyed his career he was far to young and lacking in experience to carry the weight we put on him. I'm not saying he would have been premier leaue but I think he was far to talented to sink as far as he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd scored loads the previous season, I think he went out on loan in the end. A rare Lee Holmes start as well. We all thought Gillett was going to be decent at the time, that season was a good example of how not to use the academy, introduce kids to a side in tatters and expect them to take on the responsibility of turning it around. It was a very poor team, the experienced players were mostly past it (Killer, Perry, Wotton) and the youngsters either weren't up to it yet (Morgan, Dyer, Lallana) or never would be (Holmes, White, McGoldrick, Gillett). Surman was our star at the time and he was out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh I think McGoldrick and Gillett have both proved themselves reasonable Championship players and Holmes if it wasn't for hi broken body is easily upto that level.

Lets B Avenue Posted 11 September, 2013 Share Posted 11 September, 2013 It was live on Sky as their Saturday lunchtime game (hence why we lost) and Andre Marriner, this Sundays ref, was in charge and gave the pen right at the end of the first half.
