You talking about all round or specific games? cause Walcot and Bale had 1 or 2 games where they were shocking but Wright and Pele had a few games where they were some of the best players on the pitch. Few and far between for wright and his role just became more dependable than any good but not sure if overall he deserves to be in the bottom 5.

talking abour what it says on the tin..of course players have off days..good or bad...

 

i was close to dropping raz for kelvin but kelvin was a bit of a clown before this season..but respect to him, he seems to be the real deal now..

[saintjay77]

kelvin could also quite easily be in the 5 best and the 5 worst.

[Andy_Porter]

Best:

 

1) Bale

2) Walcott

3) Guthrie

4) Davies

5) Baird

 

Don't think it's really fair to include goalkeeprs, so i'll leave Niemi out.

[ottery st mary]

Baird

Bale

Walcott

Davis

Pele (when played centre defending mid field...lost opportunity)

 

Worse( bit unfair really)

 

Wright at Full back

Belmadi always injured Too late in career

Idakez " " " " " "

Forecast in the warm up only

Pulis in the treatment room only

[bpsaint]

Suprised so many people have forgotten Kenywyne Jones.

 

1.Bale

2.Baird

3.Jones

4.Rasiak

5.Belmadi

[NickG]

Hammill worse than those!

[Nexstar]

Bale

Baird

Walcott

Jones

Davis

[ottery st mary]

Sorry, forgot Jones for best and Hammill for worst....You are right bpsaint and NickG

 

Probably forgot a few..old age.

[St Marco]

Best i'd say

1. Jones

2. Rasiak

3. John

4. Davis

5. Wright (the goalie)

 

Worst

1. Wotten

2. Robertson

3. DMG

4. Powell

5. Davis (performances from last season especially reaction to us at the Weds game).

Don't see how you can say wotton and robertson, especially after his goal against norwich, are worse than Jermaine Wright?!

[St Marco]

1 good display does not make you good, Wotten has been by far our worst player when he is on the pitch. Anyone who goes to the games knows what im talking about. Very slow player, awful at passing, and goes to sleep every time there is a dead ball situation. Add to that he is unsure of how to play his position means most of the times the ball is dinked over his head and were in the hope Davis can save the 1 on 1.

Robertson has been **** poor for us this season in a season were doing the worst we have in the CCC. For example people mention Wright as being bad but they easily forget he was our 3rd best assister in our playoff season (our best season in the CCC). Ahead of players like Jones etc.. He has played some right dire games but he has also played some good games. Saying he is amongst the worst is laughable to me because what i have seen this year is nothing on comparison to his displays. Even with him in defence we looked more solid when Pearson took over. So i don't blame JW for being crap i blame the manager for not knowing how best to use him.

[hypochondriac]

Guthrie anyone?

[Scudamore]

How any worst of teams can not have Darren Powell is beyond me. Probably the worst Saints player i've ever seen in the flesh...

5. Davis (performances from last season especially reaction to us at the Weds game).

 

It was a shame he apologised. It was the fans who were out of order that day, not him.

[Greenridge]

To make up for the performance against Palace I fear he'd have had to captain England to World Cup glory.

 

Very good, I did chuckle at that one. To be fair though after his disastrous debut he turned in some pretty good performances.

[bungle]

What happened?

 

Saints team crap.

Saints concede 5 goals (admittedly 1st one was penalty KD gave away, but still)

Fans shout abuse at Davis as he is 'keeping in front of away fans in 2nd half as goals rain in

Kelvin swears at fans.

Two days later Kelvin "apologies" on OS.

[Whitey Grandad]

Born in Cork, he's played a couple of times for the Republic of Ireland.

Dont be silly. We have the best squad of players we have had since relegation by a street. They are more talented; they try harder and they are by a million miles more entertaining. Yes they are young and yes they and we are suffering from it. They remind me very much of the Wolves squad of 12 months ago. I think that says it all.

so we remind you of a team who didn't have the players scoring all the goals... Iwelumo and Ebanks-Blake?

[Saintrowe]

what about the nice chap who was on the pitch monday?

 

He was f@/king shocking, and should not be anywhere near the pitch?

 

I think his name is Rupert w'*kstain Lowe;)

 

Sorry could'nt help myself:D

How dare you say that about Jan's first very own signing?

 

It must have been a very good video, eh NickH??

 

Or was he not signed on the evidence of a video, but on Hockaday's recommendation, the guy previously responsible for coaching the youngsters in silky skills.

[AndyNorthernSaints]

Best

 

Niemi

Richard Wright

Kelvin Davis

Guthrie

Bale

 

Worst

 

Donkey Powell

Wotton

Smith

McGoaldrought

Best

 

The fact that there are 3 keepers in my best top 5 says alot about Saints performances in this league :-(

[Eddie Moliano]

Bennett was a very good defender for us bar his debut.

[Arizona]

I don't think anyone can honnestly put Niemi in their best CCC players list. Fantastic in his first 2 seasons, very good in the relegation season, but inconsistent in CCC.

 

I'd go for

 

Best:

1.Walcott

2. Bale

3. Baird

4. Rasiak (always scored goals when in the team)

5. Skacel (No seriously, can anyone name a time when he put in a string of poor performances)

 

Hon. mentions to:

1. Pele - Would have been up their with Baird and Bale if he'd play ALL season in midfield. I'd have him ahead of MS if I'm honnest. Good ball winner, passer and very hard to knock off the ball.

2. Guthrie - Only got half a season here, but looked pretty good.

3. R. Wright - As above

4. Vignal - When I think we could have had a left flank of Vignal and Skacel last season, but instead had to endure JW and Euell...

5. Kenny - Crap first season, massive improvement second season.

6. A. Davies - What might have been eh.

 

Worst (out of the regular culprits, not people like Sarmiento and Tejera:

1. Powell

2. J. Wright

3. Powell. Sh*t, said him already, alright er... Chris Makin.

4. DMG. I'm not writing him off, but we've had 3 years of intermittent gash from him.

5. Can't think of anyone else. My mind keeps going back to Powell. Actually, Vincent Pericard

 

(Dis) Hon. Mentions to:

1. Euell. Looking much better this season, but his performances have been few and far between. Last season however he was a stallwart and was karp.

2. Brett Ormerod. Even after dropping a league, he still couldn't find the net.

3. Wotton. Really not that good.

4. Hammill. We've finally found the answer to a question that has plagued mankind for centuries, 'who ate all the pie!'

[St Marco]

 

 

McGoaldrought

[Big Ron fan]

Best:

Worst:

Pele (when played at centre-back, but a good midfielder)

Bennett (improved after his shocking debut, but still poor)

Robertson

[L1Minus10]

Best

 

Kenwyne Jones, Chris Baird, Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Marek Saganowski

 

Worst

 

Jermaine Wright, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Nathan Dyer, Oliver Lancashire, Kelvin Davis (until this year)

I can't believe you didn't include O' Halloran. Made Ali Dia look a class act.

[Arizona]

I can't believe you didn't include O' Halloran. Made Ali Dia look a class act.

 

I said I didn't include players like Bacon Sarmi and Tejera who barely (if ever) played. Otherwise yes, everyone's list would be just Sarmi, Tejera, St Juste, SO'H and Mettomo.

[Chez]

O'Halloran actually played though unlike the others.

 

I feel Folly was much worse than Wright. I watched every singke one of his games for us plus the games for Wednesday and Plymouth against us and never seen him make a tackle. Total pants. Wright had some very good games at CM and despite a few shockers at right back (Colchester away springs to mind) he got far too much abuse IMO and showed what a true pro he was by playing throuigh the boos and having some fantastic games at right back. Brilliant in the air.

[martin_au]

just after gareth bale's departure to spurs i met le god at the soccer 7s in hong kong and he commented leon best is our next hot prospect with a great future ahead of him... hmm

[L1Minus10]

how can you say BWP is worse than Hammil? God I hated him as a player for us, such a disappointment

 

Hammill flattered to deceive but was almost exclusively played on the wrong wing by Whisky George. BWP has had 2 and a half years of being in the main, abysmal with poor attitude and on £8k a week allegedly so he is worthy of his place I feel.

[new_zealand_saint]

ok well in my opinion, bale was poor. Hear me out, but he was a left-back, who had no positional sense at all, and couldn't mark to save his life! Unless i'm very much mistaken, these are two of the key abilities for a full-back? If he concentrated more on his defence than his hairstyle then he'd be a much better player. Don't get me wrong, hugely talented player who has potentially a great future in the game...just not at left-back and everytime i saw him i got worried when their right winger got the ball.

 

Best:

Niemi, Baird, Jones, Walcott and Guthrie

 

Worst:

Powell, Wright, Pericard, O'Halloran, Matthew Patterson

[alpine_saint]

McGoldrick deserves to be in the worst 5.

Yeah, like Bale said 'I really, really, really want to play left back, and if you won't let me play there I'm going back to Mum'.

 

He was an OK LB, certainly a better LB than any we have at present, and he was/is a very, very good player. Which is what the question kinda asked.

 

And it seems to me he pays absolutely no attention whatsoever to his hairstyle - but maybe it looks very modern in NZ.

[saint1977]

Best 5 - Bale, K Jones, R Wright (although Kelvin has been great this season), Walcott, A Davies

 

Worst 5 - crikey, so many to pick from....- J Wright, McGoldrick, Makin, Wotton and Pekhart.

 

Pele could go in the top 5 as a DM but he would be the top pick in the worst 5 as a CB. That display V Derby when it really mattered still haunts me, Nick Holmes could have loaned us one of his YTS CB's and they wouldn't have done any worse against Steve Howard.

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Most sparkling performances over a short time -

Bale, Walcott, Saga, Guthrie, A Davies

Worst performances (ignoring better ones afterwards if relevant)

J Wright, Makin, Bennett, K Davis, Pericard

Many others worthy of mention, but we've had so many players it's hard to pick people on the basis of a lot of games as there have been few who've stayed around long enough.

[Give it to Ron]

Powell has to be in everyones list as I can hardly think of a worst player than him - what a terrible waste of a signing and wages. I was gobsmacked when we renewed his contract.

I remember in a pre-season game at Eastleigh where we trialled that giant that went to Bristol City? Powell spent all game moaning and groaning at defenders when he did bugger all himself and was outshone by part timers.

Notable mentions again to Hammill who jinked and stepped over as good as Mr Wu and just about as much end product goalwise. To be fair to GB he did send him on to the right a few times but the plumb was so fat he couldnt get across the pitch to take up his position.

Lancashire is young but has been abysmal in games I have seen him and far too lightweight for this league.

Jermaine in midfield was atrocious but half decent at right back.

Pericard was like a tortoise on valium, couldn't be arsed to chase or do anything for his wages.

 

Good Players

Kenwyne

Theo

Bale

Baird

Stern ( a real goalscorer)

[Chez]

McGoldrick deserves to be in the worst 5.

 

who's opinion are you going to base that on?

[La BoIS Saint]

Just been sent this link of a Belmadi goal from the weekend. We could do with some of that!
