Lighthouse Posted 12 March, 2021 Share Posted 12 March, 2021 4 minutes ago, hypochondriac said: Jermaine Wright No, he was just crap. Not helped by Burley’s absurd obsession with playing him anywhere at any cost. I think Hooiveld got more stick than he deserved in the Premier League. He and Fonte both looked very sketchy in our first season back up, the latter only really steadied when Lovren came in. Jos wasn’t PL standard admittedly but a couple of unfortunate own goals gave him an undeserved reputation as being a hopeless liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 12 March, 2021 Share Posted 12 March, 2021 ‘Sideways’ Magilton and Glenn(da) Cockerill used to take a fair deal of flak at one time. Going back Lew Chatterley was a bit of a skapegoat in the 70’s especially after relegation when he’d just joined from Lawrie’s old club. Hugh Fisher about the same time, although redeemed himself with his part in our cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonraker Posted 13 March, 2021 Share Posted 13 March, 2021 Their used to be a group of fans in the archers who could see no value in David Armstrong, based on some of the views on some of our current players I assume they are still alive and still no nothing about football.

Toussaint Posted 13 March, 2021 Share Posted 13 March, 2021 Rasiak went right off the boil and drew a lot of ire. I personally had it in for Cockerill, not sure why, I was mid screaming abuse at him one time when he banged in a stunning 30yd volley. Made me look a tit!

saintwbu Posted 13 March, 2021 Share Posted 13 March, 2021 Stephens gets abuse for everything he does wrong, and normally gets abuse for everything someone else does wrong too. An interesting thread would be ‘players who seem to be immune to criticism’, Hojbjerg and Bednarek definitely seemed to have magic powers to avoid criticism for anything they did/do wrong.

I remember Sniderlein getting a bit of grief in his early days when he was still establishing himself and trying to find his best position. I think this was more to do with the fact he cost us £1m when we were absolutely skint rather than anything to do with him, fans were expecting someone to come in and made an immediate impact rather than needing a couple of seasons to develop.

The only winger I can remember who would run towards the corner flag when past his man raher than towards the goal. If he got his head up more often who could have been really good.

Yes, happy to eat my words over some of the garbage he signed that ended up alright. Perhaps he might be viewed a little more kindly on here had he not banged on about what a mastermind he was, only to disappear from view once results took a turn for the worse.
