Terrible takes.

I remember scoffing at the pre season news that Coady was put into a back 3.

I remember watching one of the friendlies on a club stream and wondering who the gobby shite at the back was, assumed they were a trialist pushing for a place...
 
Del Woppio commented above about the relative speed of play in the Bundesliga and the Prem. Funnily enough I was thinking about pace the other day while watching the Bayern vs Dortmund highlights on YouTube.....

Really joined up, fluid and fast, so credit to Vincent Company and Co. Meanwhile, our lot having played the comatose Horseshoe of Doom for a fair few years should study how they move forward and learn something from it!

Wolves versus Sheffield United, 2nd January 1995.

Loads of our fans are streaming out and we are losing 0-2 after 91 minutes..... Bear in mind that we had been stuffed on Boxing Day by Oldham 4-1 in a rainstorm and that wretched Andy Ritchie scored a hat trick while Neil Emblen was playing centre forward!!!

We were absolute crap again versus Sheffield but then Neil Emblen starts playing like a berserker up front. I stay but grumble and chunter about our Neanderthal approach and the South Bank agrees chanting for the manager's head.

Then it all went mad, John de Wolf scores a penalty after 91 minutes and Neil Emblen equalizes right at the end. Funny old game isn't it when we are absolutely crap and then in just a few minutes it all changes and the lads are heroes....

The David Jones free kick, opening day vs Stoke, ball rolled to him, flicked it up and volleyed home...

He had tried this a few times the season before to terrible effect and as he stood over the ball I said rather loudly, "oh not this shit again", he then smashed the ball home!

In my defence he tried but never managed to do it again

I don't remember him trying it before then, but I do remember how easy it made it look when he did score.

We were convinced in the pub after (a few pints deep) that he'd actually unlocked a new free-kick trend and that everyone was going to start doing it.

In hindsight, a terrible take.
 
Maybe continuing to think Hammill would be amazing for us.

I held on to hope with Lage a lot longer than most (on here). It was just hope more than anything though. Not sure I ever believed he would turn it round.

Nathan Blake was class for Sheff Utd that day.

We were abject though for the first 91 minutes!

The "Mancienne is gash" one was a weird one for Del, as there was about 20 games where Mancienne was class. But other than that he was average, so Del was ultimately right.

He was gash in MLS; ‘nuff said.

Wait

God that was a dismal day till the last few minutes. It was freezing, both teams were quite shit and frankly didn't look interested, it looked like they'd all been on a bender. It's the closest me and my lad have ever come to leaving early, it felt a quarter of the ground had.
Great scenes at the end and I got to take the piss out of a guy at work who heard the roar of the crowd half way back to the station.

I think he played for England u21s before we signed him and he looked ace
I was so happy we'd got him, but then yeah

That was the last time I left a game early
 
Thought Johnson and O'Hara were going to be excellent signings (doubt I'm in the minority here)
Thought Doumbia was going to be quality
Thought Collins was an excellent signing
Thought Ikeme was better than Martinez
Thought Coady was rubbish and should be sold when Nuno came in
Once had Karl Henry's name on the back of a shirt as a kid
Wanted Steve Davis over Kenny Jackett
Wanted us to sack Lambert and bring in Gary Rowett
Rate Lopetegui

I'm pretty sure he was decent when he was on loan with us before we bought him

We never bought him.

He looked reasonable for about a month in the best team in the Championship where he didn't have to do much defending, then he got bullied by Cameron Jerome, then he got absolutely beasted by Patrick fucking Agyemang, and then went back to Chelsea. A whole 10 games for us at that level, one of which was as a sub for about 5 minutes against Swansea, another sub appearance vs Sheff Utd, and those two where he was shite.

Awful beyond belief as a CH in the Premier League (his final game vs Blackburn was amazingly inept) and a horrible midfielder.
