I believe he's a very, very nice bloke but he's (now) a fucking terrible footballer. Is he, pound for pound, our worst ever player? We've had worse players that have played a game or two but I can't think of anybody else who has been as bad as him and continued to be picked so regularly... Pound for pound? Gerrard.

Crusoe Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Fane or O'Grady? Some short memories. Forbes Parker Purdie (not his fault, admittedly) Feeney Cassidy ...just from the last 10 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 2 hours ago, rudemedic said: For those interested O’Grady reached the following milestones at games 10th game- Grimsby (a) (September) 15th game - Bradford (a- JPT) (October) 20th game - Notts County (a) (November) (Surridge injured) 25th game - Rochdale (a- JPT) (December) 30th game - Notts County (h) (January) (Miller had gone) (Surridge not fully fit) 35th game - Yeovil (h) (Scholes’ first game) 40th game - Lincoln (a) (Scholes’ last game) 45th game - Mansfield (h) Although I think the clause would have probably been triggered by then, I think it is interesting to note that 2 potential milestones for automatic renewal were in Scholes’ brief reign. I have no problem if AL told Scholes not to play O’Grady to stop a contract renewal. I doubt that was the cause of Scholes packing his bags though. After his performance against Bury at BP, and due to some personal reasons, I’ll always have a soft spot for O’Grady. He isn’t a trouble maker and keeping some experienced players around given the likely make-up of the squad next season makes a lot of sense. I think we could do better than him for his wage though. Good research, wouldn't it be starting games though? 25th or 30th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone still got footage of that (non) header at Charlton last season? Fane is the least skillful player to ever play 30 games for us in my memory. The fact he played 92 games shows the state of the level of football we've been in for 3 seasons. He is/was a runner / athlete masquerading as a footballer. I'll admit that had its uses in league 1, nevermind league 2. But I feel like I'm going over old ground here. So I'll say no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staling tactic, Yeah we tried but sadly he hates the owner like everyone’ else Nepo won’t play for the owners I believe. Think the ‘negotiating’ line in the retained list was an attempt to soften the blow when he eventually leaves. Although football is fickle and if it’s Oldham or no club he may change his mind.

Again - shows what a funny old game football is and how different people see different things. Fane - for me, a great player for breaking up the play (and initially some great bursting runs forward - had that coached out of him by those coaches much wiser than me) - genuinely think he'd have been a real asset at this level. O'Grady - wouldn't pick him for the pub side I watch - seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
