Always interests me to see how players get on after swindon, only a hand full seem to be getting regular games. Apart from douglas and austin would any get into our side now?

Did you press post before you finished?  :)

:D

Looking forward to seeing the finished article!

May have pressed enter by accident half way through :smugfu:

Add to that list.....

Andy Frampton
Michael Timlin
David Ball
Jon Obika
Elliot Benyon
Alassane N'Diaye
Charlie Austin

EDIT:

I see you have now added Austin and Frampton :D

I would that pretty much all of them would be used as cover there is no way they would walk straight into a starting 11 this season.

I would've loved to have seen a front pair of austin and benson

I wouldn't have any of them back, well only Austin but he wouldn't fit in with the current setup.

Fuck 'em

I'd rather Austin in the team then Kerwho, he's still banging them in. but who cares they bottled it last season and we're about to win the league with possibly the best team i have ever seen.

If I'm honest, I'm happy that JP McGovern has done well at Carlisle.

Yeah, i never had a problem with J-PM, decent pro.

I'm looking forward to welcoming them back to the County Ground next season  :girlgiggle:

Good to see Lecs has got a few games in.

Cant see him being to to Championship standard assuming they get 2nd place though

Lecs is recovering from a ruptured cruciate ligament injury.

Hope he recovers to full fitness and that he'll be able to continue with his career.

What's happened to that gypsy Prutton ?

I heard somewhere that his caravan got repossessed

Great delight seeing that Michael Rose has only played 11 games. Stupid shit cunt.

Hopefully he'll get released and end up on the scrapheap.

I have it on good authority that Lecs has spent the past 3 weeks in a rehab clinic in France and the operation on his cruciate ligament went very well.

He hopes to be back in full training with Sheffield United by the end of August.  Hopefully by the time he is back in training it will be at a Championship club.

Alan O'Brien now at Gateshead ... Finally found his level!  Or does he have yet to go a few rungs further down?

Well I like Lecs, JP and Austin. Prutton seems to have had a fair few games, God knows how.

Big Kev at Rochdale? Poor him.

The only one who'd walk back in our team would be Austin...Douglas could contend, the rest would struggle to make the bench.

Douglas on form would get in to our team, considering no one has nailed down the starting sport alongside Ferry and considering Ferry and Douglas did so well together in our play off season.

This. One of my most disliked footballers ever to put on an STFC shirt.

Still one of life's mysteries how Wilson, who's clearly not a complete managerial idiot, managed to put together the worst STFC side in living memory....couldn't even finish above an Argyle side in absolute freefall managed by Old Monkeyhead with a ten point deduction   :crash:

Indeed.

Or how his coaching led players go from a season where they were in the form of their life to being the biggest bunch of no-hopers ever.

Letsbehonest about it-Douglas would be our best CM if still here.

All would be good with Dougie and Ferry in the middle.

Incidentally, was it ever mentioned why Ferry was so out-of-favour last season?

I think it's because Danny Wilson had come over all Rory Fallon and asked, what would jeezus do? The answer, naturally, would be that he'd pick himself. Being as Wilson wasn't from jerusalem or in the habit of being born to a virgin he went with a close second: Pick someone trying to look like him and with equally elevated views.

I for one like to think it was due to the team not being together as a group.
From the rumours that were flying about there were several factions in the dressing room (i.e. the ex-Leeds group etc...). Don't know if it was true but could explain some of the attitudes.

Also, another good reason why anyone who doesn't but into the team ethic needs to be ditched.

I blame rose

Ferry was shocking last season and was not rated by di canio early this season either. All credit to him for turning it around and playing superbly this season once he got his chance

I think it's generally accepted that this was the cause, but the mystery is why an experienced manager like Wilson couldn't seemingly deal with it.

Suppose just lots of things went wrong and it spiralled out of control....for example we'd agreed to buy Joe Mason from Argyle, whose shown at Cadiff he's a useful prospect, to replace Austin, but ended up Benyon.

Definitely Austin and Douglas would enhance our current team.  Lecs would be useful.
Cuthbert & McGovern in their play-off season form would definitely get games.
IMO not much to choose between Morrison & Flint, and Ball would be a better option to partner Benson than any of our current players.

As said by others, not a bad bunch of players, just something rotten that needed drastic surgery.

Said it before, I'll say it again.

Wilson can get a good team playing well, but he just can't manage. Hence the reason why he's known as a bottler and a one season wonder. He doesn't know how to fix things when they are going wrong.

He''ll do very well under a good DOF

Best DMC

Douglas, Morrison & Austin would walk into this team. McGovern probably as well, Benson would have a field day with McGovern's crosses.

Morrison? Sean Morrison? Will have to disagree there. Has/had bags of potential but give me Flint, Devera or McCormack any day of the week.

Douglas, Morrison, Austin, McGovern I totally agree with, when motivated anyway.

JPM for 2.5 years of the 3.5 years here was fucking shite - god was he abysmally shite for a lot of it. He was as big a shitbag as Aljofree was that season. He did have one great season though. Douglas had one good season and one shite season. Morrison promised a lot but delivered less. Austin would be the only one who would walk into this side. JFL would have been interesting.
PdC wouldn't put up with any of them- mentally weak.
I'd tell them all to fuck off though - its all about the team now.

I agree, Morrison was commanding, but not as commanding as Flint and by no means better than any of the current 3. All of which I believe are quicker.


 :sherlock:

As far as I am concerned we are better off without that shower of useless bottlers.

Has any other team lost in the play off final and come bottom the following season?

Milwall and Reading this season among a host of others showed the right response, go one better the following season not just give up like they all did - cunts.

I'd have Morrison over Devera easily. Over Flint or McCormack... Not sure. Sean's a competent CB at League One and will only get better. Devera's solid at League Two but personally I think he'll get found out a lot more in the level above.

I don't care what players we have as long as they give their all - which is what we've got now.

I know he wasn't in last years side, but I would love to see Simon Cox alongside Benson.  He always gave 100%, covered every blade of grass, and banged them in from all over the place, where Benson could pick up the scraps in the box.

Looks a lot fitter than last season, think it's down to a lot of hard work from him and the fantastic backroom setup we currently have
