After people complained about a lack of fitness and passion last season, I find it refreshing to see players saying things like this:

Paul Evans was perhaps an unexpected face at training on Monday. The first team were granted a day off after a busy first week, but Evans himself opted to join in with the training session that took place for the reserve team ahead of their fixture against Yeovil.

"I joined in with the reserves and youth team who were training. In fairness I have only played a half here and there, as well as 90 minutes against Rochdale. I always want to keep on top of my fitness and stay as fit as I can, it certainly didn't do any harm!"

i fucking love evans already, not as much as ty though

where is Ty these days? He wasn;t that good though, was he? Not as good as Cuervo, woooaaaahhhh

Gooden started off okay, but then ended up no better than Joey Beauchamp...

I wouldn;t go that far! Joey was utter cack.

Surely he couldn't have been that bad  :shock:

i will stab both of you. cuervo was ace aswell. but ty was the man

He was always getting caught for hand ball

Gooden was cack Bennet, deal with it.

you're too young to remember him that well

No, Benett... i remember all too well. I was delighted when he signed for the Gills.

you're too young

Ty was ace. Was probably my favourite player alongside George Ndah at one point. Was so disappointed he left!

I'm not much younger than you, beneT...

2 years if a long time. plus...you're ginger, you must've spent most of your childhood in a fucking cage anyway

says the German  :wink:

Sometimes I think, I wish I was a bit younger etc.

But when I read things like that I think to myself thank fuck I'm my age.  If Ndah and Gooden were my favourite players I think I'd have to shoot myself.  In the grand scheme of things they're both irrelevant to me.

Thank God for Peter Coyne (my favourite from my early days), Alan Mac, Fraser, CC, Shaun, Jan and others.

With Evans setting such a good strong example of commitment with extra training etc. lets hope Pook can take a leaf out of his book.  They're going to have to upeir game anyway as competition for places will be so much stronger if we sign Ince and also when Whally/Gurney return.

Talking of Gurns, nice to see he is in the squad tonight for the reserves...

evans is the perfect embodiment of the sort of footballer i love :thumbs:

Groan.... not Gurney, for bollocks sake.

At the time Jan!!!

Everybody has favourites through time, like now I think Peacock and Brezovan are demi-gods  :)  It doesn't make them the best players ever to have worn the red shirt

While we are on the subject, I would like to add that my favourite player of all time is the wonderful Micky Hazard.  Genius.  He could beat a man just by turning 360 degrees on the spot, and his range of passing was beautiful.

And he had the worlds biggest thumbs :shock:

Bit harsh.

Many of our players have come out of Wises pre-season far better than last, nothing to say Gurney can't do the same>? Give him a chance at least.

I have had it with that blokes inadequacy. And at his age, he won't change much... in God knows how many years he's played for us, he's probably impressed me about 4 times.

MHWG?!  :shock:

Joking of course

Gurneys unlikely to feature now according to official site.

He's ran away with Walrus to get married

does this mean you're not coming along?  :D

nice one evans!!

As for Gurney, at least he knows how to take a fucking penalty  8)

Debatable

I only remember Gurns missing one for us...off the post...

Admittidly the most important one...but

Didn't he miss at Leeds too?

Of course he did - he has not bottle, all mouth.
