TMS thread for the England v Netherlands cricket World Cup game today was comparing England players to cars.
So I thought we should give it a try for this season's Town squad.
I will start it off with an easy one:
Dossevi - like an East German Trabant, perpetually in the slow lane causing hold ups. Often seen on the hard shoulder with smoke coming from under the bonnet.

I think our entire team is like a NASA moon buggy. Impressively engineered on paper yet apparently only used to the ball moving under a gravitational force of about 1/6th of it does at the county ground.

I have another:
JP McGovern - like a Ford Capri, once stylish, with a few good turns and still sought after by the nostalgic, but owner struggling to resist desire to upgrade to an Audit TT

The whole squad are like Dagenham Dustbins....look OK, and modestly priced, but underlying flaws lead to short longevity and depreciation in value.
The salesmen in the showroom, can get the odd mark-up on a flashy model....but MOT failure likely within a couple of years.
Bits start falling off at the merest sight of Dagenham....hence the name.
Bring back Maurice Earle.....

Phil Smith - A Chevrolet Lacetti. A solid enough performer, but handling can be a bit shit at times.
