    It's easy to say he was overrated last season because he was. He did okay and that was it. He made a lot more mistakes than any of our other centre backs.

    Nonsense. In my opinion.

    You must have missed the games he performed poorly in then.

    I may well have been fortunate, and the few home games I missed he may well have been poor in, you're right. But I don't recall him having many iffy games, just a couple, and of course, a few mistakes which is normal when you play week in week out, and in different positions alongside an everchanging set of teammates.

    Quite a few players mentioned above weren't really raved about anyway. I'd say that Nardiello was overpraised, Shuker won POTY despite being rubbish, Devaney, nice bloke though he is, wasn't owt like as good as he's made out to be and neither was Bullock, despite the flashes of brilliance. Jennings had one good game last season, against a non-league side, and yet still people say how good he was if he could only get fit. But, for me, the most overrated player in recent times is Jason Shackell. We let so many goals in from crosses with him at centre back and loads from back post headers by the guy he was supposed to be marking. Admittedly, he played a blinder when he last played at Oakwell for Burnley, but he had a stinker the game before when Danny Rose showed him up. Nowhere near as commanding as he was made out to be during the season he had with us and, by all accounts, his teammates were glad to see the back of the arrogant sod!

    The same Hungary which hasn't reached a World Cup finals since the 1980s. Slovenia have managed it at least once. Bosnia. Scotland.

    The same Hungary which has had one side in the Champions League group stages this millennium.

    The best Hungarian footballers don't do well internationally. God knows how bad the second level is.

    Jay McEveley.

    I used to think everyone thought he was **** but since he left I've seen some say he was better than Golbourne which seems crazy to me

    Craig Davies as well.

    Used to drive me mad, we played him as a lone striker but he couldn't hold the ball up, I'm struggling to think of a striker with a worst first touch. I was delighted when we got shut & got a proper partnership up front & improved

    I wouldn't know, but I'd wager it's a hell of a lot better than Maltese football. Which was the only point debated.

    You also said that Hungary were good once.

    I pointed out that, in European club football, and internationally, they have been appallingly bad since the 1980s - the whole of my lifetime, and then some.

    With that in mind, I don't think Ferenczi's seven billions goals in three games in the second tier of Hungary's football league is anything special.

    Darren Moore - clumsy, not much difference to BFJ.

    I watched Futcher, Evans and Big Mick too but I still rate Taggart highly. He had his flaws but his career after leaving Barnsley underlines how good he was.

    I think his 47 goals in 51 games for Ferencvaros was a relatively (key word) great achievement. Just as I'd think similar if Adebayo Akinfenwa knocked 47 goals in for Wimbledon next season.

    Now, were Ronaldo to sign for an obscure second tier Hungarian side and knock 47 goals in, I'd not be that moved by it.


    As for you trying to tell me Hungary aren't a force in world football anymore, cheers. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. Only that in comparison to ******* Malta they're a behemoth.
