    What player did you never rate that majority of Reds fans loved

    David Watson for me

    Great shot stopper but put us under pressure many times with his lack of Ariel presence and poor distribution in my opinion

    Also got lobbed about 5 times a season

    Probably have to go with him too. It wasn't that I didn't rate him so much as I found his inability to stay onside so frustrating.

    There are probably other players who are oblivious to the offside rule, but Dyer has to be the worst that I can recall. That was certainly the main reason I didn’t rate him highly.

    I think his more lazy style didn’t sit well with me either. And we obviously paid a lot for those privileges too.

    Martin Bullock. Fifteen games of lightweight dross and constantly giving the ball away for every magical moment.

    I think Nardiello wrote the book on being offside, but Dyer definitely contributed the foreword.

    He was an absolute enigma. For every perfectly weighted through ball there was a misplaced 5 yard pass.

    Nwakali at the minute. I don't see it. Yes he's neat and tidy, but he's no legs and doesn't want to work.

    Luke Steele. Lovely bloke, but a poor all-round keeper and a diabolical kicker

    Poor all round? Wow surprised at that mate. Thought he was a very good shot stopper. Kicking was definitely subpar however

    Nicky Eaden...nobody around me rated him...I thought he was best crosser of a ball I've seen at Oakwell
