    Just seen a tweet from Doug O'Kane saying that Bolton have 3 ex reds for our game tomorrow - Lloyd Isgrove, Gethin Jones and Declan John...

    I've just looked him up and, sure enough, he played 9 games for us in 2015. But I have no recollection of him whatsoever.

    I consider myself pretty good on reds players over the last 15 years or so and would like to think I wouldn't have forgotten anyone who'd played a decent amount of times for us, so I was surprised to see that I'd completely forgotten this guy in just a few years!

    Does anyone remember him?

    Pretty sure I can remember him. Left back/left midfield I believe.

    In all fairness though we’ve had a lot of players over the last decade!

    He was signed on loan from Cardiff towards the back end of the 2014/15 season under Lee Johnson.

    The former Blue Peter and One Show presenter has seen his career go downhill fast.

    Wasn’t very good but wasn’t terrible was just another average LB to go with the rest we’ve had over the last few years. Been one of the positions we struggle to find someone decent, but I’d say White was good, Yiadom was good for a spell on the left and of course Styles was class last season but was always destined to play further up the pitch.

    I remember him; from the days when we used to sign players like Callum Mc, Callum Elder and similar. Similar time to that winger we signed who is now at Wendies.
    We experimented a lot at that time.

    My memory of Declan John is that he wasn't very friendly (compared to some players) when I went to say hello at warm up. Although I appreciate he was supposed to be concentrating :)

    He was average from what I remember, but still levels above George Smith.

    Jones was a right back who came on loan from Everton during 2016-17. He wasn’t great, played quite a few games IIRC.

    Declan John was fairly average from what I recall. That's probably why you don't remember him. It's the good ones and the bad ones you always remember.

    We had a lot of young lads in loan from the Premier League around then that didn't really impress.

    Declan John, Gethin Jones, Korey Smith, Callum Elder, Kadeem Harris, Dan Crowley, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Joe Rothwell, Joe Dudgeon. Probably a ton more who I've forgotten.

    Reece Brown, anyone remember him? Absolutely shocking! Oh and James Bailey, the softest midfielder Iv ever laid eyes on!

    Remember when we had Jack Hunt, I genuinely thought he looked quality for a while.

    Reece Brown is one of the worst defenders I’ve ever seen play for Barnsley.

    Declan John was rotten - a typical squeaky dwarf signing, along with the likes of that Bolton striker.
