    Hopefully a more pleasant thread.

    I really liked George Waring.

    Colin Marshall and Carl Barrowclough - 80s reserves. Never made it.

    I would have loved Danny Rose to have made it with us but he has had a very good career.

    I was going to say Colin Marshall. He plundered goals galore below first team level and think he had what, 2 or 3 sub appearances?

    I also thought Jovo. Talent and character galore, but he was expected to make the step up in the premier league.

    Jacob Butterfield. Fled at the first opportunity, but could've been a great servant somewhere

    Goran Lovre. Looked to have all the tools to be a great signing, but just never really worked out.

    Carl Barrowclough is one I definitely expected to have a decent career in the game, ditto Sean McClare. Heard a rumour Sean liked a drink a bit more than he should have. Don't know how true it is, but I did bump into him and Scott Jones out and about in Sheffield once and they were pretty well oiled.

    Brian McCord - brilliant on loan, utterly wnak once signed permanently. So bad in fact that I thought Derby might have sent us the wrong bloke.

    Paul Digby initially looked a class apart.

    Lloyd isgrove if we're including loans. Thought he would have a good career.

    Used to watch a lot of reserve games before I left Barnsley and had high hopes for Sean McClare, Brian O'Callaghan and Mark Burton.

    Oddly I was talking about this the other day. Lovre looked like he had all the attributes but for whatever reason it just didn’t happen.

    I really liked loan Chris Lumsdon. Permanent Chris Lumsdon just wasn’t as good.

    I also had big soft spots for Josh Scowen and Alfie Mawson. The latter sadly ruined by injury.

    Darren Foreman too. Similar to Marshall that he scored loads in the reserves, though he did at least get the winner against dirty Leeds in Machin’s first game.
