    Top 3 these were appalling for different reasons..
    1. Mido
    2. Fumaca
    3. Frimpong

    special mention Dwayne Mattis.. remember watching him at Newcastle in the cup if you’d have drawn a 10 yard box round him at the start of the game he’d have never left it in the entire match, a truly remarkable achievement

    Keith Brown springs to mind. At least he could be bothered to get out on the pitch though.....

    Unfortunately, my wife doesn't agree with you, old mate. It seems that every time I ask her a question these days, her reply is "I just told you two minutes ago!" :D:D

    Frimpong closely followed by Mvito for me although when you scratch your head there are a number of contenders.

    Even when we went down and sold ward he didnt play much if he would have scored that header in the play off final i would have cut him some slack.

    pollit. Simply because it made zero sense to sign him in the first place

    Thats a bit harsh, Crooks wasn't that bad. He's now the academy head coach at Wakefield FC.

    Frimpong & Mido worst free signings. Luke Thomas, Schmit in our best transfer window in history. They're not the worst players to play for us, but I think we overspent for what we got.
    Add Mike Sheron & some South American who we splashed out on. I can't for the life of me remember his name. Davey signed him?

    Ah, the old short-term versus long-term conundrum.

    Reading your posts is like a walk down Memory Lane for me. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything as I wander down said lane.

    I thought when he came on at Wembley we actually got back in the game , we all know missing the penalty was a big deciding factor , if we had gone in at half time leading it would have been a real boost & would have given Ipswich a kick in the nuts but its all history now & you cannot turn the clock back .
