    I don't think I have seen as many ***** players in a red shirt as I did that season - Marriott, Flynn, Gibbs, Regan, Morgan (yes he was ***** that season), Donovan, Sand, Neill, Rankin - all utter toss.

    The only players from that squad who would get into the current team are Dyer and Sheron.

    That team went down on 48 points. Has the standard of the second tier improved that much that the current squad have performed pretty much as bad as that side? Or are the current players really no better than that set of losers??

    I think its the standard thats improve, this squad is a whole lot better that the '02 squad.

    Without seeing the league table from that season i would bet that probably what 4 maybe 5 ex prem teams where in the division at that time

    League standard is much higher

    Rankin utter toss???

    I remember being sat in the ponte end may have been season before, struggling for survival and he came on and put his foot through the ball a la les ferdinand, turned the game, got three points stayed up. Cracking strike full of power past the keeper.

    If we had someone that dare actually have a shot we wouldn't be in the position we have been in the last few seasons!

    Bless him, no where near a top class striker but I will never forget that goal.

    It was in league one

    We could have gone down to league two and he scored in the very last minute against Brentford I think to keep us up

    Then the year after he scored against us while out on lan to Grimsby and made gestures to our fans which prompted his sale.

    RE: sheron!!!! are you kidding???

    if we'd paid £300k for him - then fair enough. But his transfer fee and his wages were well out of order. He was very poor value. To think of the money we lashed out on him - but somehow we thought that £1 million quid was good money for Redfearn. I ask you - Sheron or Redfearn?

    I know which I'd want.

    how long did he play for us??? I don't think I saw him put his foot into a tackle, chase a ball into the corners, close down a defender or put his head where it hurts once in the eternity he played for us

    RE: sheron!!!! are you kidding???

    I remember him having a purple patch, around the time he curled one in at Bramall Lane. Class goal.

    I was never in the Sheron "Hate club", and at the time couldn't understand it. His wages were obviously the issue, but I though he put in alot more effort than he was given credit for. Don't get me wrong, he was never a favourite, but I can think of alot more annoying, worthless players..... I'm ready .....

    But as I say ... lack of effort ....

    John Oster
    Deon Burton
    Clayton Blackmore

    I think Sheron put in effort - I just think he was scapegoat No 1 (because of his salary) :)

    richard frigging naylor, an abysmal loan striker, no wonder he was converted to be a centre half
