Ex-Wolf Watch

Iirc didn't Atkins have a decent season playing sweeper?

Not why we bought him and we had other players who'd have done just as well in that position.

Not why we bought him and we had other players who'd have done just as well in that position.

Did a job though. I'd put Cutrone and / or Hoever above Atkins in your list.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't say Cutrone looked a bad idea before he even got here. Other than him not really wanting to come.

 

[AndyWolves]

I didn't think Cutrone fitted how we played at all, coupled with him not being very good and not wanting to be here. But I can see your point.

 

[WsWolf]

He didn't really, nearly every goal of his I saw was him getting across the centre half to score from a cross. Ideal for a team that barely crosses and when they do it's looped from the byline.

Has to be a place for, “Freddie, Freddie, Freddie” Eastwood.

The scouting under Jackett was atrocious. We recruited Mason, Rowe, Wallace, Byrne & Saville expecting them to be completely different players to the actual reality.

Wallace was the worst one, you could take 4 quotes from club officials talking about Wallace across the duration of his time at the club and you'd think they were talking about 4 completely different players.

Joe Mason was described by Ken as 'the perfect #10' when we signed him.

Tommy Rowe, the wettest of wet blankets, was recruited to improve our physicality and aerial ability at LB after he happened to score a few headers from set pieces for Peterborough the previous season.

When we signed Nathan Byrne we acknowledged that he wasn't quite ready but we thought that he was such a prodigious talent that if we waited too long we wouldn't be able to afford him.

Saville was apparently a 'tough tackling midfielder'.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Kenny (Jackett) thought they all had the requesite POWER he was after for the team.

[YoungWolf]

Assuming he’s not analysing the game he played Doherty and Borthwick-Jackson as inverted full backs…

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Saville was apparently a 'tough tackling midfielder'.

The fact he got well over double figure yellow cards for Brentford should have sounded the klaxon..

 

[WsWolf]

Gibbs White nearly killed some poor ballboy with a wayward penalty

 

[WsWolf]

And makes amends with a belting header.

 

[big mean bunny]

It was an odd pen, I always hate the stutter run ups anyway but he hits it very straight and with no bend or after touch, pretty much directly wide.

Decent header.

Neill Collins appointed as Barnsley manager.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Watched this earlier, what an atmosphere that day. It was wild, we were always underdogs, that Albion team was full of quality, where as we were blood, guts and energy.

Oh and Seyi breaking his own record for closest goal of his career.

Emotional reunion with Marcal

Was sat in the Billy Wright upper & remember it like it was yesterday. We were right behind Phillips when he hit that first goal and you could see it was in from the moment it left his foot.
