The Definitive TWF Worst Wolves XI Thread

[Aikiwolf]

My feelings on Saville entirely. But I relented as Ricketts sicknote and ojo were awful.

Whilst Ojo was awful he at least managed to do a few stepovers and nearly beat a man. For me he provided some excitement (as in an excitement level of 3 or 4 out of 10) whereas Saville offered a -1 or -2 in my highly subjective excitement assessment!

Ojo dived as well which caused controversy/excitement. Another plus point for Sheyi!

 

[Law's Bus]

Generous.

True. Dowe was another of those "stand around and watch" midfielders that we specialised in during the 1990s.

 

[NE66Wolf]

Rowe
Ojo
Ricketts

He's going somewhere in my CM 6 I reckon. Gutless fraud. I couldn't stand him.

Pairing him and Seyi in a game against Albion (well any game, but especially that one) was not Mick's smartest move.

I miss your Olofinjana rants. They were a thing of beauty: not even the ones about Doherty come close!

I was an angry young man then. I'm a grumpy old bugger now. Therein lies the difference.

We'll have to agree to disagree - the only reason he's not in my 3 is because I voted for him at LB. A fraud of a footballer. Dr Bruce Banner had better control.

His fisrt touch was further than you can kick a ball

Old...!! What hope have us real wrinklies got..!!!

Old...!! What hope have us real wrinklies got..!!!

We have to be extremely elderly grumpy persons now - though strangely I've found that things don't annoy me as much as I've aged

I've got less life left so I'm not going to get upset by things that are inconsequential

There should have been an appearances minimum to be included. Seems to me that Ojo is getting in mostly on the "fresh in the mind" factor.

He was definitely shit, mind.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rohan Ricketts - 53
Sheyi Ojo - 25
Tommy Rowe - 25
Jeremy Helan - 16
Stephen Hunt - 13
Tim Steele - 6
Willie Raynes - 3
Michael Gilkes - 3
Darren Anderton, Jens Dowe, David Heywood, Michael McIndoe, Kyel Reid - all 2
George Saville, Jermaine Wright - both 1

Middle of the park. The engine room. The heartbeat of the team. Or not, in this case. Six picks, two go through and there is MUCH competition.

Darren Ferguson
Steve Corica
Seyi George Olofinjana
Jamie O'Hara
Tongo Doumbia
Darron Gibson

Shit, shit, absolute shit. I could have comfortably made three or four completely different lists.

JOH misses out on the top two because although he's a dreadful, tennis ball headed, hippo shaped, self-absorbed nonsense of a man, I did see him do some good things occasionally. But I can't leave him out altogether.

We *actually* played Ferguson and Corica together at times. It really happened. It was as good as it sounds.

I haven't used my "heart of a pea" phrase for a while, that six don't even have that between them.

 

[Trips]

Midfield and strikers are going to be difficult to narrow down to 6

 

[machin05]

Cue Alan's case for the defense of Tongo....

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Are we classing Seol as a forward rather than a midfielder? I can't actually remember where the useless bugger played even though I had a season ticket at the time. I think I dozed through all those matches.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He played wide left or right so you've missed the boat on him really.

 

[Langers]

Steve Corica
Jamie O'Hara
Darren Ferguson
Eggert Jonsson
Tongo Doumbia
Mark Atkins

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Shame.

My midfield list currently has 9 players on it and will probably get longer. This is going to be tough.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Darren Ferguson
Darren Anderton
Darren Gibson
Eggard Johnnson
Jaimie O Hara
George Saville

What an absolute shit fest! Again I am resisting lots of the 80s dross who were clearly worse footballers but were being picked as we were a skint club heading on a fast downward spiral and we would promote players from Suinday League to first team just to make the numbers up it appeared. So not really their fault. I could have doubled this list and justified it, but I tried to pick those who played a few times there apart from the Egg who was just an awful signing.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I now have 10 names. Our midfielders have been so poor that Darren Potter may not even make the cut.
