Binky 0 Posted December 26, 2008 As we near the end of 2008 I thought I’d look back at some of the views expressed on this message board at the start of the season. I am excluding posters’ names to save blushes – though to their credit some have since admitted to a change of mind – whilst others (perhaps to their greater credit) may well stick to their original views. It’s worth pointing out that the majority of posters disagreed with these views at the time:1. I also dont understand how some fans cant see how good Fozzy actually is.He is by far the best passer at the club, the only reason people notice him giving it away sometimes is because he usually has the ball more often than the others. Also his awareness is on another level and often his passes are not read by his team mates.2. I am a big fozzy fan and think he was a real asset last season - he is a very good captain, his passion is there for all to see, and he has fantastic vision and can pick a pass.The other thing, which has not been mentioned in this thread thus far, which both me and my dad noticed last season, is his movement. He is always open for a pass and gives players an outlet when they''re in possession. He is always moving and looking for the ball and making himself available, this is one of his key attributes in my opinion, and a big part of his game, and a big factor in why we are more successful with him involved in the team than when he isn''t.Fozzy is a decent championship midfielder and i think next season we will see his class shine through.3. THE FACTS DONT LIE. WITHOUT FOZZY, CITY BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUEWITH FOZZY, TOUCHING DISTANCE OF PLAYOFFS. NO COINCIDENCEFOZZY MAKES US TICK LIKE SAFRI USED TO.MOST OVERRATED PLAYER IN CLUBS HISTORY? YOUR BLIND...4. He can pass, he can shoot, he can tackle, and he puts in as much effort as all the others if not more, i really do not get why people think he is so bad, and if Clingan is so good why has he been in league 1 so long5. His attitude is superb…he’s a real good guy…he was excellent (last week) and knocked in some wonderful balls, some lovely diagonal balls…” That last one is not from a poster but from Glenn Roeder himself, just last month. And as some of you will have spotted, he wasn’t referring to Fotheringham – but to Simon Lappin. You couldn’t make it up could you?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But somehow I think this post was just a bit of a laugh looking back on what we used to say... I thought it was quite interesting anyway seeing what people used to think of him.[/quote]Well thank you Shaun! Now, I hope you have no objection to the subsequent Clingan thread...?!

Huddy 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Can You guess who Roeder was talking about shortly after signing these players.(??? stop identity being given away"Statement - "We are working to a budget and we need to be careful that i spend every penny carefully"!Player Number One"I am Very Pleased, i did my homework on him, the standards are so high at ???? that he moved onto ??. He is an extreemly hard working player"Player Number Two"Im really pleased with?? Hes young and looks very lively, in the couple of 11 a side games weve had hes knocked the ball in the back of the net a couple of times. He looks very well above average for a ?? year old. We had to beat off three or four other championship clubs, ?? knows he will play games for us. Hes an exciting young talent with an athletic build"Player Number 3"I am delighted to have secured the signing. Hes scored lots of goals, may with his head and will be a great role model to younger players. We should be undefeated thats why?? has been brought to the club. It is (Final piece of Jigsaw) at the moment. As long as its a ball of hal;f decent quality he will bring it down and bring others in to play"Players 4 and 5"They are worth £5 Million between them, maybe more, proper talents"And dont even get me started on archiblad henville.Weve been conned i tell you!
