Man of the Match: Luton Town (A)

How Henderson is scoring lower than Leahy and Magnus just goes to show these rankings are a joke and whoever compiled them was clearly not watching this game without any focus. I think within 2 mins Henderson was clearing out the back line as Anders made a mistake.

It’s Fotmob pulling in stats from elsewhere. They’re a good broad guide across matches and the season(s).

We’ve been the width of a crossbar away from being relegated out of the entire football league since then. That is an absolutely absurd statement

That was the squad. Think it through.

Sorry, I must be being thick. I’ve no idea what you mean

I have just had a quick check out of curiosity and the number of ex-Aldershot players we had in our squad that season was zero

Pretty easy, Casey.

All the errors came from our normally much more reliable left hand side. Casey & Grimmer managed to avoid the same issues on the right.

Overall, a shocking all round performance.

In addition, Lu’on is half an hour down the road from me, yet I’d still rather go to Carlisle. KR somehow gets worse with every visit.

On the basis that I thumbs up posts on here that make me laugh out loud and Norris’s ā€˜performance’ was high level comedy I probably should have voted for him.

But I went for Henderson - some quality

Those outfield player rankings look grossly inflated to my jaundiced eyes.

Norris is no joke. Morris would have made a better fist of it. @Morris.Ital that is.

Thanks for the vote micra, I’d have given it my all and left nothing in the changing room,I might not have taken much on to the pitch but I’d have left nothing in the changing room.

Actually I was nicknamed the cat at school mainly because I slept a lot but was adept with the spade on camping trips.

It’s very unlike you to forget Dean Morgan.

Dean Morgan…special memories of him. At Accrington Stanley on a cold wet day, and at a thrown in, Dean was clutching the testicles of an opposition player ala Vinnie and Gascoigne. He was right by us and I shouted ā€˜leave him alone Dean you pervert’ to which he responded with a hearty chuckle.

Surely you’re not suggesting Eric deliberately picked out one tiny part of a post that he could use as a straw man mounted on his high horse and then got his facts wrong? That’s never happened before.

Along with @Chairboys80 you are without the dullest, one note poster on here now - you’ve made your feelings known about the club ownership on possibly several hundred occasions, we get it. You are also, in all honestly, the only person i can think of that regularly verbally abuses other posters. This place is obviously not good for your mental health anymore, maybe its just time to retire @drcongo @NewStyleOfPlay

A tiny part?

You talked about ā€œraiding Aldershotā€ for players and said it was the worst squad we’ve had since then

In fact since then we’ve almost gone out of the entire football league and in that entire season there was only one player (hands up, I missed him) who’d ever played for Aldershot before (on loan several seasons beforehand for a month or so. We signed him from Chesterfield I think, or at least after he was released by Chesterfield)

Anyway, point being that the squad who almost got relegated to the conference was worse than any of Waddock’s squads. In fact Gaz took over Waddock’s worst squad and led us to mid-table safety

How many of them were signed by Waddock?

I ā€œthinkā€ (I’m sure someone will correct me) that of the 32 players that were in our squad that season, 8 were signed by Waddock.

Of those, two were two of our better players (Stuart Lewis and Sam Wood), a third (Dean Morgan) I thought was our very best player (although I concede plenty disagree with me). Also Marvin McCoy who was ok….and Gary Doherty, who was excellent but struggled with a knee injury that eventually forced him to retire (whereupon we signed some chap called Alfie Mawson …I think he did ok)

The others were Matthew Spring, who was awful and only played 5 times that season, Lee Angol who played 3 times in 2 years, and Jo Kuffour who wasn’t very good.

A lot of the squad that season had come through the youth team - Ingram, Hause, Stewart, Kewley-Graham, Scowen, Kretzschmar, McClure, Morias

There are some players in there I barely remember - Nick Arnold, Tommy Fletcher, Sam Togwell I’m looking at you; Gaz signed these. As he did Jordan Mustoe, who I swear I have never heard of but apparently played for us 3 times.
