deancoles 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 As a City fan I'd say Derby would have been better than the Forest side(which was still great) had Clough stayed, Clough even admits leaving Derby was a mistake in his 2nd book. Championship Table Derby are doing great, but without Rasiak they'd be midtable. Forest are doing crap but will stay up because of Plymouth,Gillingham and Rotherham being worse.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 I don't know about Rasiak, Tudgay has not played many this season but has nine league goals to his name, Smith has about 10, Junior is pushing for a return, we've a few good players. Idiakez and Reich, Bisgaard are all parts of why we're doing so well. It's like saying Everton are only doing well because of Bent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't trying to say you were an Everton, I meant that since he's signed he's got your other forwards scoring and has chipped in with goals himself. Burley has done a great job considering your lack of money, picking up Idiakez and Reich was a good move. Edit: Lee Camp looks promising, last year he looked good playing for QPR against us and I'm surprised they didn't make more of an effort to sign him on a permanent deal.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2005 Camp was approached to be signed a few times, but Burley obviously saw something in him himself when he was at QPR on loan. Lee Grant had a great season last season, but started the season at number 2, surpisingly. Looking back, it's not so surprising now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 1-1 at home to Blackpool, Phillips cost us the goal by punching a cross straight to Wellens, I'd drop him but we've only got Jonathan Gould(who used to play for Celtic) as reserve and at his age and with him having only joined in midweek it seems that he wouldn't do much better.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 Ha. What are your fans' opinions of Robbie Savage these days? Blackburn and maybe you are the only ones left who tolerate him. Personally i've still got time for him and Dickov, both gave their all down here and was sad to see both of them go. A lot wouldn't share my view though. Savage seemed determined to be on his worst behaviour when Birmingham visited last year like he was deliberately making sure he was booed just like at any other ground. Still got a feeling most Leicester fans just pull a wry smile while other fans are screaming abuse at him if they're watching on tv. Dickov isn't popular for going when he was expected to stay (said he would supposedly) but he deserved to stay in the Premier I reckon. Couldn't read this page without posting that. Strange. What's the point of putting 30+ year olds on that list? They aren't there any more for a reason for god's sake! Old man Teddy being the exception but he could barely manage 90 minutes. Some of the picks are quite accurate, some are just lazy (15+ goals in Div 3 = Quality!). They're definately having a joke with number 17. Bit less long winded than the one involving Peter Taylor, Robbie Savage and a chip shop in Tottenham though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 Idiakez and Rasiak SHOULD be on the list, Bisgaard, Reich, Tommy Smith, they COULD be on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 Akinbiyi in the top 20 when he was playing for us 5 years ago would have been a stretch but now it's a joke. Yeovil getting 2 players in is nice recognition for their great season yet they leave out Gavin Williams who was their best player and joined West Ham for 250k a few weeks ago. Trundle isn't even the best player in League 2 yet he's rated higher than Lita,Jevons,Parkin,Furlong,Howard,Huddlestone,Windass,Wellens,Webber and Maclean who are all in a higher division doing well or have scored more than him this season.
