Gary Jones, Gary Holt, and that winger we had on loan from Napoli a few years ago.

Him that scored at Newcastle. f*** me he was gash.

Dumitru-yes,he was awful(a real Fawaz special).

Dadi, Dumitru and Vincent Fernandez for me.

Probably the only three I’ve seen in the garibaldi whose performance I think I could’ve matched myself.

Ha ha! Fernandez - now there's a name from the past. I remember the brief excitement around a promising youth teamer breaking through into the team, turning into bafflement that anyone ever thought he was good enough to put into the first team in near record time. He couldn't even get a game when we sent him out to Grays on loan.

Appalling. I saw him at Woking away in that tinpot cup we had to play in when we were league 1. I would’ve only been 20 at the time, so I’m sure I’d have done a better job at centre-half.

That game must be the worst Forest eleven ever named in a competitive match, surely? Martin Vickerton has to be up there with the likes of Fernandez too….

I reckon the 4 who didn’t get off the bench would probably turn over the 12 who did get on the pitch

It gets my vote.

Wow that is shocking haha. Needs Gary Jones in for Bopp, and Dumitru in there somewhere, maybe in goal.

For those who can't remember, Jones was Platt's most abysmal signing. Was released on a free from Tranmere in about 2003, they were 2 divisions below us I think. So of course, why not sign a League 2 reject? It was difficult to believe he was a real player. Just unbelievable. Maybe I'd put him in goal.

It was obviously the self-styled Ginger Mourinho's intention to beat Woking with a weakened side.

Saying that, there was a fair amount of quality in that side - Gerrard, Thompson, Holt (presume Gary - crap for us but was a PL player), Gardner was talented, Bopp was half decent... It really should have been enough.

But then, Ginger Gary was crap so that probably explains most of it.

That was a bleak day in our history that was, absolutely dire, shipping three against Woking with that utter dross for a side in the LDV Vans Trophy

Should we miss out on the playoffs this season people should remember how utterly shit things were back then

Not entirely correct. We signed him on a 'Bosman' free-transfer. Tranmere wanted to resign him, not release him, but they couldn't reach agreement on a contract, so Platt swooped in - and, unbelievably, Tranmere were in the same division as us at the time.

He was abysmal though - although there was a lot of competition for Platt's worst signing.

Remember it? I have PTSD from it. If we were ever to play Woking again, I think I'd have to check myself into the looney bin.

 

[Masuka]

Maybe a bit of recent bias but Adama Diakhaby is one of the worst players I’ve seen play for us in a long time. I remember he was described as a greyhound dribbling a balloon.

Arguably the slowest player I have ever had the misfortune to watch play professional football.

He had the remarkable ability to not only run slower with the ball but also appear to be running backwards with it.

Played like he was approaching a black hole. Couldn't trap a bag of wet cement. Looked like a random bus driver had been invited onto the pitch. He's my favourite 5h1t player of all time. The benchmark.

It also started absolutely pissing it down right at the end and I almost killed myself on the M1 on the way home as I aquaplaned across all 3 lanes. New trousers were needed.

Still think death would’ve been a better experience than the game though.

Good to tick a new ground off though..

 

[Battered Sausage]

It’s not like these guys aren’t good footballers. People forget how high the levels of ability are to become a professional, second tier footballer. Especially youth World Cup finals.

Success is all about the role the player is asked to play in a system that highlights their strengths and protects their weaknesses.

We are building a foundation for success and it seems very likely that the players we bring in fit the roles we want them to play. Barring goal conversion and based on a very small sample size, Surridge and Grabban seem very similar players from their stats.

There was a post probably 15 years ago on here by an ex-semi-pro or something like that, I can't remember his name but he said that most players in a league have more or less the same technical ability (exluding the absoute outliers at either end.

The difference will come from fitness, formation and attitude all things the manager influences. Zac Cough is a perfect example, heard from a very good source he was one of the most gifted footbalers at the club when he was here but was just a lazy f***er. I also believe DMSC are hiring on attitude too.

Clough and Taylor paid a great deal of attention to a player’s personality and attitude before signing him.

Aye... and their haircuts!

I like how he busted an absolute gut when he came on.

 

[Strummer]

Yeah, there’s a player there, isn’t there?

Didn't he look like he was completely and utterly up for it!

Think he could be a star in the future.

 

[Dirk Furtull]

Yep looked good and I'm sure he'll get plenty of game time with Grabs out.

There is some similarity between him and Davis. I can see why Coops brought him in. Welcome Sam, I know you're on here

We appear to have acquired 2 big front men who can hold up the ball and turn an opponent.
