    One half of the legendary 'Beavers-Agogo' strike force I think? Terrible news. RIP Junior.

    Such a good point. Normally at the start of the season I'm usually hopeful. This season I thoroughly expect us to be dreadful and fear the worst. This all seems to be self-inflicted as well. It's just crazy.
  3. perfectOzblue
    Yeah, nowhere near the worst. He wasn't great but usually gave his all and summed up that Ritchie 98-2001 era; we seemed to have lots of players who weren't the most talented but put a shift in most of the time.
  4. perfectOzblue
    Was crap but I think did get a couple of goals. Or maybe one (Crewe away possibly?). But yeah, on a par with Facet for crapness.

    He wasn't the shittest but I found Stuart Barlow really irritating. Yet another of the not very good former Everton brigade and seemed to miss loads of easy chances. Depressing we got him after great/decent strikers like Ritchie, Marshall, Sharp etc.

    Tough as nails but basically a perma-crock.

    On the positive side - he turned into Maradonna for one night vs Notts County in the League Cup. Scored two, including a brilliant one. One the massively debit side, should have scored a glorious late equalizer at Old Trafford but was scared by Schmeichel. So yeah...he can do one. But not the worst.

    If you judge it by reputations (as in you thought they could still be okay but they were total crud) then Brett Ormerod, Ben Burgess and Steve Kabba were all just appalling. Then there were others who just weren't up it - Matty Barlow, Paul Beavers, Junior Agogo, Molango, David McNiven, Dean Crowe, Dean Kelly etc etc...

    Question please - did he look like he could still play at a higher level while with us or was he total gash?
  10. perfectOzblue
    Quite possibly. Think he scored a belter in one of his first games (v West Ham, 2-2?) but otherwise did little. Royle seemed to sign a few former Everton / City players whose best days were behind them unfortunately....
  11. perfectOzblue
    And of those signings, who lived up to it (bearing in mind those were decent fees in the early 90s)? Milligan was good, Pointon okay (but scored at Wembley and versus Southampton so deserves love for that) and McCarthy had one decent season in the second tier. Not a great outlay though. Royle really was better with limited funds....
  12. perfectOzblue
    He was good in his first season (as a player). But the second half of that sentence is accurate.
  13. perfectOzblue
    I'm sure he'll be a tree-mendous signing.

    A-League is L1/L2 standard in my opinion, with the odd decent player thrown in. Past his prime Adam Le Fondre was one of the leading strikers last season which indicates the comparative standard. Brisbane decent place to live and he'll be playing in a big stadium (admittedly only a quarter full) for home games. Wish he'd been better for Latics but a great adventure for him. Good luck to the lad.
  15. perfectOzblue
    This. Close thing between Shez and Dux - one brought class, the other leadership - but going with Shez.
  16. perfectOzblue
    Former Latics loanee Aiden O'Neill (still on Burnley's books) signs on a loan deal for Brisbane Roar, who recently appointed Robbie Fowler as their new boss. O'Neill did okay playing for struggling Central Coast Mariners in the A-League last season.

    And didn't they also palm Michael Clegg off on to us? My God he was bad....
  18. perfectOzblue
    Ben Hamer - remind me please? Long distance fan and memory a bit hazy these days but don't recall him....?
  19. perfectOzblue
    Former (brief) loanee Fabio Ferreira released by A-League premiers (that's the team who finishes top of regular season) Perth Glory. He's had a mini-tour of A-League clubs in his time.
  20. perfectOzblue
    Neil Kilkenny's Perth Glory loses A-League grand final on pens to Sydney FC. Kilkenny still bossing the midfield.
  21. perfectOzblue
    Long distance fan here. Surprised by lack of sadness in thread to Jose being released. Has he been that unimpressive this season? Give him a decent pre-season and he could be handy in League Two, right?
  22. perfectOzblue
    Brilliant night match. Sean McCarthy on fire, smashed an unstoppable 20-yarder in. I was sure we were going straight back up to the Prem after that but then everything went to shit..
  23. perfectOzblue
    Also two days earlier (I think - the days when teams played Tuesday and Thursday!) we couldn't beat Sheff Utd at home in a six-pointer. They were a bunch of thugs in those days under Dave Bassett and held us to a draw. Think we both got relegated in the end.

    Our user names may be similar but can I completely and totally disasocciate myself from that poster? Thanks if so!

    Aiden O'Neill sent off for Central Coast Mariners in their 5-3 loss to Brisbane Roar. Think he's on a season-long loan there. They've had a 'mare of a season, bottom of the league.
